I'm going to pick it up after work.  Any do's and don'ts I should know before hooking it up?

Check your TT speed after you get it running. Mine was fast.

After a night of listening, I have to say, that the DPS does offer a noticeable improvement.  I was skeptical before purchasing, but now I'm glad I did.  The best way to describe the improvement, is if any of you ever had a Rega turntable and if you replaced the stock subplatter with a Groovetracer reference subplatter (or some other machined subplatter).  Every thing became more focused and crisp.  Vocals are spot on and imaging seems more accurate.  I did have to adjust the speed after adding the DPS, but everything is on point. 

I definitely recommend the DPS.

I do agree it is a fabulous addition to the WTA.

Wow, Roscoeii, I'm guessing the Townshend won out.  It must be a fine deck.

Both are very very fine turntables. It came down to being able to take some money out of my system by selling the WTA. I could certainly see returning to the WTA in the future. It was a sad farewell, with Kieth Jarrett soaring on the piano in a way that will be missed.

Well I didn't pay tax or shipping on mine, so your best bet will probably be to send it back.

Yeah, shipping mine back since I no longer have the WTA. Does make a nice difference, for sure. Well worth checking out.

Well, take care, Rosco.  I'm sure we'll see you on another forum. :thumb:

Oh don't you worry, I will still be following WTA threads.
