Chris.Hmmm. Haven't put any thought into the trough location for literally years. I put my design trough at the wand end to reduce any shake rattle and roll of the wand itself and by extension the cartridge. Since the key to performance of the tro...

HF Dover.Compressor is a piston type, which one would think would produce a pulsating air flow. Certainly the piston type loaner they gave me failed the Chris T noise test. The difference this time around is as follows. I'm using two regulators in...

Frogman."gas powered compressor with large storage tank"This is kinda what I'm using now. It is a small shop air compressor. oil less type. It pumps the tank up to 120psi and switches off. Switching on again at 80 psi. The output is fed thru two r...

Manitunc.Sounds like you are going to build a shop air supply. Cool.Don't forget to earth the air lines close to the arm. Don't know if you would need 3 earth lines or just 1. Suspect 1 would be best.What pressure do the Wisas run into the arms?th...

Manitunc.Thanks for that. I thought that you would want to keep it, but it was worth a shot.Cheers.

I currently have a L07d in a thousand pieces. It uses extensive complex shielding around the motors many parts. Quite necessary I think, since the coils are close to the upper platter surface and are oriented vertically, focusing their flux up and...

Halcro.We are both blessed with having music rooms that have concrete floors sitting on mother earth. My definition of a plinth is likely a little wider than yours. To me it is.. "the structure that maintains accurate dimensional stability between...

Halcro.You are using a plinth.It is the shelf upon which your TT sits via the spikes you are using.It would also seem logical that different shelf materials, size, shape, support method, spikes, et el would make a difference.

Hi.The Gyro testing table had 6 cast iron legs. Five of them were height adjustable with wooden decoupling pads. The sixth leg had no adjustment and it directly coupled with the concrete floor.

Yes the concept works. I used it in my first Home built TT, back in the late 70's. The idea was borrowed from an ancient Gyro testing table I saw at Air NZ. It had adjustable feet with wooden pads connecting the floor and one fixed cast iron foot....
