Anyone hear technics tt and vpi scoutmaster/Aries?

ROP, have you heard other analog systems to compare to yours? Maybe even taken a couple of LPs to Elliot Mitwood's place to hear if what he has differs substantially from what you hear at home?

Maybe there's a smaller difference than you imagine.

For some reason, I get the impression you're operating in a vacuum. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

How much fluid do you have in your damper trough? Too much can definitely kill the air and low level detail that's so engaging in LP playback. I had too much in the trough when I first installed it and reduced it to about 1/3 full. At that point I got the "magic."

johnnyb,

Go here. It's the first version listed--Heavyfeet v.3. You'd order four with the M6 thread at $40 each. They're a direct screw-in replacement for the Technics feet.

Before you buy, you might want to (if you haven't already) surf Audiogon for reports from various A-goners who have bought either Heavyfeet or Isonoes. Although you can be pretty sure Kevin Barrett (KABUSA) would come down strongly in favor of Isonoe footers instead, you might call him to get his take on what Isonoes do for the sound of the Technics. There are some posts out there of what both Heavyfeet and Isonoe owners like about their purchases.
