Nude Turntable Project

Hi Henry

sounds like some fun.

first up I believe can's of mango sound better as they have a thicker syrup adding to isolation properties :-)

seriously, you need you get a correct 240 to 100vlt transformer. a friend of mine bought a micro seiki vintage table and it had an 220 stepdown and adding the correct 240 vlt made a world of difference. I use this one
see link http://cgi.ebay.com/Voltage-Transformer-110-130-220-240v-100v-200-300w-/190437406129?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c56f435b1

keep us informed on your progress

Thanks Shane,
You're right of course and if it sounds promising with the 220-100V transformer, that's the first change I'll make.

I don't think I've seen cans of mango at Coles but I'll try Ebay to hear the difference :-)

Dear Halcro: That Victor DD TT is very good ( It looks similar to a Denon DP-80 but I don't know if Denon made for Victor. ) and loks fine in naked fashion.

For begin with the tests that " can " could help ( maybe the Downunder mango can suggestion works better. ) but if you think that what you heard is something of good quality performance then you IMHO have to think in a dedicated tower tonearm board.

My Technics " experiment " is exactly like your Victor only with the AT footers instead your tip toes like ones and of course with a " mango " can arm board tower!

A friend of mine has his SP-10 MK2 with tip toes like and has successfull results..

Btw, in the other TT thread ask me for pictures of the naked SP-10 version that I can't do it because my camera is out of work but now with your picture-site everything is on " understand " status about.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Raul,
Thanks for the advice.
Of course if the experiment has some success I will get some armboard Towers and will ask you for some help?

Regards and I AM enjoying the music with The Empire 4000D/III cartridge.

The formula: 4 footers + 2 towers = 1 plinth.
