| turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? Tarsando, I bought 12--- 8 x 8 x 16 solid cinder blocks a few months ago, dried them out in my oven at work. 3 blocks per level, 2 side by side and the third sideways. each level separated by a piece of half inch of Homasote with the stacking conf... | |
| Turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? Salectric, The common thread seems to be the maple butcher block platforms that "gonners"seem to prefer. The Sound Anchors stands with the pvc damping tubes are intriguing, I know nothing about them. I will check out their website to glean whatev... | |
| Turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? slipknot1, Months ago, I planned on building a table from scratch, utilizing the machining facilities of a good friend of mine . He had a top notch cnc machine shop here in Richmond. He did a fair amount of machining for me when I was building my ... | |
| Turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? Slipknot1, It seems as though you've made preparations to listen to vinyl durring an earthquake. Ain't overkill great! What do you feel that having the Walker on the massive maple platform atop the rack does for the sound as compared to having it ... | |
| turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? Marco, Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping to get more positive replies from "gonners" regarding steel stands as compared to aluminum. Welding aluminum takes a seasoned craftsman, especially if you have concerns for perfectly smooth joints that can ... | |
| Shelter and Triplanar matching ? Dougdeacon, The Tri Plainer WAS at the end of the slots. At that point,realizing we could do no more, we decided to see what the performance would be. We played with the tracking force, vta, and cartridge loading until we had it zeroed in, or at l... | |
| Shelter and Triplanar matching ? Dougdeacon,Thank you for the reply, it never occurred to me that there may be a problem with a new arm, but everyone makes mistakes.The Sota Mellennium table I'm using was a display unit I purchased at the 2005 CES and was set up with a Tri Plaine... | |
| Shelter and Triplanar matching ? Hi Tenmus.I finished setting up my Triplainer-Shelter 90X a few weeks ago. The first thing I played was Swan Lake. The arm shook so badly that I ceased playing the table The next day a call to Tri Plainer resulted in the suggestion that I back the... | |
| Linear Tracking or Not?, Any Experiences and Recs Dgad, Whart, in my haste to reply, I errored in referring to hunting; I realize it might happen to a line tracker, if fitted with a high compliance- low mass cartridge. I meant to refer to the modest changes in vta caused by the shorter effective ... | |
| Linear Tracking or Not?, Any Experiences and Recs Dgad, Whart, your discourse was very informative. There isn't much discussion on straight line arms, as there aren't many around. Without going out and buying an integrated system such as Walker, Rockport,or Kuzma it seems as though mating a tange... | |
| Linear Tracking or Not?, Any Experiences and Recs Dgad, Your comment on a vacuum table as being necessary for optimun performance of a tangent tracker is of interest to me , as I have just purchased the Kuzma Air Line and do not intend to use it on a commercially manufactured table. Would you ple... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines tgb, I appreciate your reply. Your recommendation of the Loricraft seems to confirm the comments offered on other Audiogon threads and discussion groups. Getting the best or the cheapest has always been an axiom I've followed. If you get the cheap... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Hi Audiogoners, I have about 7,000 lp's. I bought half between 1956 and 1962. The other half came from a good friend and audio buddy I've had since the same time period. I generally visited him every few years when I went back to my home town of M... | |
| Maple platforms 02-22-06 This discussion on the advantages of maple shelves has given me a reason to rethink building a stand for my turntable using 3inch square aluminum tubing, heli-arcing the joints, powdercoating it and then filling the tubing with a urethane... |
