I mean until I snap my spindle and have to ask for a new one... lol

It definitely caused some minor wear to the spindle but this is not my forever table so ... meh.

Too heavy

Its a 1lb weight just like the U-Turn, is it not?

1lb is 454g so that’s 50g too heavy.

What the stout said. I mean I use a damn clamp so why not 50g?

There was a thread on weights the other day in the u-turn group on Facebook.... they think weights look cool and that’s why people use them. There are times it is real hard not to be a dick.

Maybe it’s a good thing they never took their training wheels off. I always wanted them to come out with an upscale model. If they don’t understand record weights, maybe they need to stay put.

....I have to ask, do we think that extra 50g / 0.11lbs cause a problem?

Not so much but it’s also not 1lb

They LOVE WEIGHTS in there. Hahaha. And LED lights too. It’s a bit more for the pic they post to social media than it is what they’re listening to, or that’s the conclusion I’ve come to, anyway!

I mean yeah and it’s an entry level table but the amount of the belt design sucks posts are insane.

The perks of having a local A/V dealer as a friend and benefiting from his family and friends discounts never ends...just purchased a pair of Audioquest Rocket 11 speaker cables at 25% off the retail price.
