Do you use a matt on your Clearaudio Concept or do you go bareback? What about a clamp?

I used a Gingko with my P7, and felt there were some trade-offs. The shelf I used was on a wall with a refrigerator on the other side, and the Gingko did a good job of controlling the vibrations when the compressor went on. On the other hand, it always felt like the turntable was a moving target every time I put a record on or moved the tonearm. I also thought the table was more susceptible to movement from direct contact while on the Gingko, so, as Miner does, I left the dust cover up while playing. I also didn't try to play single tracks. I think the Gingko is good for solving problems with a poorly isolated shelf, but I wouldn't have put up with it if my shelf hadn't vibrated.

Not sure but I think I weighted it to be 19 lbs. I use 4 balls with the 14A platform. Attached is a photo of the solution I tried before the Gingko - with no success (P7 table pictured)

Hi,
My name is Louis and I am new on this forum. A few weeks ago, I've trade a Rega P5 with Exact for a new P9 with the Alpheta. After 30 hours of listening, I found the Alpheta very bright (agressive). My preamp phono is a C-J Premier 15 S2. Of course the output is low. I have tried a MC Step-Up transformer without any improvement (ok for the output but not for the quality of the sound). Always too bright. I think this cartridge is difficult to match. The dealer have ordered the Rega Ios to lend me for a try. I have two options: A- keep the Rega Ios (if very good) and sell the C-J; B- Change the cartridge I would like to know if someone have experience this dilemma? Thank you!
