    Glass can be a bad surface with some bits of gear Ben... I had stuff on it and some worked well and some didnt... Stuff that didnt, like very good isolation from it. Experimentation is best way to find out. See if you can get some different feet on sale or return or if any of the guys here can lend you some to try..it is surprising how different materials work with glass

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I did some recordings not too long ago from a Techy with three different sets of "feet". I also used a Quadraspire rack with frosted glass shelving. In my setup i personally preferred RDC - cones followed by original feet and lastly FF Bo!ng. Cagey's opinion differs!

    I think the results are very dependent upon what kind of rack/shelving you have!

    So in the interests of a bit of personal experimentation I've bought the following to try.

    1. A reso-mat platter matt.
    2. 4 inexpensive sorbothane pods (to sit under the standard feet).

    I must admit the reso matt thing was not exactly what I was expecting (it's a thin sheet with raised bumps that sits on the existing platter). On top of this I've sat a cork mat as well as a final record "interface".

    I guess my main gripe with the deck as standard is that it sounds a bit muddy sounding, now with both the reso mat and sorbothane pods there's a deffinate improvement in that respect, there's a but more clarity and texture to everything, not amazing amounts but still it's there.

    I'm still using the stanton cart it came with but in the near future as funds allow this will be replaced with an at150 so that should then provide a real lift in performance.

    Edit - I've just noticed I should really have the cork mat below the resort mat. Will give me something to try tomorrow at leadt☺
