Anthony of Malaysia has upgraded his RP6 with my dual pulley, silicone belts and aluminium adjustable feet recently.
Hi Michael, I installed everything last sunday and the overall performance is up by a clear margin.   The feet results in lots more detail and opens up the soundstage. Now there is clearly more depth and width compared to previously. However, there was a slightly bright sound overall which I thought would mellow as the belts "run in". I had a little problem installing the feet as the cap nut failed. Luckily I was doing it with help from a friend who suggested using two nuts to lock the bolt which allowed the installation of the bolts into the plinth. Sand in the rubber feet helps a lot. The background is even quieter. The brightness to the sound went away after I repositioned the double pulley a little lower, allowing the lower belt to come close to the bottom edge of the subplatter. Thanks to your design, repositioning the pulley is easy. All in, I think one would have to spend a lot more to buy a ready to use turntable that would outperform my tweaked RP6. Best regards Anthony |
