For Pro-ject turntables owners who have been requesting for more upgrades other than the present isolation motor base, here is the GOOD NEWS!
I have finally come out with a new underslung stainless counterweight for you!
 |
| Price: USD90.00 (c/w 9.5gm add-on thumbscrew weight) |
Take a look at the underslung counterweight below, it comes with a inner delrin tube which semi-decouples the counterweight from stock end stub, reducing resonance. It's about 40gm heavier than the stock unit, thus bring it closer to the tonearm pivot.
For some turntables with extra heavy MC cartridges, a bigger counterweight with heavier add-on thumbscrew weight (14.5gm instead of the standard 9.5gm) is also available.
Installation wise is just simple plug-and-play. First remove the stock counterweight. Then slide in the new counterweight and lock it in place with the grub screw (using Allen key) or with the thumbscrew from top. Lastly, get the right vtf by adjusting/moving the counterweight.
