Headphoneus Supremus
Added a custom isolation stand that I had made by a local woodworker. Reclaimed Western Red Cedar.
Wow! Was going through your gear!!I have a few more...but I'll post these up for now. I LOVE vinyl....
Do you record with RX?God, I love the Prime Sig. Gorgeous. My own setup is more humble and far more piecemeal (Scout Jr, damped motor pod, Michell clamp, Achromat, Audiomods Classic tonearm, Phoenix Engineering Falcon motor controller, DIY tachometer).
I also recently added a new component for my analog-to-digital archival: The RME Babyface Pro. Recordings are on a whole new level from my previous ADC, and the RME actually even works quite well as a DAC and headphone amp for the notoriously picky Denon AH-D2000!
Nope, just use it for edits. I record with Adobe Audition.Do you record with RX?
Nice! A GTA! We both get it : ) Cool suspension plus even more isolation, you clearly have that part down! It's too bad they cost so much (but stuff like these and cables typically sell for at least 25% off) but Nordost Sort Kones work really well at dissipating the internal vibration made by any component with moving parts. Biggest benefit brought by the BC I used was soundstage height grew by a couple feet. It's a very noticeable improvement. I can also attest to upgrading to Symmetrex arm (not full LTD tonearm) on my Amedeus MK1 and the Auditoirum A23 mat. Symmetrex arm gives you improvements in bass response and image focus. A23 mat can suck a little bit of air out of the treble extremes but provides a more solid foundation for bass notes to emerge from. Better suited to rocking type stuff than stock mat.Man, stumbled onto Turntable paradise here! Some absolutely awesome tables and rigs for that matter, keep on spinning as nothing beats a precision analog setup for playback IMO
Cool setup! If you ever have to rearrange the turntable setup, I would strongly recommend ditching the cork & rubber feet in favor of something like Herbie's Tenderfeet. I had a Mapleshade platform briefly on feet like that, and not only did they stain the hell out of the maple, but the also didn't sound very good. Good for isolation from footfalls, but awful for resonance tuning. Grungebuster dots are much more synergistic. It might not be quite as noticeable with all of the different isolation you have going on with that setup, so don't take the whole setup apart just for that, but if you have to do so for any other reason, swap out those platform feet while you're at it!Oh yeah, meant to post what this table feeds into. Not quite to total class "A" but reaching

Oh yeah, that style of wall rack will likely benefit a lot from some further careful isolation (those metal brackets probably ring like a bell). Some regular Herbie's grungebuster washers between the bracket and wall where the bolts go into the wall MIGHT be enough to do the trick. Otherwise replace that bracket with something beefier that won't ring (tap any of that metal with a finger nail, and if it's not a dull thunk, it's a problem).Thank you @Packgrog , should I take this down I'll give these options some consideration. I was surprised at how well my secondary rig/table fared with a wall mount, I'm for sure going to try some more vibration isolation with the P-1 setup here
