Well, it was on backorder for a bit......but it's here now. It's a Pro-Ject RM5-SE with Sumiko Blue Point No. 2. I think I set it up correctly, but I'm really not sure. So far it sounds great. All the interconnects still need to burn in, so I'm saving my review for the end of the next week. I'm also I can get mhardy out here one day to take a look over it for me, and maybe give a few pointers.

Great TT. Hope you enjoy it.
BTW.....Where is everyone getting the ISOL-PADS? I have a set that came with my SQ-88, and I know I could get more from Quest for Sound, but as much as I'm seeing them anymore I'm assuming someone has found a place to buy them in bulk.HT

I'm probably going to do what ricardo did and pick up a vinyl bag that it used to cover printers.

Very nice, Mark. What type of platter did it end up being?
Also, did you try it sitting on the stock feet vs the Isoblocks? I found mine sounded best using the Isoblocks on my current shelf, but think it sounded better when I spiked it to my last shelf. Just curious.Wristwatch--->Crisco -
Maybe this thread is better for posting nice TT's:

The weight wasn't on in the picture, it's there now. I still don't think I set this up the best way possible, but I guess it will work for now. I don't have a clue in the world how to properly set these up and just read to the directions and did what made sense..... -
Mark, spend $30 on this (I'm sure you can find it cheaper):

Thanks Ricardo, I'll have to look into it.
I have a feeling it will be like watching it in spanish though.
