DIY Custom Made Turntables, some doubts..


Hello to all!

Please, someone can explain me how is the process of assemble a turntable when you purchase or DIY the cabinet, purchase a direct driver platter motor, like a Denon or JVC for example, and separated tonearm.

How projects like this works, in order to assemble the turntable with the tonearms correct distance in relation to the platter, in order to work properly?

I presume that tonearms that are sold separately, have all the instructions how to be installed in the correct position, is that right?

Just a example: http://www.aroundhifi.com/tag/turntable/

Many thanks, best regards to all, and feel free to tell me another technical infos that must be considered.

Hey guys, I was thinking more about this concept yesterday, maybe for a beginner, is better to start with something like this? or similar..

In order to learn how to install different tonearms, as the cabinet itself already have the module to take out and install other tonearms, and also different DD motors patters...

Instead of a project like this:

Where I presume it is a much more complex to setup.

Makes sense? What do you think? Any info is very much appreciated in order to understand more about this concept.

Thanks to all, best regards.


Thank you so much for this infos, will take a look at the Dr.Feickert protractor, and try to learn how works, this is new for me, very interesting!

Many thanks.
