so I heard back from Mr. Schick today. He advised me to tighten the bolts to eliminate the movement....did it, done...all tight now.

ok so I took a short video....light pressure on the arm wand produces slight movement at the pivot...not sure if this is right...

Question for Schick users out there... I recently took delivery of a 12" schick arm... I have noticed that there is a fair amount of play in the bearings and this bothers me. For no other reason that I am neurotic! I did ask Thomas about this and he says it's normal. Just wondering what...

maybe you have some room issues? Feedback? I have been fighting brightness with my system for some time and it all came down to room flections and sound absorption. I have had feedback issues in the past with turntables and moving the table and or dealing with what the table was sitting on...

I have absolutely no problem with vibration and the slate plinth, Quite the opposite actually. But my floor is concrete. I am guessing that if you go with a lighter plinth your problems will only be exacerbated. It sounds like you have a trampoline problem with that floor....I'd say try...

Thats pretty.....who did your overhauling?? I'm thinking of sending my grease bearing off somewhere..

I use null pints 66 mm and 120.89 and it sounds great

Thanks I'll keep that in mind when this one dies....

does the retip make it sound more like a "modern" MC? I really like the meaty full sound that it provides as it but a little more detail would be great..

awesome!!

A cartridge has a "mechanical" part to it. The suspension. This is what is "breaks in". Once the suspension loosens then the cartridge will be "broken in" Some cartridges will sound very different after this break in period, in my experience .

this is exactly what I did, and I did it by accident, but drilling the hole slightly undersized has allowed the mat to flatten out....there is also ZERO static here in my SUPER dry winter basement....
