Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II

“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

Nice Post Turboglo. And having the courage to pursue this at all costs. Any chance of posting some of this in a "System" thread so that we can take a gander?

Mario, what do you mean by a "system thread?"

Hi Turboglo,
Here at AudiogoN they've got special "forum" called virtual systems. It allows you to upload pictures and descriptions of various components in your audio system. Once you complete the start-up of "My System", the little blue link that appears after your user name will have "System" added to "(Threads|Answers)".

billybuck jean has done some sp10 comparisons, doubtless he will fill you in. its definately worth persevering with your lenco, you've been quite unfortunate so far as generally the simplicity and build quality of the lenco means few problems ever!

My system needs updating with new stuff and new lenco pics as most was sold for me house. still, you'll get to see pics of my twee little (by usa standards) new lounge.

Turboglo it is seriously exciting to have it up and running and sounding so good. would be interesting to hear what arm etc you're using with your lenco.

Jean, i've been hankering after some klipsches ever since i found the klipsch forums a few years ago. I've actually delayed posting about the yamaha ns-615's because they're so cheap on epay still i didnt want to increase demand. then i suddenly relised i've already got a pair! EER! They even make cds sound decent, which is a novel experience for me.

got my eye on a weird tube amp at the moment. more if i end up purchasing the little blighter
