Post A Photograph Of Your Turntable

Well I finally got the RP8 (Hana E) up and running in secondary rig, sounds very sweet but IMHO it does not hold a candle to my Amadeus even with the Hana:astonished: To be fair it's not on the same level gear either so I may switch it out with the Amadeus and see what I think. A lot to be said for equipment up/down stream as well as plain old synergy:wink: If your wondering that is an Acetal Platter from Fidelity Designs ltd. (UK), basically the same material elements as the Delrin which I always wanted for this Rega. Since the Acetal was cheaper I thought I'd give it a go.

My VPI Classic Signature in the piano black color with an Ortofon 2m Black cartridge. I also sprung for the periphery ring which works wonders. I purchased it all about 5 months now and couldn’t be happier. Until I hit the Lotto this is as much turntable as I’ll ever need. I might upgrade the cartridge to a MC at some point though.

3” x 3” Isoblocks, you can get them from the supply store. I’ll post a link for you tomorrow as I’m tied up right now!

Great, @Redcarmoose is also correct however I’m not sure those Rega feet work on the RP8 so I’ll investigate. You can’t beat the Supply House prices on the Isoblocks:wink:

Oh wow. Looks very cool but I’m not familiar with it. I’ll have to do some research and learn more.
