A suspended plinth might save a 'needle-bounce' or two on a side board type unit on plush underlayed carpet...

Love the Lollies but can't do the Tort. Enjoy!

Where is the TT to be sited? Wall/Shelf for a Solid Plinth like a Rega or Floor rest unit, where a suspended plinth might be a better choice - Lynn/System Deck. And the thing with a Vintage... it may of fallen out of favour some years before being sold... like my Rega Player 3 / ATF5 Stilton that has been in the loft for 18yrs, so factor in at least a motor and spindle bearing lube and a belt(s)

Ridin' on the L & N I like the Nine Below Zero version, live at the Marquee

Train Kept a Rollin' - lots... I had an old 'flexi disc' of Motorhead playing it...

Tonerider, Classic or the hotter Duke. Hard to beat at £35 and available with flat or stagered poles... Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage £58.

Behringer ADI21... got to worth a go. Budget Go-To for Bass.

Maybe have the driver out - baking soda overnight, then hoover out and put driver back ifcya think the smell has got in to any wadding.. Baking Soda in the box it was shipped in?

Baking Soda... absorbs moisture and odour

Pick up the bass a bit more often...

Cool. You've got something that feeds ya head. I get as far as the garden, up against the fence...
