I just got done doing the Mortite upgrade.

Ugh! As long as the original gaskets are in good condition there is no reason to use that crap.

F1nut,

Do you have to work at being an ass?   Or does it just come natural?

Lay off Jesse..He's just trying to help.  ;) This guy is a true SOURCE of audio knowledge. He's a little direct but that's what's needed somtimes to reel people back in. Don't judge what you don't know....

Come on guys, chill out.    By the way, the gaskets were crappy...  And the mortite helped out, these sounded good before, great now!!!    I am going to give Mikey some extra spikes I have around here somewhere.    I still have not found a bunch of my stuff after moving.  ??? ???  Wonder what happened to it.  ???

   I know he wants to go all out on these.

F1 has a lot to offer. Especially when it comes to Polk. He just lacks tact. He'll get it eventually :D :D

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

F1nut,

Do you have to work at being an ass?   Or does it just come natural?

a U maybe.

Like Jesse said-- get the RDO replacements(you can thank him later),,alot of folks have tried the mortite thing,, some like it,,others don't,,I'm in the "don't) camp.Enjoy you speakers,,I'm sure that you'll discover that they can be tweaked to a substanualy higher level of performance.Most of all,,have fun.
