Nude Turntable Project

Hey Gary,
I am most impressed with your methods for damping the 'cage' of the Victor and I did say that I would try this technique if and when....I had solved the problem of the mysterious 'feedback' I can sometimes induce?
Unfortunately......in testing Ecir's suggestion for a 'disc' under the Victor....I used the 1.8Kg Micro Seiki Cu180 platter mat as the 'disc'.....and accidentally 'blew' the phono section of my Halcro DM10 with the 'feedback'!!??
So I discovered that this does not solve my particular problem and.......I will not be able to conduct any further experiments....let alone listen to vinyl.....for some time to come?! :-(

A curse on your collective heads I say!

Henry, my deepest condolences. If you were in NY I would lend you my spare phono-pre. I hope you get back to playing very soon.
Gary

"So I discovered that this does not solve my particular problem and..."

Droll, Henry, droll.

When you said you have a feedback issue, I assumed it was something subtle. A blown stage is not subtle. What on earth could it be?

What on earth could it be?

What on earth indeed Banquo??!
I'm beginning to think there is perhaps more here than complex feedback?
I've raise a new topic to see if any Gurus on A'Gon might have some ideas?
Have you any thoughts?
Cheers
Henry

I remembered that the TT-101 motor runs hot and needs to vent.

Hey Gary,
I hope you didn't cover the bottom vents of the steel 'cage'....as that is where the cooling air is dragged through to pass over the motor and vent through the side?
A hot Victor is an unhappy Victor :^(
