suspension

Hi hello! I recently replaced some foam in my turntable and discovered a stripped internal thread in reassembly. The other three screws tighten completely and hold suspension on the spring, but the fourth screw's spring spins once "fully" screwed in and doesn't hold the motor assembly high...

I was wondering if anyone has ideas and/or experience in firming up the suspension on the CP-1057F. I have two of these, replaced the dried out gear, and the turntables both work well except the suspension is so soft that I have to tip-toe around the turntables when playing a record. I've...

Hi, I have posted a long thread recently about my quest to eliminate acoustic feedback between my new subwoofer and Empire 598: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/vibration-analysis-bl404-rack-empire-598-turntable.975735/#post-15167454 I am happy to announce that I finally found...

Hello! I'm very new here and new to record players in general. I picked up an Elac Miracord 50H in pretty great working condition! However I do have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answer to. 1. Everyone seems to rave about the suspension table. However, with mine, when I walk by...

Here, I have conducted a series of experiments using an iPhone App called 'Vibration Analysis'. Here is the pic of setup and vibration spectrum graphs observed at the floor, 3rd shelf, top shelf loaded and unloaded, and adding another same MDF shelf on top, making a sandwich with two layers of...

Hi, I am a happy owner of Empire 598. Last week I also became happy owner of Rythmik F-12GSE sub. That thing is fantastic and has real infrasonic capability! Which, unfortunately, leads to feedback issues on lower volumes than I used to have with Paradigm sub (where I could cut low end with...

Hope you're all doing well. I just moved into an apartment with extremely bouncy wood floors and it's wreaking havoc on my suspension turntable. I already know that mounting it to the wall will fix the problem, but I'm not crazy about how that would look. Could really heavy duty feet on my rack...

Long time lurker, first time poster. Some of you might know this vintage AT cartridge series, a great MM design with a beryllium cantilever and super tiny shibata that's rare as hen's teeth. Imagine my dismay when, during an attempt to correct what looked like a slightly off-center rotation of...

I have an opportunity to buy a pair of Advent U3 speakers in good condition with a re foam. I love my Nova 7b's. In fact i really enjoy all my realistic nova and optimus speakers i have. I favour my 7b's and optimus 5b's. I like that they are air suspension speakers and sound amazing in my...

Hello to everyone, My names Craig (Australia) and this is my first post on AK, please let me know if I get anything wrong on this forum and I hope I'm posting in the right location. Only because of the much reading (past posts from the wonderful AK team) I have done on this forum did I...

I picked some Epi M202's the other day. I know with Epi 100's and other suspension speakers, they NEEED to be tightened up and all seals need to be intact. Epi's are easier than AR' I think because those need actual sealant to be brought up to spec. The Epi's foam or rubber just need to be...
