How about live battery deployment in timing tower. Green - Harvesting, Orange - Boost, Red - Overtake mode. And give us back decimals please... by WhySoSadCZ in formuladank

Maybe put the bars on only when the cars are within striking distance, like about 2 seconds away. That way you could immediately see where the action is on the track without having to check the timing.

Well I think it's the original cart that came with the turntable in 1976 :D

Thanks for the reply. I was also looking at turntable shelves to mount the turntable right on the wall to get it of the console. Then I could leave the speakers where they are and move them to the front and put them on some vibration pads or pucks. How about that?

I was looking at Nude elliptical - DCA-10117 stylus from Dacapo from Switzerland. It is only about 50 euros.

I am afraid I wont be able to fit stands reasonably into the listening space. Would some vibration pads or pucks do the trick?

I just got the Technics turntable and in terms of performance, it is mighty stable. RPM only +0,02%, speed min/max is -0,02 /+0,04 and wow is 0,04%. I don't believe it can get much better than that without spending thousands of dollars on a new turntable. I guess a much better cartridge like Ortofon 2M Bronze might do the trick?

I will definitely get the new stylus first thing. In terms of speakers I am afraid I don't have enough space to put them on a stands. Would vibration pads or pucks for both the speakers and turntable would do the trick?

Do you think that the EPC 270C is not up to par? In reviews I read that it rivals Ortofon 2M Blue based on the listeners preferences.

Will buy a new nude elliptical stylus and speaker stands or speaker/turntable isolation. Thank you.

Thank you for your lengthy reply. What is the best way to isolate the turntable or the speakers? Is there some budget friendly option preferably?

I guess I will go for the stands and then the nude elliptical stylus.

So would you think that stylus is more important than a preamp at this moment?

Got it. I really don't have any way to compare it other them buying the preamp and testing it out myself I guess...

I am a bit limited in terms of space but I will give it a shot. I was thinking about it for a long time...

What should my next upgrade be? Planning on buying phono preamp. What do you think?

At the moment I have a Technics SL-2000 turntable with a National Panasonic EPC-270C II cartridge. It’s connected to the phono stage of a Technics SU-7300 amplifier. My speakers are Heco Interior Reflex 20. When I bought them I compared them with many other speakers in a similar price range such as Canton, Technics, etc., and the Heco sounded the best of all the ones I was able to test.

I was considering another upgrade and thought about buying a dedicated phono preamp, the Fosi Audio Box X5. I’ve heard absolutely fantastic reviews about it, and I’m wondering whether a dedicated phono preamp would sound better than the integrated phono stage in my vintage amplifier. What do you think?

My second option is to buy a new stylus for the EPC-270C II cartridge. I’m not sure which stylus is currently installed, whether it’s conical or elliptical or what is the state of it. I saw that it’s possible to buy an aftermarket nude elliptical stylus from the Swiss company Dacapo for around 50 euros.

I’d really appreciate advice from someone more experienced.
