Goldring 1042 Anti Skate Too High on Dead Wax
nedhogan, check the stylus to make sure it is not defective. A 10X magnifier will do. Make sure the VTF is not too low. I know you said you checked it. There is an old expression. Measure twice, cut once. Check it with a digital tracking force gau...

Lewm, not at all but, people do funny things. Reducing the spring rate would be tough. You would have to replace all four springs with springs exactly the same size and length under tension. Some people may have added damping to the springs by stu...

middlemass, you like Captain Beefheart! My Acoustat 2+2s played Trout Mask just yesterday.My best friend is stuck in Mass General following back surgery. They won't  let him go until he poops. With all the morphine they are pumping into him it mig... 
Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable.
David you are right and you will be absolutely fine. I would do it with just one chain per speaker sized so the speakers hang at ear height.Even if you did not cross out at 100 Hz you would be fine. The mass of the cone assembly is far less than t...

Moving to France
Call Oracle, I bet you can get a 240v motor drive for it.We've cycled through France twice. Most people think "Paris" when they think of France. The countryside and it's people are wonderful and totally different from the character of Paris.  
Turntable power supply/motor’s role in SQ for belt drive TT
Just another reason to get a Sota. Better motor, better suspension, better bearing (magnetic thrust control), Better tonearm mount and you can throw the wall shelf away (which does not work in all cases.) The LP 12 has more "upgrades" than any oth...

Nice work Indranilsen, That is about as far as the Sota springs will compress before the chassis hits its stop. Remember the Sota subchassis hangs from its springs. This is the best picture I could find of ithttps://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/vin... 
Bent Slightly Out of Shape
Azimuth slaw. Slaw could be right as long as it is not skewed too far. But, my own inclination would be to install the Grado.

Lewm, You put a record on the turntable with any record weight type device you use then press the turntable down evenly to stretch or compress the springs equally then let go and count. 3 hz is very slow and should be fairly easy to count. If the ...

Uberwaltz, if you put the resonance frequency anywhere within the range of 20 to 150 Hz you are likely to make a change in the way you perceive bass. If everything else is set up correctly and of reasonable quality it is hard to believe that would...

 The absolute finest systems have flaws directed signal processing can correct. Even Michael Fremer admits that processing done at          192/24 or faster is invisible. The central possessor in the Tact operates at 192/48. There are processors n...

UBERWALTZ, that was not at all what I was saying!!! I was saying a proper DSP system. I was not reflecting at all on anyone else system in any way shape or form so please calm down.

In the mean while, isolating your turntable will improve your signal to noise ratio and  if properly done protect it from nuisance issues like foot fall skipping. If your turntable is on a solid rack planted on a concrete floor the improvement wil...

You see cleeds, you have no idea either. Of course I am assuming wrongly or rightly, that all of you know what you are listening to. And cleeds, if there is no music by subwoofer cones are frozen dead.Uberwaltz, if you could hear a proper system i...
