here's my table, the very last remnant of my original first Hi-Fi system that was handed down to me from my ex-father...



a british made BSR 200BAX from the mid/late 70s. i have done most everything i know how to do to improve it; a new belt, a total relube, replacement of the flimsy lamp cord power cord with a thick, shielded power cable with three ferrite beads slipped around it, a major upgrade of the stereo RCAs, and a set of large peg feet screwed to freshly keyed holes on the bottom. as a result, i've managed to wrest solid performance out of this thing, with blacker than black backgrounds. i could live with it just fine, since i rarely use a TT, but i nevertheless am rather shooting for the moon with the choice PIONEER table i want:
