    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

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

    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.

    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.
