Ariston RD40 Turntables

I can concur that the RB300 improves significantly with the removal of the rubber mounts for the counterweight - probably 90% of the OL mod can be done by making your own with a simple grub screw to hold it ridgidly in place ( also hold the armtube in a small vice so there is no load on the bearings and tighten up the steel stub end). As a former Thorens TD150 owner (not a million miles away in design terms) I found the following simpe mods useful;
replace the rubber mat with a felt LP12 mat and ridgidly couple the plinth to the TT stand to 'ground' the motor vibrations. I would also expect to see significant gains to be made from running the motor from transformer along the lines of the 'armageddon'(see my post earlier.)
