| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Kravi4ka,Not sure whether your question got answered. Make the armboard 1/8" to 3/16" thinner than your plinths top layer.This will be about 3 - 5 mm. 5/8th should be fine if you'll be attaching the armboard directly to the second layer.- Mario | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Kravi4ka,Does your modified Rega 250 have any added VTA adjustments or is it stock & static?If your Rega is in the original fixed version with only washers for height adjustments, then you’ll probably want your armboard about 1/8” below flu... | |
| Vinyl Outselling CD Well Eldartford,Not to argue with you, because your point is well taken. Then again books have been around a millennium without all that much in technological advances – text-messaging notwithstanding.The book analogy isn’t all that much of a stre... | |
| Vinyl Outselling CD Never say never. If your line in the sand is between analog and digital, then vinyl is the culmination of a century's development on one side of that line. The other side with a 20-year run, seems to be undergoing a bit of harsh clipping in figuri... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II A Rek-O-Kut Rondine with a metal motor pulley/spindle? Jean, you certainly live a charmed life! The audio Gods atop Mount Idler certainly seem to take a shine to you. I won't be suprised if some day you crack open a newly arrived Lenco and discove... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Harry,That McCurdy sure looks nice and at first blush, it seems to have a few things going for it that might lend itself to be a good candidate for “polishing the rock” to see if it has the potential as another dynamic idler in the rough. In fa... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Stephanl,I can vouche for the entire Prestige Grado line short the Woody Platinum (which I haven't had the pleasure of trying). Even the lowly Grado Black is one powerfully lush and musical cartridge. Best bang for the buck - hands down.However... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hey Grant,That was fun! And in two-track mono to boot. Your primal skepticism only lends credible weight to the chorus – a mass constrained sandwich in its on right. Not many months back, when the three of us were together, you continued to ask po... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II This is so true about the stock Lenco’s ability to engrave its bold presence in our listening rooms. So much so, that early on in the original thread there were quite a few reports of procrastination because of it. Many of these Lenco pioneers wer... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Turboglo,Here at AudiogoN they've got special "forum" called virtual systems. It allows you to upload pictures and descriptions of various components in your audio system. Once you complete the start-up of "My System", the little blue link that... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Nice Post Turboglo. And having the courage to pursue this at all costs. Any chance of posting some of this in a "System" thread so that we can take a gander?- Mario | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Goughary,My BPL-61 (forerunner of the L-70) has a spindle to pivot distance of 225mm. Your ATP-12T calls for a 242mm mounting distance. That extra 17mm would take you back to the corner of the plate. Depending how big of a mounting hole the AT ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Mike,Funny you should mention the middle of the room placement… Grant and I were just talking about such an idea the other night (he’s kind enough to humor me by listening to my wild schemes). He’s at the final design point for his plinth and i... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Of course, one could also dispense with the Lazy Susan altogether and just plop this whole affair atop a VPI Scout and move to a new reality in crushing a belt drive. |
