Ahem, no money left to visit the circus, and very little for bread, if you buy the Dalby.

Well... I listened to the older model D7 Dalby record weight on my Micro Seiki turntable. It's a 3.5 pound beast . It does some things a little better than my 1.5 Lbs. Stillpoints LP 1 record weight. Too bad the Dalby weight is 2.80 mm larger in diameter than the Stillpoints . Tonearm can crash against the outside at the end of the record grooves on some records. The Titanium Dalby weight outside diameter was even larger yet. I value my cartridge too much. I ended stacking 2 Stillpoints LP 1 on top of each other. It bettered the Dalby.

The dalby was substantially better than the still points, my friend who owned the SP bought the dalby after many compares. Didn't try with two SP, but did you try loosening the base? You can screw and unscrew it to adjust the Dalby as required.

Also we tried a different Dalby that didn't work at all. Each one is different

Does your MS have vacuum? It does not make much difference if the table has a vacuum and works negatively with suspension
