Spinning on the Turntable now...

[kap'n krunch]

Word on the street, says don’t use dust cover while spinning!!

Why????

Why????

they transmit sound waves back into your table, which in turn makes the vinyl play back have a slight muddiness to it.

Hmmmm...
from my VERY limited scientific knowledge, the only vibrations that would emanate would be from the stylus and those are VERY high and their wavelength would be way too short to fit within the enclosed space, granted, we could include their subharmonics but still...
but then, that would make my SL-QL1 a mess regarding muddiness...

Listening to George's Wonderwall Music in dolby surround. It spreads really well, and sounds great!

 

[John Svensson]

In glorious mono....well, I like to hear things in the format they were mixed from the 60's, beats reprocessed stereo.

Cat Steven's Greatest hits - CD-4. Contrary to most "reviews" of this, it is a wonderful production and record.

A quick pic then cracking her open and then a test spin x4, couldn't pass up a deal on a NOS 45 rpm of this great album.

I'm the street? I'm a four lane highway!

(I don't even know what that means, but it sounds evocative, LOL.)

If you tap on your plinth can you hear it through the speakers?

..is the plinth the base?
if so, not really, it is very well isolated...

The plinth is the "body" of the table, the box on which the arm and platter are mounted. Not sure if that's what you meant by "base" or if you meant the shelf it sits on.

Cool. Mine makes a distinct thud when I tap on it, but I always knew that was the weak link on a strong table. What are you playing your records on?

The QL-A7 is pretty heavy as well though I can't find an exact spec. The motor weighs a ton but the plinth is where they saved a few bucks. It's just basic pressboard.
