Thanks! What cart would you suggest? At this point, I am pretty sure that the cart is not the weakest link in my signal chain. I am using the following signal chain:
ART DJ-Pre Phono preamp -> Yamaha R-S202 Receiver -> Polk Audio RT25i Speakers
Improving the quality of the receiver is my next...
I went to visit my parents for the holidays, and while searching the old radio station building he had purchased, we found 2 Russco Cue Master turntables. They didn't have any arms attached, but the motors appeared to work and the platter spun when selecting a speed. I didn't have any tools to...
A few months ago I posted about me finding a couple SP-25's in an old radio station that my father had purchased. I traded one of them to hoodie for a Rega RB-330 that I equipped with an Ortofon 2M Red.
For months I had it mounted in the section of particle board countertop I found it in. With...

The shelf on bottom was designed to fit a receiver. I changed the design slightly, it will now be maple and cherry, have a solid 3.75" MDF plinth and is 2 inches wider.
Are isolation feet important for plinth construction? I am designing a cabinet right now, it will be quite heavy (over 40 lbs), and I haven't figured out what to use for feet that will fit the aesthetic. It is for a Technics SP-25 if that matters.
