Marc, how did you find setting up the turntable adjustments with the rig 13" off the floor, or did you set it up on a table and then move it? My friend has his SP10 III close to the floor and he can't see and bend well enough to clean the stylus, so he is planning a change.

Indeed we did set it up, move it, and then level the Stacore. I have few issues kneeling down to clean stylus, adjust speed, VTF and VTA.
About to order a custom extended top plate for my Stacore Advanced.
As is currently configured, I have to situate my Straingauge energiser box directly adjacent to my tt, which means only 2/3 of the tt is directly over the integral air bladders.
A wider top plate will enable me to properly centre the tt over the bladders while still allowing me to keep the energiser box next to the tt.

Hahaha! This test was fun - the rack turned out to be solid stable under the load and i even managed to predict its fundamental frequency.
The paint is now setting Tang so a bit more patience please
Cheers,
Edit: The total load on top was 265+120=385kg...+100kg platform and a slate CLD shelf below

What’s Tang going to have on this thing, a whole gaggle of dancing girls?
If so, I want an invite!

Ha!-careful what you wish for Marc-- the Dancing "Girls" in Thailand are sometimes not what they seem
!BruceD
Yes, but Tang is down on the farm sorting his fertiliser supplies. You only find real women down there .
Soon to order my third and fourth Stacore Advanced platforms.
I’m going to try these in four situations to ascertain maximum benefit
1- under preamp and cdp
2- under SETs monos
3- under tt motor psu & Straingauge energiser psu
4- under Zus

The idea to try them under Zus is the one that may produce the most interesting albeit unpredictable results.
I’ve got excellent SQ w my Zus on Symposium Rollerblocks & Svelte Shelves replacing stock spikes.
So Stacore should take this improvement to an all together better level. Mass loading and pneumatics isolation to both the main spkrs and integral sub amps & Lundahl transformers.
Most interesting will be the end result of raising the Zus 4-5” higher, which will effectively bring the Radian supertweeters up to ears level. That will certainly bring a higher energy presentation to the fore w the frequencies above 12kHz being more directly radiated twds my ears, together with likely benefits from SOTA isolation.

Tang, from the man who is certifiably insane with AS, Kronos, AF and EMT tts, I’ll take that as a massive compliment .
I am thinking about Stacore but one thing makes me worry about my setup and this setup is the weight that the floor has to endure if put over 4-5 stacore. I am see almost a ton over such a small space. In my apartment it will be over 1.2 ton in slightly bigger space.
Dear Hieukm,
Thank you for considering us! 1 platform = 100kg = 1 adult male (roughly). Imagine you throw a home party and 4-5 big boys come simultaneously to watch your toys. If your floor starts making noises, I'd run away from such an apartment saving your life! I'd be glad to help with assessing load per m2 and ceiling load capability shall you need it.
Cheers,
You win a set of our footers (when we finally make them
Cheers,
No need footers. Just send me a big sign “Protected by Stacore” to put on the wall of my room. The vibration karma will never enter my room.
Bests,
Tang
