Jason - That's a great system and setup......question.....how do you like the Symposium base for your turntable? I was thinking of getting one and have read some good feedback on the Symposium products. Unfortunately I'd have to get one customized a little to fit the depth of my rack which adds some to the price. What kind of improvements did you notice with it?

thank you everyone for the kind comments. i have wanted to post new pictures for some time now.

@ Marc, my Sophia 3 spikes have been replaced by Stillpoints Ultra SS vibration control devices along with Ultra Bases. They are bolted directly into the bottom of the speakers. A must audition. There are many accounts out there in the internet regarding Wilson speakers and Stillpoints. No one's wallet survives the in-home audition


@audioguy, I have used Symposium products for years now, only recently switching over to Stillpoints. The Ultra shelf has resided under my Scoutmaster for years also. I have not tested my TT with and without this shelf in many years but I believe it necessary to isolate TT as best as you can and certainly this platform helps in that regard. I can say that in my experience, i had greater gains when i "floated" turntable on the Ultra shelf. I now have (4) Sym Fat Padz/Rollerblock Jr HDSE coupling the bottom of the plinth to the Ultra shelf (lifts the metal cones off the shelf) along with lifting the outboard motor off the shelf with Svelte Pads (thereby bypassing the rubber feet on the bottom of motor). These floats (with Ultra shelf) have had a greater impact on my vinyl playback versus just the shelf alone. In a perfect world, i would place as many Stillpoints ULtra 5's under my turntable as feasible/affordable .... future upgrade.

Looks like hours of enjoyment!

What diffusers are you using at your first reflection point?

Not alone. Doesn't work on my iPhone app either. I am a novice at uploading photos. Not sure why. Looks good when you use a internet browser.
