Toga 's 2015 update

[analog brother]

hi toga,

your system looks magnificent!
with the cms racks and amp stands, do the gear just sit on the shelves?
or is there anything between gear and shelf?
are any isolation products, like stillpoints, recommended? or all of that is addressed in the shelving?

This is one great looking system ! You must be so excited to have it all setup now.

Thank you.
CMS provided thin metal discs to put under gear's feet. And stressed in the manual that these disc must be used. That is all I do.

Hi, Gorges. Thank you. Unfortunately Tw is out of service now. I am waiting for new platter. So at the moment, Accuphase digital player is serving alone. Expect to get the platter back in a month or two.

Toga.

You must be one of the few on AA to RTFM! Must be all that pilot training.

@John49, in the manual, it repeats times after times that the metal disc must be used. and do you know that 300 hours is the official time that CMS will provide maximum benefit after you put the weight down.! That is what in the manual. I tried to avoid to write about TW mishap. I don't want the company to contact me again, it happened to me twice. Right here in AA. But once the box is open I take good shots of all parts before we started to assemble. I found two clear marks or scratches on top of that shiny copper platter. For the price I paid for Black Night, this should be taken care of, although it will be hidden under platter rubber mat later on. And yes dealer agreed to replace it for me. Later on, after carefully look at those marks, we found out that they were not scratches, but some hair from carpet or brush fell on to the coating before it cured or dried and stayed like fossil on top of the platter.

So the Quality Control person had an off-day. Sorry it was your platter that he missed. Good luck with the replacement, it's a great turntable.
