Hi Costerdock,Originally Posted by costerdock
I have a fully modded (except arm and platter - as I'm happy with them) M5G and it does very well compared with my VPI Classic - at this point I can now change between carts etc and have some nice comparisons. I'm extremely happy having two such different tables (light platter/heavy platter, long arm/short arm, belt, direct,....) I wish I could have them side by side - but I just do not have the room.
In short - the Technics is capable of greatness.
Far be it for me to criticise anyones physical room layout.
But can I say that putting your valve amp. on top of your speaker is a most unwise thing to do.
Valves are notoriously microphonic and will pick up LF vibrations though both the electrode plates and the heaters, (particularly the heaters) No amount of damping (which you may be using) between the amp. chassis and the speaker top will totally isolate the amp from feedback.
