Hello,
I finally found time to assemble the feet onto my turntable and have a listen during the weekend. With better isolation now I found less tracking problems/noises as I haven't bought a proper shelf yet, and also the bass range is cleaner and a bit more controlled now. Liyuan |
Hi Michael.
Firstly sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have installed the counterweight and all seems to working very well indeed. Firstly it's great that I can now get my dust cover on again. Secondly I was surprised to find that you counterweight seems to have dropped the floor noise and tightened up the bass just a bit. I'm very impressed with the quality of your product and thanks again for the great communication. I have attached some before and after photos. Thanks once again! Cheers, Tristan. |
Hi Michael, I received all the items last Wednesday evening and did some surgeries on my Rega P5. I could do all the modification jobs with no problem following your instructions. Now my P5 is dead quiet. The outboard motor base is a real gem! The soundstage becomes much wider and deeper and the sound image from complex orchestral works seems to be even clearer and finer. I 'm sure without hesitation that this is the biggest upgrade among all modifications. This is my short impression and I think I have to check more LPs and enjoy with more music. I'm adding some pictures of my rega P5. My hat off to you for all your efforts done so far. Thank you again for your suggestions and nice upgrades. Best regards, Alex Hong from Seoul, Korea |
