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?”

Dear Gadfly,
Tell me more about your TD-111 and less about your personal obsession with Jean and what you think he did or did not claim to invent or discover. No one gives a darn either way.

Dear everyone else,
Jean built me a giant plinth for my Lenco. I've had it up and running for about a week. The results are cosmetically beautiful, and the sound is divine. It makes good sounding LPs sound better than ever before and breathes life into previously disappointing ones. For these things, I am grateful to those who brought idler-driven tts to my attention in the first place and to Jean for his labors and insights.

personal obsession with Jean? I didn't think they'd post that first one so I wrote another but then and now I see that there is no gainsaying the goofy.

I don't give a darn either. bye bye. Johnnantais invented the internet.

Full comment - Dear Gadfly, thank you for your insightful and helpful contributions to the thread, dipwad. I know I'll be bookmarking them for future reference. And the internet comment was very clever; did you make that up yourself?
