A Copernican View of the Turntable System

In_shore,
Any photos of your pod?

Halcro, hope you are not thinking of pouring concrete into a mold ?
Will be very interesting to see your method that will cost $20-$40.00

Dear Halcro, Very sorry to hear about your insomia but hope
that those painkillers are effective. Now Lew mentioned somewhere that he gets his best ideas just before going to
sleep. If we can put your both in bed together some huge
Heureka may come out as a result. I of course mean pure intellectual cooperation.
The possibility to get an heavy armpod for $40 looks even more promissing than the start of the MM thread. Is there
any chance that such an arm pod can be made from granite?
The kind from Lithuania is , as I already mentioned, unbelievable beautiful.

Regards,

Dear Lew, I am not familiar with USA price(s) for the Reed but in Germany (www.audio-markt.de) the Reed 2A is 2440 Euro ( basic version) while, for example, Raven 10.5 cost 4000 Euro. Not a bargain but still a 'decente price'.
For those with, uh, the 'French connection' even cheaper.
As far as I know there is no importeur in France (yet).

Regards,

in-shore, halcro is correct in the 3 points he makes. my mandate when i designed the pod was to have as much adjust-ability on-the-fly as possible. i can adjust azimuth and sra on-the-fly. i also wanted to standardise on armboards, as i have a micro seiki table as well with a number of armboards and arms.
i have done all of that with my pod.
as mentioned in an earlier post, the only concern that i have is my extended cantilevered armboard for the davincci. i will be making a new board, shorter and thicker at the post end for more contact area and less overall flex.
i have another pod, similar to the the one pictured, almost completed. it will not have the adjustable sra, but thr rest is the same. it's for my second table. i'm looking forward to installing my moerch up4 on it.
i'll post pics when it's done.
