I once had big plans on building my own tt using purpleheart. As my first project, I fashioned a motor enclosure out of 3" purpleheart. It had been in my home for a couple years acclimating to it's environment. One day, while listening, I kept hearing distortion. Yep, the enclosure had cracked. For this reason, I abandoned my use of only wood in a tt project.
l want to build a solid wood turntable
Sam here and I haven't owned a turntable in 25 years, however if I build a turntable out of solid aged wood like a nice musical instrument with the tone arm connected to the center spool made of solid wood to get the vibrations and the stylus made from shungite would I get super vinyl sound more analog like? This will be my new project.
