RE: Help on TT upgrade

Congrats on the new table! Hope it provides you with much happiness.

I don't know about the damping of the plinth since that is something I never tried while I had a KD-650. You could try damping the platter a bit though as it does ring. A Funk Firm Achromat was a big improvement over the stock rubber mat, but as far as rubber mats go, it ain't to bad. The Herbies mat would also be a great choice.

I personally replaced the stock feet with heavy brass footers from edenSound. Sitting on a maple slab that rested on rubber/cork/rubber footers the 'table was immune to any acoustic feedback, and I had it placed about a foot away from one speaker.

One thing I never tried though that you might consider, is replacing the chipboard bottom plate with MDF or thick plywood.

Have fun and enjoy!
