I like using three spikes or feet. One centrally at the back and two at the front. At least that way, you know it's not going to rock.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

That's interesting, as things stand I think the armboard is level to a reasonable degree- but not perfect. I do notice that turntables made by the likes of rega and michell do not appear to come with adjustable feet fitted, I assumed this was because they would expect the folk buying them place them on a perfect level. I do notice that vpi turntables have spikes fitted. I'm learning that the suspension springs of thorens are of central importance. Thanks for the advice!

I haven't opened it up to see what's inside, but the bounce doesn't seem that bouncy now you mention it. I'm not confident enough in technical matters to start taking it apart, I would worry I was making a complete hack job of it. It was bought on ebay replinthed a year ago, might ask a local professional to have a wee look at it, not keen to pay through the nose to someone who doesn't really know what they are talking about however.
