Happy to hear your excited with the addition of the Stillpoints, enjoy the sound!!!
I don’t know if anyone outside Audio knows the amount of work, time and patience it takes in this hobby, seems like installing 4 feet over an inch tall should only take 20, maybe 30 minutes - NOT!

You can say that again Ed.

Yep maybe painstaking but there is a reward at the end.

Awfully glad they are in place now – move onto other things needing addressing – but enjoy the music as I trudge along.

Thank you Sir -- What’s stressful is constantly telling oneself to take a break now and then, relax, think things over – I always fear of carrying my TT & motor on the shelf to a place on the couch & tripping or stumbling or getting caught on a cord or some dumb mishap. I do lock the tonearm in place with some twist ties.
Same with moving equipment to the kitchen island for placing & cleaning; rather getting on ones knees on the carpet, etc. Haste makes waste they say – slow down and think a couple times before doing something & try to address & resolve anything that could cause an unfortunate disaster.
Best Sirs,
Bob
