Nude Turntable Project


I could not fit the whole story in this Forum so have had to add it to my System Page.
I am attempting to hear if a 'naked' DD turntable can sound as good as Raul claims.

Dear Aigenga: What a coincidence. That's exactly the way I made my very first attempt to " nude " my both Denons in its marble and onyx weighty plints and the way I tested last weeks where the motors were seated onsmall tiptoes in the stone plinths.

Lewm that's the way I give you an advise several months ago for you can chech your Denon and Technics with your customs plinths, where the plints in reality function as a whole arm boards.

Thank's for the pictures.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
Dear Hiho: Maybe I'm a to " slow " here to understand your post. What do you mean with " take the motor out " when the motor is integral part of the bearing/platter?, maybe I can take out all the TT inside electronics but I can't understand the other way around: could you explain me?: thnak's.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
Interesting solution Aigenga and nice photos.
I think you have successfully removed your TT-101 from it's plinth and can claim to be running officially 'nude' :^)
It would be good to hear your impressions in more detail when you become more accustomed to the sounds?
Cheers

Rauliruegas: "What do you mean with "take the motor out" when the motor is integral part of the bearing/platter?"

I meant to take the bare motor out and route/extend the wires back to the electronics. It's a deconstructive or purist way of doing it. This way the motor truly has to "mount" to something without interacting the stock chassis. As I said, what you and Halcro have been doing is not really "nude" setup because the stock chassis is acting as a plinth. So there is a plinth in there, except people don't recognize it. I hope this makes it clear to understand.

Happy holidays!
