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?”

Lewm: I just didn't want to leave intact the impression I was suggesting anything fishy on Jean's part.

Gadfly: Does anyone welcome your interjections?
Rnm4, The same goes for me. I only wanted to enliven the discourse. There's really no way that Jean could have an underlying motive when he states that he likes the Technics SP25 better than an SP10 MkII; I hope it's understood that I also think that this is a non-issue. I just wanted to talk a bit about what does or could possibly cause the differences in sonics among the dd's that Jean mentioned.
"So, don't be fooled by bogus "accuracy", which is in fact a gross colouration: " ... I'll say!!!

Since all those records have been mastered on a Technics drive then all those sources are unreliable? Or isn't it a good thing to play back on a motor that approximates the mastering motor as close as possible?

These are just questions which arose as I perused Mr. Nantais' inciteful and authoritarian prose.
