A hugh piece of my text dropped out. The big change was remote mounting my motor. I screwed a 1/2" thick spacer of plywood under my motor, then pealed the motor off the plinth and used 30lb sticky tape to adhere it to my base. I also mounted the speed controller to the base. You can buy a whole Michael Lim setup, but I spent $11. Michael's is about $170 with shipping. Michael's has higher resale.

I just want to follow what others had done. I do really appreciate if you take your time to share some experiences.

Basically that`s what the SRM Silent Base does ! I added one, as did my buddy and it absolutely lowered the noise level. We both agreed on that without doubt. In fact, after I set his up for him he asked me what to expect knowing I`d already done mine. I declined to comment...told him to listen for awhile then tell me what he heard. It was EXACTLY what I heard...quieter all around. Worth every cent AND looks great in clear acrylic ! |
@mountainsong - here is my revamped Regar Planar II from 1981 http://image99.net/blog/files/category-turntable-mod0027s.html It sounds amazing and I would not change it - the uprgades were edcational and gave me greater understanding of the issues associated with each uprade Regards - Steve |
