When I spoke to MFremer about my headaches with vinyl playback he knew one of the culprits were the mini-HRX feet on my Aries 3. I can now listen as loud as I want with no feedback/rumble nightmares. It was by no means a cheap fix.

Kevin....thanks. I really miss Dan, I think of him often and wish he could be here to see my progress of late. I remember you mentioning once before that you had feedback issues with your Aries 3. I've had no issues whatsoever in this respect with my Prime Signature-it does sit atop a pretty massive structure and a very solid platform on top of that. There are no issues, though one thing I have noted is that it doesn't tolerate tapping on the plinth or bumping it-though this never happens in normal use. Floating suspension turntables tend to do better in this respect. The feet on my Prime Signature are quite large-I've noticed that the updated new Signature 21 model actually has smaller feet. I'm not sure what to make of that, but at the end of the day I have zero feedback issues with this table. I can raise the roof playing vinyl with no ill effects at all. And of course it is a joy to look at when not in use.
