    I drilled my head block because the threads were a bit worn.

    The arm bearings are normally fine and best left alone unless you suspect a problem.

    Do not overtighten the screw on top of the arm clamp. The alloy (white metal) housing can crack. It just has to grip the tube, that's all.

    You may need to add a small amount of mass at the head block with the Troika. As I did with my ZYX.

    Thanks for the good advice Geoff, I'll keep in mind to be careful at those specific places.

    Your picture is a nice hide-and-seek-playground for vinyl nerds !

    Is that a Kenny TA ceramic platter mat I see on the left ?!

    Then a very nice Toshiba and the Zyx Yatra, the best cart I had, ever..
    Does this go well with the Mission,,,would you prefer it to a Troika there ?
    The Zyx needed some weigth applied when I used mine, too...the blue tac is a great idea.

    No, the mat is a fake suede covered rubber item.


    The Yatra sounded amazing on the 774.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Mike did have them. He'd be your best bet now.
    Very nice of you to look this up for me, I just sent him an email,
    we'll see what he comes up with...I'll let you know.

    @Geoff: yes, I'll stick with the original part as long as any possible,,,I admit I'm not keen on soldering this,,,

    Bingo !!! Exactly like this !
    VERY nice system..absolutely stunning in fact.

    (the mat must have some similarities to some window-cleaner artificial leather DIY mat trick that's supposed to be quite good in some cases, then. also nice.

    Yes. Oliver has the same turntable as me. So do one or two others here. Damn fine combination!

    Oh. And the ZYX's sound great with it (as does the Goldring Eroica LX, which is a combination you'd not normally think of).

    Besides that's not hifi anymore. That's ART!! A double offtopic, quasi.

    And the red mat...is...what ?
    Looks phantastic, if it works on the Logic I shall steal the idea to recover a tiny bit of ground.

    Thanks you and yes, I don't need an excuse to post pictures lol,

    The mat is suede which performs better than the acromat I had and the stock rubber mat.

    I'm sure you're TT will have just as much beauty.

    The colour scheme was an accident but I love it.
