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.

Halcro,
I added two photos: the rubber strapped turntable and the component rack. The rack is cast iron, stands seven feet tall and is 3 feet wide. It weighs 200 lbs maybe 300. I am considering building a wall shelf and integrating it into the rack at the level where the TT is now. Yet another project.

Gary, I will chime in here by saying that you need to copy the same material used by Halcro when it comes to armpod. Anything else will just be good but not to the level of sonics performance of that of Halcro. He seemed to me the only person that I know of to have the most correct material.
Audpulse, I do what I can. My cantilevered arm pod looks somewhat like the arm boards on Halcro's Raven. .

I've thought more about taping the pod to the granite slab vs putting it on points. My current thought is that taping it makes it one with the slab from a mass perspective and points will isolate it. I am going to try both but I am betting that the massive approach is preferable - a 40lb arm board seems good to me.

Ingenious DIY work Aigenga.

I too would like to have Halcro's pod, but if I recall he had a friend do the casting, which casting would have otherwise cost mucho dinero (not to mention the difficulty of locating such a person in the first place). We do what we can.

Don't spikes couple, as opposed to isolate?

I'll be joining the tt101 club very soon. We 3 can compare notes.
Gary, I am not referring to the design but that BRONZE is the best choice for armpod that I am currently aware of.
