Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if...


...that is the only mod you purchase for a technics 1210? My setup will consist of a 3" maple platform with brass footers replacing the existing ones. I really don't think I could do the rewire myself, and I don't really want to send my turntable into KAB. With just the purchase of the damper would this rig be able to get the most out of higher end cartridges?--Cheers

Kevin of KAB sells three isolating devices: Sonic Domes, Sorbothane Boots, and Isonoe Footers.

He seems to know the Technics tables very well, and I'd put my faith in his selection of tweaks.

Yeah. I got tired of equivocating over whether to get Mapleshade Heavyfeet or Isonoe footers, so I ended up spending that amount of money on a Cambridge 640p phono stage instead. Turned out to be a good choice. :)

That's what counts.
anyone buy the super mat from kabusa? is it better than the stock mat for the 1210m5g?

thanks

Your M5G should have came with a 17oz X 1/4" rubber mat (Super Mat)
BTW -little tweak- try flipping it over so the smooth side is up for a different sound. The mat will then only contact the platter at the raised rings, amazing difference in sound, better or worse I am not sure, but different.
