aewarren you are correct i will incorperate shungite in another way.The key is to age the wood for use in the platter and tone arm.The platter must be very thin maybe 1/4 to 1/8’’ thickness waterloged with the distilled shungite water and then dried under a sun lamp to make it very dry so it vibrates the natural wood tone. The center spool will also be a wood spindal.l’m also thinking neodynium magnets and quartz crystal can be encorperated in some way as when i place quartz crystal on the lamp plug it really improves the tone of audio.
