Of course functionality is by far the most important factor. It's just sitting next to that beautiful arm they look kind of nasty :eyebrows:

Dome cap nuts it is, then, just as soon as I can find some :)
Oh, I've just spotted your link. Magic! I'll get some. Just for you, Mark...

While the arm plate was off the deck I noticed that the captive nuts fitted by Dave Cawley were very slightly proud of the well recess. This means that the plate was bolted up against the three nuts rather than the entire flat surface of the recess. Today I took the opportunity to remove the plate and drill some countersunk bevels on the underside of the plate mounting holes, to ensure that the plate flange is a snug fit against the recess. Using my hand-cut gaskets, I tightened it all up, reset the arm and had another listen.
Sibilance is definitely further reduced and overall dynamics increased. Nice!
Meanwhile, I'm ordering a custom ebony armboard from Speedy Steve, similar to the one he made for Marco here: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...ighlight=Ebony
Gotta be careful about having one's deck worked on by experts... ;)
A-n-y-w-a-y Might there be recent pics of your lovely deck??? :)
Quick with the porn... I like that. :eyebrows:
I recall mention of a slight gap with the base plate and MN platter. I know the base plate is still installed, yet there seems to be no gap with the FF platter. Am I right, or is that an illusion?
