Thanks everyone for the thoughts and comments. I can not rest in the knowledge it does not make a blind bit of difference!

Thanks for the advise folks. I am a newbie here. Seems my ears haven't been playing tricks - it really does not make any difference!

Lol. I recall the guy in Richer Sounds saying the same to me when I bought the connectors. I have tried them both ways and I hear no difference. But surely the arrows are there for a reason? Or does it honestly not make a blind bit of difference?

CD to amp connector cables often come with arrows on the cables indicating the correct way to connect them. As in the arrow pointer indicates the flow from CD player to amp. Does it actually make any difference if you were to fit them in the opposite direction? Odd question I know but some...

Currently placed on top of a Krudd wooden hifi unit. It's very sturdy.

I'm the original poster OP and the Debut Carbon was around the price I wanted to pay at the time. The upgrades have been worth it - 2M blue, platter and sub platter. I think that'll be that now. But from advise I was given / read, it seemed better than selling at a loss and buying a new...

Really good advise and help. Thanks for your time - much appreciated.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Pro-Ject Ground-IT E? Seems for people wishing to upgrade this is one of the items that comes out on top...

Cheers!! All ordered and arrives Friday.

Cheers for the response. All change. Static is actually only on a few albums but motivation was both that and any improvements I can make, to what to me already sounds good. I opted for both the Project acrylic platter and sub platter in the end.

Thanks everyone for the advise. I am kinda tempted to push the boat out seeing it's Christmas and purchase the Project Debut Aluminium Sub Platter and Project Acryl It Acrylic Platter. Not exactly cheap but from what I have read these 2 items would be good upgrades.

Yes I reckon the mat I replaced was 1mm and replaced with a 3mm acrylic mat.

Thanks!

It was the flimsy felt mat that came with the turntable. Probably 1mm. Thanks.

Thanks for the advise. Main thing I am trying to confirm, is am I OK placing a 3mm acrylic mat on top of my base turntable platter. You can't adjust VTA on a Project Carbon DC but my gut feeling is that it should be OK? It will obviously raise height a tad more than a felt or cork mat.
