turntable skipping with footsteps
Seems you already know the solution! 
turntable feedback
This is a statement I posted on AV Guide.It shows that if you can't do everything you can to mount the TT from a wall.....you are pushing shit uphill!Mount the TT on a shelf firmly cantilevered from the wall.Sound is transmitted it 2 basic ways:AI... 
Sound proofing floor
Most of the advice posted above would spend your money for little result.Sound travels in 2 basic ways....STRUCTURE BOURNE and AIR-BOURNE.The trick is....the air-borne can become structure-borne and vice-versa.Unless you TOTALLY decouple your new ... 
Sound proofing floor
As someone has already intimated.....is consult with an Acoustic Engineer (not some builder who has done acoustic work).Acoustics is a science (unless we try to design a Concert Hall where it becomes more of an art), and what may seem logical to t... 
Valhalla interconnects - recommended?
Leica man,I've read some of your threads on the Synergistic Research range which interest me.As I'm in Australia, I don't think The Cable Company will be happy to send me cables for testing?If I don't want leaner, brighter or more vivid than the C...

Dgad,You appear to have had the Phantom on your Raven at the same time as the Schroeder Ref?Are you able to give us your impressions of these 2 arms?

Phaser/Downunder,A pleasure to have you both over at the same time to hear the Raven/Copperhead/Grandezza.A Sunday or Monday in 3 or 4 weeks time would suit?Use Email to confirm/liaise? 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
I thought your review was admirable Jon.I have the Raven AC with both the Continuum Copperhead (Dynavector DV1s) and Davinci Grandezza (ZYX Universe) arms, and I can clearly hear the different 'colouring' of both arms!So perhaps the 'colouring' yo...

Thomas,You are the best placed among us to comment on the differences YOU hear between:-The PhantomThe TriplanarDavinci GrandezzaI'd be most interested in your views? 
Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms
Hey guys.....don't underestimate the Rega Planar 3!It MUST be wall-mounted and the Hadcock GH228 is a far better match than the Rega arms.I simply don't gel with the sound of suspended decks.......do any of you see a similarity here - Caliburn, Cr... 
Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms
Raul,The real high-end of Audio is rarefied indeed.The vast majority of listeners will never be able to hear the true cutting-edge designs in their own systems, in their own listening environment.If one were to evaluate advances in audio design by... 
Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
Sirspeedy I haven't ignored your request for a review of the Copperhead arm.As I think I mentioned, I'm waiting to mount my newly arrived Davinci Grandezza 12" Ref to see just how good the Copperhead is against what I consider to be formidable opp...
