Gerwyn's comments:
"This is my first suspended sub chassis turntable.
A friend came round who is a professional musician and music teacher.
He was so impressed with the sound that he’s bought a vintage Thorens turntable himself!
I use an Ortofon OM10 cartridge.
I have dampened the sub chassis with bitumen pads, and also put a better (18mm thick) base.
I also changed the platter mat to cork.
It now sounds wonderful."
