Thanks, Chris. Think the DL160 probably one of the best match with the Technics stock arm. Tried the budget but well received AT440MLA, not even close in comparison...

On another note, finally gotten the Isonoe feet and sorbothane feet...unfortunately they did not work for my system...lost dynamics and bass compared to the footers I was using...the TAOC tite 25MF insulators are so much better, at least in my system.

Wow! How are they better?

Did the concerns regarding how a heavy platter MIGHT affect the electronics doing the speed controlling such they don't work as well as expected due to the extra weight? I'm about ready to buy the MN base plate, bearing and platter.

No concerns here, pitch stability is excellent. The only adjustment required is to the braking potentiometer to bring the platter to a rapid stop.

+1 with that problem a slilght tweak with break potentiometer was needed on my deck as well but apart from that I was pretty easy going!

+1. Worry not, Jeff. What may appear to be a problem in theory, turns out to be a non-issue in practice, so order away and enjoy! :cool:
