Yep,
Looks great, I found exactly the same improvment, with my quest upgrade. better clarity and soundstage.
What was the finish that you chose, mine was zebrano to match my zebrano SA1s.............

Walnut to match stand and speakers
Can't believe how much better it sounds
Next the speakers :rockout:
The single biggest improvement/modification you could make that has repeatedly been proven to be successful regardless of other factors is fluid damping. There are technically no downsides to it I know of as it really cuts down on unwanted vibrations and pushes the ones left outside of the most harmful range.
Whether the resulting more neutral or less coloured (some may perhaps call it 'boring') sound is to your taste is another question but that it works is undisputable whether done as Townshend does on the headshell or the Paris, Well Tempered etc does on the arm. The measurements are there.

Have you tried, with and with out, the 'heavy puck record clamp' and removing the 'perspex cover'?

CJSF said:
Yes decided it sounds better with cover off.
Puck depends on records some better some no real difference with it.
Prefer the sound of acrylic platter naked compared with glass and felt mat.

Looks good to me. Has the Sub Platter damping kit arived Andy?
I believe 'Inspire' recomend thier 3mm acylic 'platter mat' on top of the acrylic patter??? . . . that one puzzels me :?
My system uses the glass platter + 3mm acrylic patter mat, I prefer the slightly sharper sound this produces, but then, I'm not using the Inspire plinth . . . yet???? Recomended it a time or two . . . do as I say, not as I do . . .
What's going through my mind; Inspire upgrade as per yours, . . . plus the metal sub platter/rubby bearing, Audio Mods arm and my Sumiko Pearwood Celibration cartridge . . . food for my drooling brain :O

Sub-platter kit in post.
Will look into acrylic platter matt, but at the mo sounds better to me without felt one.
Very happy with the sound and having moved my speakers ever so slightly more away from wall now 9" clear( and she
hasn't moaned) no bass boom (this was only on certain recordings) so will listen enjoy and think about speakers.
I may be wrong Andy . . . I believe Dany Cobalt has the Inspire with Vinyl platter and 3mm Vinyl mat, perhaps he can shed some light?
The SP kit might help with the base boom?

Cheers CJSF, bass boom seems to have gone, a mixture of speaker placement and TT upgrade.
Happy now, had a whole day listening to vinyl. Going to be knackered tonight at work tho.
Looking forward to seeing what difference the sub plater damp kit makes.
The new TT looks amazing!
I'm interested in your fundings on the subplatter kit. Please let uw know.

Will do just waiting for it to arrive.
I'm interested in a metal sub platter as well.
This one has some good reviews over on Vinylengine

Same here, bonus if you get a download code - I just stick it on the NAS and burn a CD for the car or iPod - for serious listening its got to be vinyl!
