How are you leveling the turntable using only the raquet balls underneath?

Tvad, I have yet to level it. Rough measuring shows it is even. I am getting a level soon-ordered.

Still experimenting.

cheers, ed

Hey Tvad, are you the one who got an AT150MLX cartridge and got rid of it because it revealed too much surface noise (or was that Viridian)?

I did a little platforming tweak to my SL1210 that dropped the surface noise like a stone.

Basically, put threaded cones on the SL12x0, get some floorsavers at least 1-5/8" in diameter, and place these on a set of #2 Vibrapods. Situate the cone points on the floorsavers on the Vibrapods. Place that on a platform (I use a butcher block cutting board) and pad the cutting board with a couple of 19" gel wristpads made for computer keyboards. Or you could use another set of Vibrapods under the cutting board.

I did sell the AT150Mlx.

I bought another about three months ago, but I have not mounted it. My Dynavector XX MK II sounds too good.

I installed a sandbox designed by Thom Mackris of Galibier Designs under my SL1200, and that has made a significant improvement. I have no plans to tweak the table further.

so johnny you are running an AT150? I am too. surface noise not an issue here.

Well, since you were entertaining the thought of upgrading the feet, I was just trying to share my most recent experience in case you find it useful.
