Slowly, inevitably, this thread is backsliding into the old argument that was the central topic in the Copernican thread. I felt that over time (and months of haggling), Halcro's approach actually began to look like an idea I could like, so that eventually there was very little to argue about. And I went off on my rigid way with my tonearm pivot firmly connected to my bearing. It's easier for walking around.
Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower
Hello,
I am rebuilding a Garrard 301 and looking for a plinth. I am planning to buy 3-4 tonearms to try. I would like to know which is the best way moving forward.
Is there a difference between mounting a tonearm directly on a solid plinth vs arm board (same vs different materials) vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower.
Thanks
Nanda

Halcro, My TT is a labor of love. I designed, machined, & built it myself over a couple year period.
Sorry, no current pictures on-line chakster. |
Sorry, no current pictures on-line chakster. I remember this Japanese super heavy stuff from Toho, i’d like to buy one of these for Victor TT-101 and Denon DP-80, tonearm base also looks very nice. Italian company Torqueo Audio introduced universal arm pods, here is one with Ikeda tonearm. |
