You did a very good job as moderator, with good humor. Thanks.

Mr. Dernie , please do continue to provide lengthy engineering history lessons, and engineering physics lessons - the more and longer the better : ) . It is uncommon to find particularly authoritative and correct mechanical audio engineering information. It is nice to have someone capable on ASR...

Sorry - wasn't paying attention to the height issue. Given that - it looks like you may be able to maintain approx. the same height IF your built in looking mini stands are removable. If so, two 1/4" steel, 1/2" marble or other material, and springs look like they would still work from the...

Welcome. You entered with what I perceived as some bravado and expectations behind your questions particularly on your first few posts, and you were giving as well as taking throughout your string of posts. I hope you ride it out and stay. There are a number of scientific and industry experts...

Sorry, not answering your question - but as a precursor, for some without knowledge yet on the history - I believe notions of LOW feedback apparently came from Matti Otala in 1970. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5304/866f608e0059f2be525a84d021a92d95266c.pdf and...

+ 1. A number of years ago my brother and family arrived here, and my then 4 year old nephew entered the front door, turned the corner into the living room, and within 1-3 seconds pushed in both dome dust caps on my speaker's midranges then nonchalantly continued on to have a look around. The...

EDIT : these comments are from one of the designing engineers of the listed turntables. The following comment and discussion link* may be of interest to those with vintage Victor and Yamaha GT-2000 direct drive turntables if they haven't seen it already. there are 4 pages of comments re...

Words. More words. Too many words. Words as pseudo entities - words mistaken for things - words without context. Where is Wittgenstein - I'm at my limit I'm afraid. Have noticed it before. Sorry, but the 1st use of ignore for me.
