| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Lewn. I forgot to mention that I have filled the ring or skirt with isodamp compound (blacktac) as used in speaker cabinets, this is actually in contact with the plinth, and has given a deadening effect and added mass (not that I needed any more).... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Thanks for the feedback fellas.T-Bone, I took those 'action' shots the other day, however neither the motor unit nor the arm were secured into the slate, and it was sitting on large temporary sorbohane footers, but it sounded rather good consideri... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Well it been a while now, but the slate plinth for the Denon DP80 has arrived and I'm getting it together.It's 100mm deep and a considerable weight. I have managed to drill the 3 fixing holes (m6) up close to the inner edges and glue m4 threaded i... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable A revovable arm-board would be desirable, I did consider trying to get a square or circular hole cut through the plinth with a lip half-way down for the arm board to sit on, but this would depend on the type of kit used to cut, Given what Lewn sai... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable LewmHow did you get on with the tricky holes on the edge of the motor unit cut-out? I can't find m4 bolts / machine scews longer than 60mm, so unless I bore slightly larger holes from underneath to a dept of 50mm in rder fasten a nut on each bolt,... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Hi T_boneI spent some time scratching my chin on this one. I was toying with the idea of having a corner piece cut out of the plinth, rounded off and bore it for the arm, whereby it would 'sit' inside the concave rounded corner without actually to... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Just a quick update.I've handed over my template to a fella who runs a mill and specialises in slate. I'm going for a monster one-piece 100mm thick 'headstone finish' type slab. The cut-out is tricky (especially at the front where it comes with a ... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable I've had a look at a similar thread on another forum, and agree with you Lewm that bolts are best for this job! I have decided to bolt both chassis and tonearm through the top layer only, I will drill a rebate/countersunk hole into the underside i... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Hi LewmThese are all interesting challenges as you are no doubt aware. Coupling the chassis to the plinth is the trickiest challenge. I like your idea of bolting the chassis right through to the bottom where it can be firmly anchored underneath - ... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable I sourced a nice big slab of slate for just £30 on the weekend from a reclamation yard, it's 2 inches thick and the plan is to cut in in half and double it up, so it will end up being 4 inches deep which is the same depth as the DK300. The upper &... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Hi RaulInteresting stuff, you are a lucky man indeed to have both decks to play with.I was under the impression that the DP80 was also designed for professional/studio use, and the DP75/M was the domestic version. It doesn't matter as they (Techni... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable My 'finest slate' line was written in jest, it's just a marketing gimmick in my opinion, and I can no-way afford Slatedeck's prices anyway. Yes I agree that the fastening holes are very close to the inner edge of the cutout, and this is a concern,... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Thanks for the reply Lewm. I am based in the UK (Wales) where the world's finest slate comes from (apparently) but it's still very expensive here. Hopefully I can source a decent fireplace plinth or something of similar size. I have a local stone ... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable [IMG]http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee15/indypepa/newdenon.jpg[/IMG]I have owned my DP80/dk300 for 6 weeks now along with a Koetsu SA1100 special edition tonearm. I am running a re-tipped and nuded Denon 103, this rig is my last stand at analo... |
