| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Thanks Zaikesman, As far as dampening the platter... As I stated, we manufactured an item called glasmat. It was 1/4 inch of glass with felt on both sides. The best platter dampening we did was dampening the bottom of the platter along with gluing... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Hi Zaikesman, Whether you think it is beneficial or not, thats what we did, never had any issues, dampening never hurts. We probably modded 50 or 60 tables over time. If I did one today for myself, I'd still do it. Thanks for the tip on the feet.... | |

I wish that I could quote some test somewhere, but I have had hundre... | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Mitch4t, Sorry, I just realized that I did not completely answer your question... Also yes, you can put a sub behind you. Back at Marcof Electronics seems like 300 years ago, we had our own sub design. We buit an 8, 10, 12 & 15 inch model.. At... | |
