Someone may have made a request on IG and received a positive response...

I wanted to share, because I hate when I pull the trigger, only to see an option I would have preferred become available a few weeks later.

This was what happened to me two months after buying a blue plinth, they came out with the new arm AND the hardwood walnut/maple options.

I noticed the signature updates as well...

What finish did you go with?

How do you like it?

So far so good. The quality and looks are top notch.

It came with a 2M Blue cartridge, which is a new cart to me. My general impression of the cart is that it pulls a lot of detail out, but leaves some weight/bass on the table. I'll likely switch in my Grado Opus3 shortly, to hear how that sounds.

Completely agree with that assessment of the 2M Blue. Very interested to hear Opus3 takeaways!

i dont know if buying the isofeet would be worth it for me.. i bought some vibrapods already but my turntable is still susceptible to skips if i accidentally move the table... i think it might be better to just wait until i get a new turntable

I think every table is susceptible to skips if you move it.

I have very bouncy floors, this is what it took to keep skips from happening:


There are four slabs of quartz counter top. Each of those has an Isoacoustics orea bronze on it and then a slab of butcherblock counter top.

The secret is to buy a turntable that can’t easily be moved. Only $104k.



Seriously though- it’s nice to see UTurn offer their accessories at fair prices.

i don't think i've ever been able to keep the belt/band that low on my platter since i took the table out of the box

That’s a 45, so it’s lower on the assembly, rides higher on a 33

I just installed a set of the iso level feet. I can finally walk around without the record skipping!

Well, within reason, apparently. I still can’t do jumping jacks or a brisk walk in the room, but it’s still an improvement.

My crazy contraption has solved all but jumping jacks… seemingly.

I must say that the new NAD looks right at home in your setup. Kudos!
