Whats on your turntable tonight?

Not the pre, the BL album. (:

Regarding the Richard Thompson lp…. I haven't listened to it in years because I thought the sonics suffered. Now, years later, it really is sounding very good. I guess I must have done something right in the mean time?

slaw & 6t5gto,
I made the turntable. It's a labor of love.The platter is 4" thick solid aluminum & the plinth is 2". Both are powder coated then dampened on both sides. The platter is topped with a 1/4 delrin "mat" that is solidly bolted to it. Flywheel, motor, & arm peds are not attached to the platter or plinth. They are made out of aluminum, brass, & ceramic. The bearings are modified aerospace parts with the "X" &"Y" portions separated from each other. They are made out of aluminum with a thin layer of hard coat applied to the surfaces that make contact with each other. I've been playing around with it for a few years now, making modifications etc. It sounds wonderful in it's current state. BTW I'm digging the Clearaudio MM cartridge, although it is far from broke in. Sorry for rambling.   

Bettye Lavette - "Things Have Changed" - Saw her last weekend at Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch Station in Meigs County, Ohio. They did the entire album in order.

@boxer12,

Thanks for the update. It sounds like a labor of love. Did you use any type of adhesive in it’s construction? Are you a machinist? What about the bearing? Any more details a layman could understand.…?
