| Nude Turntable Project Hi T_bone,The aluminum top plate is 10mm (3/8") thick and comes with the correct sized hole pre-drilled for each arm and is screwed to the bronze arm-pod.Each top plate costs a mere $90.00 so many arms can be accommodated by simply switching in th... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I've just received the raw bronze castings for the arm-pods (see link).I designed the pods to suit all the arms I'm familiar with so that the inside diameter hole is 55mm diameter which can take the thick VTA tower of the Continuum Copperhead arm ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks for the encouragement Bpoletti.I guess it's too late to stop?......but I am having fun.I'm thinking of getting the Fidelity Research FR-64S tonearm. There is so much hype about this arm (especially among the Germans), and although it's a hi... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Well things never go smoothly do they?After chasing some known arm-pods worldwide, I was shocked to learn that the basic cost of each one was $2000-$3000...and that's without the delivery costs, duty etc.This lead me to design my own pods in solid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,Here is Raul's review of the Empire 4000D/III where he rates it up with your Technics.4000D ReviewI can't do much better than this but I've been listening to it in the Copperhead for a month now and I still can't fault it.It does things ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,Empire 4000D/III Gold available for $350.00 from:jenright@empirescientific.comCheers | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dgob,Thanks for the kind words.I'm sure that your Technics cartridge is giving you everything you need and sounds fantastic. What arm are you using it in?Not having one yet, I'm unlikely to hear it in my system compared to the 4000D/III.Incid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob,I have both the 1000ZE/X and 4000D-III Gold and whilst I love the 1000ZE/X (only on the right arm), I strongly recommend that you obtain a 4000D/III whilst you can.I find it quite different to the 1000ZE/X whilst still retaining the seductive... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I have now designed the arm-pod which is being machined and have ordered 2.25 metres of Cardas Golden Reference phono cable with 5 Pin DIN and XLRs which is being made.I have a pristine example of the Grace G-940 damped unipivot tonearm (on Raul's... | |
| Nude Turntable Project After listening for several hours to the 'Nude' TT-81 with various well-known albums, I have to say that it does not seem to suffer in any way in comparison to the Raven AC-3.It's too hard to make any detailed comments or comparisons because:-1. T... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Downunder,Certainly not 'pain'.In fact on first listen (despite the makeshift nature), this is surprisingly good sound.I think HiHo may be right about JVC/Victor? | |
| Nude Turntable Project Up and running.Took Downunder's advice and 'mounted' the 12" DaVinci Grandezza Ref.RUNNING | |
| What's wrong with 6-7 ft tonearm wires? Thanks for all the responses.I initially plan on using MM/MI cartridges but this may change in the future and I certainly would want to hear a few LOMC just for comparison purposes.Almarg, could you please list some phono cables with those very lo... | |
| Nude Turntable Project First problem encountered.The Phantom II does not 'fit' against the TT-81 because of the extra 'banding' around the platter and the SME base to the Graham arm.NUDE TT | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Raul,Thanks for the advice.Of course if the experiment has some success I will get some armboard Towers and will ask you for some help?Regards and I AM enjoying the music with The Empire 4000D/III cartridge.Halcro |
