Yes indeed! he base of the Foculpods are a tad to big to sit nicely in the round moulding for the orinigal feet - not good for deck leveling . Next best thing was upside down.Originally Posted by Peter Stockwell

At last the AT 33PTG arrived
There I was getting resigned to not have it for the Easter break and Parcel Force letter arrives. Please pay up the to Customs and Rev... Good job I took the day off to do stuff
Boogie on down to the depot and pic it up.
First the box all the way from the land of the rising sun. Should be happy with the SL-1210 and the Dynavector P75 then...
The mounting in the box is functional and not over bling - hate it when too much money goes on the box etc unless it's for presentation / looking at. This baby is for listening to.
Ok mount her up - Balance, VTA etc etc. Quite a bit lighter than the Sumiko that is 9g - this is 6.7g.
Bolts are gold coloured to match the rest. Either too long or two short though.
Set the P75 phono amp to Phono enhancer/current amp mode. I've read all about how this setting really sings and how the 33PTG is very compatible with this.
Here's how she looks.
Only on the third side as I write this and sounding great. Just the sort of balance, powerful, deep, authoritative, detailed blah blah blah sound I wanted.
What will it be like once run in?
Oh yeah and there's enough gain for me too.
Great vinyl Easter weekend ahead.

I set it to the recommended 1.8g - have you a recommendation?
It really is a good sound. All round but for instance I noticed the bass transients have very good attack and stop on the dot when they should - I like a nice bit of bass.
When I think how my earlier systems just muddled it up and it was something there clomping about without sounding like an instrument really - This was pre valve, hopeless small drivers in narrow towers, pre TVC, pre Ubyte-2 cable, pre DPA dac and of course pre Technics SL-1210 and latest addition 33PTG.
The best bit is the system of old cost more than this system. Looked more bling and WAF but it's all about the sound...
Time to squeeze in some Stax listening...
