Excellent system Richard and great pictures...just finished reading this thread and enjoyed it immensely .I had some problems with glass shelves myself when I had the mf1000, and used sorbothane feet which changed the sound completely for the better.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Sorry I've been a bit of a pillock here - you guys saying 'glass shelves?' etc and I use the turntable on an Audiotech table in the main room.
Then I realised of course that the photos were taken on the spare (redundant) Equinox shelf in our music room but yes, I'm of the opinion that glass shelves aren't in many cases a turntable's friend.

Ah yes, I just presumed that the T/T was used on the shelves it was pictured with... In that case, try some Sorbothane feet. I'm sure that there are benefits to be had by doing that

Only kidding!Looking forward to its Scalford debut.

The good thing about Isonoes is that they apparently lighten the sound by getting rid of the heavy/slow/leaden bass boom caused by excessive mechanical feedback. I say apparently, because the outcome is far better definition in the bass.

I couldn't as our server upgrades were a pain and we had to get the Smoothwall people in to diagnose a problem that they had created. All in all a stressful day and all ideas of getting to Bristol went out the window
