Took me forever to find the search expired listings too. I went to My Trade Me tab to find the old interface. Scroll right down to the bottom of the horrible homepage, you'll see Desktop Site.
Click there and ye shall find succour! The old "search expired listings" tab will be where it used to be.
it will revert in a few days but now you know what to do.

That doesn't work if you're already on the desktop site.

More utilitarian. Got to sort those moonlanding feet to something more aesthetically pleasing. But unfortunately they seem to work quite well sonically!

Nah, only arrived this morning.
Been busy setting it up, tweaking and having a listen.

Did it come with DV arm/Delos ?

Did it come with DV arm/Delos ? Unfortunately not. That's my second/spare 505, and original Delos, borrowed from the Aura.

Been experimenting with various low/mid cost feet and all I get is a low frequency feedback/resonant hum/warble (forget what the technical term for that is!?).
Tried putting it on heavy granite slabs but that made the low frequency rumble worse.
Seems it performs best on a light, wobbly record box, with its own original feet!

Put your TT on a soundboard - flat, thin slab of wood sitting on your favourite isolation feet etc.

Also tried it as described on an Ikea APTITLIG butchers block. Still better without.

Ditto, tried various wooden supports like butcher block, big sandbox, thick slab and none sounded as good as a thinnish board ~2cm.
Enid Lumley also liked her soundboards lemon oiled, tried that, all it did was make the board smell lemony.

I have a thin 1.3 cm board under the Aura, and I'd use that but it's a pig of a thing to move!

Found a piece of mdf, not that light but it works fine. 👍

I have a piece of mdf I found at a timber store, other pieces I've found at recycled furniture places My WTT was on a nice slab of matai that matched my main equipment stand - recycled matai from the old PN Opera House ! The SP10 sits on a modifed rimu cupboard door

Neighbor supplied me with an even thinner, very light weight piece of 1 cm particle board, at least a third the weight of the other 1.75cm mdf one. Got to say I was surprised at the sound difference. Quieter, less background noise, less feedback.

After deciding to keep both turntables I needed a new rack, just got it all together last night.

More utilitarian. Got to sort those moonlanding feet to something more aesthetically pleasing. But unfortunately they seem to work quite well sonically! No offense intended but they are ugly. Since they work I guess a stay of execution is at hand.

Unfortunately, I couldn't agree more!
I've been recommended some Townshend seismic footers as worthy replacements. But the three of them will be around $700 and its not guaranteed that it will sound any better and I'm not so sure they look much better either.

I have plain 2.5cm thick sculpted sorbothane footers under the feet of my Technics SL-6, possibly unnecessarily, but it raises it up near the Sansui next to it, on two sandwiched 3cm mdf shelves with a stiff foam inner.
I've noticed you need to center them accurately, otherwise they can look askew. They don't have metal bands like those. I say, let form follow function, get used to them! ;=})
Do you think they might be sorbothane?
Regards!

Put the "rubber-polymer" domes under the light weight board, and swapped in some Maglev feet. I swear it sounds better, but could be pscho-acoustical side effects playing tricks on my mind. Deeper, cleaner, more solid sounding bass notes. Only downfall is that there is something in my open plan living space that now resonates when a low E2, or maybe F2 note is played, around 85Hz. An annoying rattle is generated somewhere.
