Nude Turntable Project
Richardkrebs,I imagine it’s possible to ‘define’ an object into existence to suit one’s argument….but I’m not sure where it gets you?To define a ‘plinth’ as a ‘shelf’ allows for a ‘rack’, a ‘platform’ and of course the ‘floor’ to also comply with ... 
Nude Turntable Project
I was thinking last night……because Aigenga’s TT-101 is nude and mounted on a wall-hung shelf like mine……I know exactly what it sounds like?Same with Banquo’s ‘nuded’ Victor.But I also know what most Raven AC turntables sound like (assuming they ar... 
Damping the analogue "setup"
Pani,If you can find a concrete wall or column in your listening room......then you can mount a support shelf for the turntable.The columns and supporting walls are not subject to the spanning stresses that the suspended floors are and thus do not...

Thanks Aigenga..........I knew the looks would not be to everyone's taste....and initially scared me somewhat :-0But now I think the covered 'guts' look stodgy in comparison.As Ecir said above.......I think it looks "wicked" :-)I really admire the... 
Why are modern arms so ugly?
Tbg........the Ikeda IT-407CR1.Are you saying this is a 'beautiful' modern arm or are you using it as an example of my Thread?It's not the ugliest arm IMO that's for sure......but compared to the original FR-66s by the same designer over 30 years ... 
Damping the analogue "setup"
I assumed it is not such a serious issue.It is a most serious issue......We have found that suspended concrete floors have intense inbuilt stresses because of the spans......and these stresses cause lower ever-present Structure-Borne sound than t... 
Damping the analogue "setup"
Is your concrete floor on the ground or is there a room under it?If it's not on the ground.....it is suspended.Having a timber floor on top of the concrete can introduce many of the problems of suspended floors as well. 
Damping the analogue "setup"
The short sweet answer is.......get the turntable off the floor and onto a wall-mounted shelf.The structure-borne feedback in the suspended floor will continue to haunt you if you dally with stands, spikes, feet etc.

A tripod is inherently more stable than 4 legs.Not true........try sitting on a 3 legged stool?Four legs is generally accepted for stability in chairs.......but in office chairs on castors.......even 4 castors is not sufficient for stability with... 
Legendary used amp, or economical new one?
Correction....I have the PMF 1850 power amp.Sorry.... 
Legendary used amp, or economical new one?
I bought a Perreaux PMF 1750 in about 1980 and used it every day for 30 years.The only problem in all that time was the blue power light failed after about 1 year (which never bothered me).... And the spring behind the power-on button didn't retai... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Dear Thuchan,Anything wrong with this?Nothing I can see......Go for it.I think 'inclusive' is far more productive than 'exclusive'?Horns, electrostatics, planars, dynamic.SS, valves.MM, MC, MI, strain gauge.Why not? 
What time do you wear?
Rolex Submariner for 26 years of daily use.Patek for occasions... 
Nude Turntable Project
Richardkrebs,I'm not sure if I understand you correctly?........Are you proposing using spikes with only one of them contacting the shelf material directly....whilst the other two have plastic discs placed under them?And could you please explain w...

What we really need......is for Banquo to remove the outer sheet and report what he hears as his leg supports are under the turntable rim like mine now are.......and his has always been like that.
