What's your favorite Turntable tweak?

Dear Louisl: +++++ " favorite tweak (or if you consider it a necessity) for obtaining the maximum from your analog rig? " +++++

depend what you mean for analog rig. We can take ( at least ) like analog rig: TT+Tonearm+Cartridge+Phono stage+Tonearm IC cable.
Is this what you are talking about? or only the TT like the thread title say.
Your answer is welcome.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Hello Dopogue/All,
AIVS's new 15# Pre-Cleaner is also a fantastic product, which I'm finding works extremely well, especially on any of my thrifts finds.

As for cleaning, we all will pretty much concur-agree, that a good RCM is a wise purchase.

And again a huge thanks to those in this forum, who suggested the use of the MintLP Protractor, and the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. These two tweaks have helped extract much better fidelity from my rig, as I'm sure, many others as well. Mark

Build a closet in the room adjacent the your listening room on the otherside of one of the houses main carrying beam if possable. Then add a solid core door for the closet to the sound room. This will remove any vibration from getting to your TT. There is also a door in the other room for access to the back of the equipment.
You could play basketball in the sound room with no ill effect to a record playing on the TT also. There is also zero feedback from your speakers playing at load volumes to the TT or any other equipment in the closet.
Best tweek I have ever done. The WAF was minimal for me also because the room is muchless cluttered.

On my Technics SL1210M5G, any/everything I've done for vibration isolation and control has made the biggest difference in dynamic range, musicality, and inner detail.

I have a platforming stack that includes brass cones, Vibrapods, a butcher block cutting board, and 18"w gel keyboard pads. Each of those tweaks made a significant improvement, but the lot of them stack up to a significant performance elevation.

Next I'd have to give credit equally to a sorbothane Oracle Groove Isolator mat and an LPGear ZuPreme headshell.

And finally, the KAB fluid damper, once the fluid was brought to the proper level (about 1/3 full) greatly improved tracking and took the groove chatter out of the music.

Raul,
Recently I purchased a Music Hall MMF-7, just haven't taken the time to update my A'gon virtual system page. I've been away from vinyl for probably 10 years now (but I was smart enought to keep all my vinyl), and am I enjoying the hell out of it. It's good to be back. Now, I just want to get the most out of what I have.
