Yamaha GT-2000

My concern with the lead sinkers is that the platter will no longer be perfectly balanced.

I'd say you have that puppy well isolated! :yes:

Mark,
It's certain that it would compromise the balance,however it was done on a whim(just one of those thoughts which occur to a warped mind like mine ),and can be easily reversed.

I know that this must sound strange(though nothing coming from me would surprise many people now....)I would like to try hoisting the Magix/GT 2000 isolation set-up which you see in timofred's photos,atop the diy rollerball contraption that I used to use beneath the PX-2/SAP Relaxa 3 +.

There is something about the sound of mag-lev plus rollerballs which is mightily impressive.Though I'm sure that you don't doubt me when I say that it is pretty impressive already.

The Orsonic headshell was another profound improvement.
I am continually surprised when acessories which I am expecting to merely make a slight improvement,then proceed to punch way above expectations.:scratch2:

Analogue provides umpteen opportunities to tease-out more and more from the vinyl groove.The 'spirit of adventure' rules here. :thmbsp:

Hello everybody, I am looking for some input on a new mat for my GT 2000. I am considering the funk firm Achromatic. Does anybody have experience with this mat on a 2000? Also interested to know whether the 3 mm or 5 mm is more suitable. I appreciate your input!

NCB, I've never heard the Achromatic. So I cannot offer an opinion. Have you tried emailing Funk Firm and detailing what type of turntable you use, ask them their opinion?

PS. You would get a lot more GT 2000 owners viewing your question at the Social Group thread.
