Let's have a chuckle but please don't overwork the moderator!

Talking about isolation feet - just got a SL1300G and as I was swapping places with its 1500C predecessor, I could not help but notice the massive difference. The 1500 feet are fairly stiff, to the point they can seem/feel solid/fixed. The suspension on the 1300G is pretty "bouncy" in comparison which I assume would help with microvibration and damping.

Now I don't think my TT has much vibration (it sits on a fairly chunky, wall mounted shelf and the speakers are front ported, with the closest about 40cm away) but it's kinda reassuring.

That said, I probably would not spend £150/200 on aftermarket feet unless I had a serious vibration issue.

And I guess your new one weighs a fair bit heavier too?

Not a monstrous amount. I think it's 13kg vs the 9.9kg of the 1500C.

Which I am fairly happy about - my semi-floating shelf was quoted as carrying 10kg comfortably, so I think I can risk leaving it as it is. If I had gone for the 1210 I would have had to add a bracket underneath...

I think the biggest difference weight-wise is the platter. It does feel satisfyingly hefty.

I guess it’s a fairly decent but standard hifi grade wire, dressed up to look like the Nordost. So, a bit like Nordost, probably! 😂

Interesting, the brand name is DADE V2, it appears they've stopped calling it Nordost but model is still referenced as Valhalla 2.
I recommend to anyone, It really is an excellent cable in its own right, 7n Ofc copper silver plated and construction is of high quality. 🙂
