Nude Turntable Project


I could not fit the whole story in this Forum so have had to add it to my System Page.
I am attempting to hear if a 'naked' DD turntable can sound as good as Raul claims.

Hi Banquo,
Thanks for your concerns.
You're right about there being space to fit Chris' long spikes under the Victor.
I feel like an idiot for not seeing that before?!
It is now possible for me to design a circular aluminium frame cut and welded out of 10mm thick flats into which I can just 'drop' the Victor.
After I get my preamp back with a working phonostage.......that may be my next project.
Plenty of scope for rigidity, levelling and isolation in that concept I think?
Dear Halcro: That " circular aluminum frame " you are talking remember me what I did it with my Denons: instead that " circular aluminum frame where drop the Victor " my frames were from natural marble that was seated on the AT pneumatic footers and the Denons goes freely supported by three tiny tiptoes like ( I tested metal and non-metal materials here. ) that goes under the Denon/Victor circular metal top frame ( where comes the the TT controls/switchs.
This is a very tiny/thin surface for the tiptoes can stay in equilibrum but is more easy this set up that what we can think.

I still have those beautiful frames and maybe in the near future ( waiting for my Victor. ) I could try it again and see what happen.

Btw, those frames work as a giant/heavy/non-resonant( 40kg. ) arm board.

Well, something a little different but I remember it works very good too.

regards and enjoy the music,
R.
Btw, I really sorry the " accident " with your Phonolinepreamp and I mean it.
As you know I had my system down for almost three months and is an anguish that are hard to express/say.

Fortunately you have a domestic manufacturer, good lucl about.

Hi Halcro,
Just bought the TT-101. Would like to try the NUDE method. Can you email a copy of the armpods design to cashcamp@streamyx.com. Will try to ask the local machinist to make it.

Thanks

Been out of pocket dealing with the remnants of Isaac. So sorry to hear about your phono stage, hopefully there will be a quick turnaround. I feel bad that it was my idea that caused your problem, for that I apoligize, although it sounds like you didn't attach the disc to the bottom. I could see that feedback would be multiplied by not being so. Maybe a constrained layer attached would have worked? No spare phono? I thought we all had one.
