Kudos for the attempt. Keep us posted on how it progresses. The ability you have starting from scratch is a blank slate. Play with it.
I think I am going to attempt to make turntatbles
First off let me say I am not new to the audio realm. I am a computer engineer and yes I realize that deals in ones and zeros. However, I have made a few custom guitars. I know a master woodworker and a talented machinist. I have been searching for that perfect table for years whilst living in mediocrity. Well, I have the resources; why not make one from scratch. More than likely I am going to attempt a belt drive unit at first using an off the shelf arm... More than likely an SME. I am working on the power supply circuitry right now as my piece. Any one have any tips... I am thinking solid, large mdf plinth with an attached copper mat and either a heavy plinth with an acoustically decoupled motor or completely detached. Thoughts?

Well I will probably start with a plinth and the guts out of my fisher direct driver first to be honest... Then I will move onward and upward... This being my first attempt... I suppose I will teach myself some design 101 on the cheap using what I got first... Once I can get that good sounding I will progress.. I have alot to learn and this ought to be fun at the very least. |
You may find some of the resources at The Analog Dept useful here: http://www.theanalogdept.com/index.html This page from the above website is focused on building various plinths that may be useful as well since that is where you are starting out: http://www.theanalogdept.com/plinth_builders_gallery.htm Hope this helps. |
