Thanks, I'll give it a go. That's a proper Hi-Fi bargain right there!

Thanks for the info. I presume if I were to try the halved squash balls, I'd use these instead of the feet and just rest them underneath the turntable or use some double sided tape maybe?

Is it a normal procedure for TT manufacturers to supply felt feet? Unless I use blu-tack underneath the whole thing slides about like it's on ice simply from lifting the dust cover off. I would have thought rubber would be better at isolation and gripping. When it comes to maintenance of the...

Ahhh, that sucks for me! I'll Google but I cannot touch just yet!

Thanks for the tips. That looks stunning btw.

After purchase. I don't think it's faulty (though the hinge fixings could be better), I think given the reviews of it and the 2M Red cartridge, I had expected better. It's my first TT and £439 was a lot for me to spend. In my opinion it often sound thin and boring meaning I never really took...

If I were to walk near-ish the speakers, the cones move a fair bit. Whilst this isn't exactly audible from what I can gather, it's still not isolating very well. All very good tips here, the squash balls are a good shout! Are Linn LP12s still well regarded? Trying to weigh up isolating mine and...

I tried searching for the suspended type but couldn't much. What sort of price do they come in at?

Thanks for the response. It's sitting on a media unit made by 'Just Racks' which is similar to IKEA's offerings. So probably not at all best, but the best I could find to house my kit. Wall mounting isn't an option since I'm in a rented property. Would changing the feet help/are there any good...

Hello all. I've tried searching for this to avoid a duplicate question but can't find anything. I have a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB. It's my first turntable and I've never really been happy with it. Mainly due to the fact that it doesn't appear to be well isolated and despite little use...

@Gonepostal Did you go for this upgrade in the end? I have the Debut Carbon Esprit (acrylic) SB and have been wondering for a fair few months now if this is worth my time as a cost efficient upgrade/vs how much I'd be expecting to spend for a reasonable TT upgrade.

Thanks! Yeah it's the original non freedom variant.

Thanks very much 👍 Is it correct that stands should be filled ⅔ to ½ half way? What would you recommend I fill with and how would that compare to atabites, is it worth the price? As for the amp, does anyone have any other recommendations for the 751? I would like to test a few and keep the...

So I have a few queries and am hoping to get some advice. I have recently purchased some Mission 751 speakers and am currently hunting for some stands. Having been used to floorstanders for some time, this is a bit new to me. From my very rough trial placing the 751s on my floorstanders, and...
