Great to here that i still have not called the store to ask what they found out was wrong because it would only be BS coming from them IMHO and i wouldn't believe them anyway
But i do want to know what was wrong with it

Hello to all again

i have had some time now to play my LP's and i am glad about that

playing my system loud seams like there is some kind of feed back with the lid on and down covering the LP
does anyone think thats OK ?

You may be getting vibrations. Its always best to take it off.

Ditto! The lid is supposed to be just a dust cover when the TT is not in use.

Thanks i have always heard that taking the dust cover off of the TT was best
it does seam like it's worst while playing my DBX LP recordings

i will do as you say

Thanks

If the lids adds feedback, then take it off. No harm done. In my setup, I have no feedback whatsoever whether the lid is up or down so I close my lid while listening to music. I got lucky I guess.

Thanks to all that did reply
What would someone do if they wanted to do an upgrade
1. a new Matt
2. Cables
3. record clamp
4. 2m Blue stylus

Thanks

I wouldn't clamp a record to a turntable that might have audible vibration. I tried clamping records on my MMF-5 a few years ago. It made a very slight improvement, but wasn't worth the trouble to me. I don't stop the platter between records.

Cables are easy on a Carbon, and don't have to be expensive. Just make sure you're careful about the capacitance of the cables you choose. Some cartridges can be sensitive to it.

A non-ferrous platter would allow you to try moving-coil cartridges. I put an aluminum platter from an Xpression on my wife's Debut III, and upgraded to a Dynavector 10x4 MKII that I had retipped. I also added a Rega mat, which was a little bit thicker.

I could see how an acrylic platter could be an upgrade to some people's ears. I would be a little concerned about the reduced mass as compared to the metal ones, but it might be worth considering.
