    Yesterday l put an Audiofile Base under the 1200 with the Vantage Audio Feet and this added audibly a good lift in Sound Quality- l could not do this with the Isonoes as the Audiofile Base was too small, this combo looks quite cool,more music very detailed and musical

    'Those crazy...' was more a play on happy dancin' feet, rather than the very sedate look of the vantage feet. The do make a very positive improvement mind!

    Further musings on the VA feet................ the top of the feet are metal and so are the threads on the Techie, so l had a brainwave and put a plastic washer on the threads of the VA for a bit of damping and also minimising contact area and also cutting down on the metal to metal contact point, this provided a very worthwhile improvement in all areas of the decks performance, noticebly surface noise taken down a notch and the music was louder if you like, the Techie has never sounded so good... not bad for a free tweak and if you do not like easily reverseable

    Hi Ken,

    Did you get a chance to check the size of the threads in those mini parts?
    Would it fit SL-1210 own feet nuts?

    Those mini parts are quite reasonably priced, a bit over £5 - so it'd be a nice DIY invest.
    And it wouldn't be too big of a process to chance the feet nuts in SL-1210 bottom chassis.
    Regards, Joni.
