That's only $300 total.I'm not convinced that the power supply is worth it as the thing is so damned speed stable out of the box.

I would also dampen the platter and use a better mat.Felt has not worked well for me on my Linn, my Thorens, or my Kenwood tables. I am using a Platter Matter Mat right now and it is very neutral with great overall balance.
Silicone dampening made a huge difference on my SME arms and Kenwood table and I bet it will deepen and better define the bass on the 103R cartridge as well.
Cheers!
Look what we DD afficianados are doing to these bd guys. They never knew they had such PRAT with just a simple switch.
although it would probably benefit from some additional material.The Technics "Super Mat" that KAB provides with their tables also damps it quite a bit more - it's a 1/4" thick rubber material and weighs well over a pound and is essential in order to get VTA correct with non-DJ carts.
Hi has anyone tried damping/wrapping the tone arm with PTFE tape or similar ? Does it work ?
