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.

Lawrence,
THIS is 'The Nude Turntable Project' Thread.
I'm not sure on your confusion?
If you click on the 'Date' in the left-hand column........you will see every posting from then on.
All the descriptive information you are after....is right here.
Yes I though so too?! but where is YOUR written review ? I cannot find it

Hi Lawrence,
Perhaps you can start HERE
But there are questions and progress reports all the way through.
Alright I got it Great writing!! I myself have all-ways thought if it was good/great 30 years ago its good/great today!!

some people just think because its 2013 and its a new design/turntable that it automatically = better

I love it...

I have said this before but will say it again. Thank u Henry for the inspiration behind your thread. Raul did mention Nude TT - in a couple of threads – but we never did see a picture of his setup. I learned more about resonances and vibrations during this project than I would have, I feel in any other way. So if anyone is a little bit curious, adventurous and have a vintage DD – go for it.

My SPMKII project has been through many versions. It is still not encased in a wrap around plinth, but it is now bolted to rigidly to the base (plinth) below it with the solid SS legs. The armpod I feel due to the 19 lbs involved provides a solid enough footing. Still, since the tonearm is unlikely to change, my next version will probably have the SS legs shortened, so that the armpod can be bolted directly to the base (plinth) as well. Similar in a way to the Verdier.
