A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear Nikola

Please ignore my last recommendation. I fear if you try it and liked what u hear that you will be in for a bigger dilemma with your space constraints. I already have 3 TT's in one room but the room is dedicated. It is still lunacy to an outsider. I tell myself its keeping me from becoming a loon but probably too late. Too much beer and sun I fear at this point for me.

Anyway - I do not want to be responsible for any problems this may cause in your house.

Cheers Chris

AT 616 height: 2 inches at lowest setting; 2.25 inches at highest setting. There's a set on eBay right now--but the price is not exactly friendly. If you really want them, Nandric, do like Chris did and post a want ad. Or, as Lewm said, there are surely good alternatives--it's just not clear what those are.

Halcro: you got a bargain with your pods (friend discount?).

Lewm: yes, you are boring on this topic--but it's nice to have antipodes.

Halcro, the size of your pod (180mm x 360mm cutout the side with 55mm hole for tonearm) is why the cost is so much to machine. What is the height?

Building one similiar to ttweight is more inline of the cost of your casting.

Corby, maybe a lead ring at the base would help the problem with your panzerholtz pod.

Do you have any breakdown pocs of your adjustable pod?

Lewn, my arm pod path would probably not be for the garrard. My 301 is currently in a slate plinth that won't be easily changed to accept another tonearm, the reason for building others to come soon.

Here is the only example of one I ever seen on the net. Is that for a reason is the question.

I respect and agree with your opinion but also respect as stated earlier in the thread that it would be hard for me to comment negatively without having a direct experience.

Any of you guys checked out emachineshop yet? It really is a nice piece of softawre even it is only used for drawing and viewing a prototype of anything. I will soon setup my photobucket with a link to some pics.
