beautiful picture (rendering of colors does have that Leica 'glow'), superb tt.

do you use the Tungsten Clamp with vacuum hold down?

or does the titanium platter not have vacuum? apologize if I missed details of how this clamp is used.

Thanks Mike , Yes I used Tungsten Clamp with Vacuum hold down as to do this will eliminate some surface vibration and tend to increase micro details . The Titanium Upper platter also come with air vacuum . The one specially this time I also use Graham Elite TITANIUM armwand designed by TechDAS and made it a lot sound improve !!

Thanks! Jack , frankly speaking as quick setup I still used existing Graham counterweight . The problem was I try to use new counterweight but don't know why it's seem too heavy or I did something wrong for sure;);););)

Ah! THANK YOU! Perhaps the added weights are meant for really heavy carts like the TD Ti. I will try to mount a wand today, perhaps an Atlas SL.

T?hanks!! , Even we do have vacuum system on AF TT and we saw the vinyl completely attach with platter but the vibration still there. The main purpose to use Ultimate clamp was try to eliminate surface vibration on the vinyl that degrade sound quality. Once you try this stabiliser you can hear sound different and I'm sure that not my imagine but it's fact:D

As the Ultimate Tungsten stabilizer cost might too high , good news TechDAS just launch new stabilizer!!
