What to do with a TT2?

[AlfaGTV]

Wow Guy, thats adding quite some heft to the suspended parts. But if it balances out nicely, why not?
The other material I would like to try is a thin cork mat (or thin cork contact spots), besides the standard wool mat.

And regarding the Valhalla, there is another reason for mounting it in an external enclosure, i can go back to original spec without disrupting anything.
Not sure why but without the Valhalla the old TT2 exhibited a notable hum when connected. This disappeared and the background is quite "black".

I'll get some pics taken when mounting the Valhalla properly. The board is on an ESD foam with the motor leads pulled out of the plint on the back left corner. Actually a very simple operation, unsoldered the motor leads from the original PCB, unmounted PCB and original cabling along with the back plate.
Attached 230V AC-leads to the Valhalla, attached the motor leads... Done!

You can get cork spots from B&Q and I will be making some more cork mats is a couple of weeks.
