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:

Your issue is way beyond my ken to diagnose, but if it were me I'd be on the look out for audio gremlins.

Seriously though I hope you find what you're looking for.
Hi Banquo,
Thanks for your concerns.
You're right about there being space to fit Chris' long spikes under the Victor.
I feel like an idiot for not seeing that before?!
It is now possible for me to design a circular aluminium frame cut and welded out of 10mm thick flats into which I can just 'drop' the Victor.
After I get my preamp back with a working phonostage.......that may be my next project.
Plenty of scope for rigidity, levelling and isolation in that concept I think?
Dear Halcro: That " circular aluminum frame " you are talking remember me what I did it with my Denons: instead that " circular aluminum frame where drop the Victor " my frames were from natural marble that was seated on the AT pneumatic footers and the Denons goes freely supported by three tiny tiptoes like ( I tested metal and non-metal materials here. ) that goes under the Denon/Victor circular metal top frame ( where comes the the TT controls/switchs.
This is a very tiny/thin surface for the tiptoes can stay in equilibrum but is more easy this set up that what we can think.

I still have those beautiful frames and maybe in the near future ( waiting for my Victor. ) I could try it again and see what happen.

Btw, those frames work as a giant/heavy/non-resonant( 40kg. ) arm board.

Well, something a little different but I remember it works very good too.

regards and enjoy the music,
R.
Btw, I really sorry the " accident " with your Phonolinepreamp and I mean it.
As you know I had my system down for almost three months and is an anguish that are hard to express/say.

Fortunately you have a domestic manufacturer, good lucl about.

Hi Halcro,
Just bought the TT-101. Would like to try the NUDE method. Can you email a copy of the armpods design to cashcamp@streamyx.com. Will try to ask the local machinist to make it.

Thanks
