Nude Turntable Project

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,

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!

Hiho, Now take THAT and mount it in a piece of slate or hardwood, and you've got something, IMO. Where are the electronics? Show us what is at the other end of those wires coming off the bottom of the motor. Thx.

You've given me further reason to hang on to my DP80. FWIW, the Technics Mk3 and the L07D are already in this configuration; all electronics are off-board. Steve Dobbins took the Mk3 one more step by eliminating the decorative "chassis" that houses the Mk3 motor and brake system. I don't think that would add much, because the Mk3 chassis is pretty much solid metal. There are no hollow spaces that could ever resonate. What it does do is to get that square escutcheon out of the way which would facilitate mounting of multiple tonearms on board the plinth or use of outboard armpods. I don't quite know how Steve managed to separate motor from chassis; it's not obvious from external inspection how that could be achieved without some cutting.
