| Nottingham Interspace TT/Arm vs Used Linn Lp12 Generally speaking, all 'Not tables come without arms and then the distributor or dealers package them with a 'Not arm to provide a "package" deal. There is the Interspace arm which is often sold with the Interspace, but even more frequently I hav... | |
| Nottingham Interspace TT/Arm vs Used Linn Lp12 IMHO, the Interspace and up in the 'Not line will make you forget about the Linn (which I have owned). E-mail me in the event you'd like further detail on what I anticipate will be a sound choice for you. | |
| I need audition advice Ed, can you tell us how you found the Aurum Beta S different from the original? I heard the original a couple of times and would agree that it needed improvement. Thanks | |
| Gruve Glide Yeah well I did something similar the second time I used it Doug so you can rest your brain! :-)Wally be WAY slow. | |
| Gruve Glide Saw the UFO, too. Seems like it is designed to float in a sink of water such that the record doesn't come in contact with the sink.(?) It is the same principle as the Groovmaster and uses o-rings to seal. The only advantage I can see is that it mi... | |
| Designing a Plinth One reason I ask about using the lathe (or a shaper) is that I would then gouge a groove or five and then use some bandings to highlight the platter edge, examples of which can be seen in the link below. There are a variety of other source for the... | |
| Designing a Plinth Joe, let me ask you this. How did you establish the outer circumference of your platter? Were I to make one, I was considering attaching stock to top and bottom and turning it on the lathe. A shaper and jig might work. Of course, a band saw and sh... | |
| Designing a Plinth 8/4 cocobolo, Joe (he said slobbering at the thought)? | |
| Designing a Plinth Prpixel, I only provided the descriptions of woods that I found in a catalog after giving my own description previously and as an alternative the description you gave of Mara which looked for all the world like a cut and paste. Yes, the descriptio... | |
| Designing a Plinth Guess I have been lucky in that all five of my sources for wood still sell by the board foot (veneers excepted), even exotics. Of course, I have known three of them for over 40 years and my grandfather knew their father's before that. Most I find ... | |
| Designing a Plinth I find it interesting the fact that it is more costly to use acrylic than certain exotic woods...if there is a method to the madness of using acrylic, perhaps there is a madness to the method of using wood.I certainly like the look of wood. | |
| MONO cartridge Ed, thanks. Yeah, I'm not sure I want to go too high on the mono cart at this point. Maybe the idea would be to buy a good used one from someone trustyworthy and then maybe upgrade later (which is probably inevitable)David | |
| Designing a Plinth Prpixel, there are may varieties of Lignum Vitae, but wow!. Where do you go that charges for wood by the pound? | |
| Designing a Plinth Jim, I have some of my own ideas with respect to grain aligning and using what I call "switch-back diagonal piecing" within the platter which I'd like to use. However, I have not fully worked out my approach, as yet.Joe has already done one, I ass... | |
| Designing a Plinth Jimbo3, mesquite is very hard and dense but I don't feel it passes the "stable" test. Mesquite is also brittle and, more concerning, often has inclusions or cracks within the wood that are not apparent. It is a gnarly tree so it stands to reason. ... |
