Albert, That sounds interesting. Is it available for the Mk2 as well?I did some more testing with the Mitchell clamp I have. I tried it with its own felt washer and that improved the bass o...

Albert, Thanks for weighing in again. I was curious what gunmetal is made of so I looked it up. Turns out it is roughly 88% copper, 10% tin, and 2% zinc. Which should make it less likely to corrode...

Albert, Thanks I'll have to check those out. Another mat that looks interesting is the 4 lb. copper mat from TTweights. Do you think that would work as well as the Cu-180 on the mk2? The Cu-180 see...

Lbelchev, I like the Reed/SP10 combo alot. It's the best analog setup I 've had so far. Very quiet and the speed is much more stable than the belt drives I've had. I think alot will depend on the q...

Just moved my AT-150mlx back to the Reed/SP10. The AT-150mlx is the most detailed cart I have at the moment and the Reed is the best at showing that off. I put the Rega Exact on the VPI Classic. Th...
