Figuring out a nice looking and sound improving encasing using my favorite materials...copper, ebony and cocobolo wood...
.
Lets start....
A steady encasing for the transport mechanism...
I made my own laser board and guidance rod with non magnetic materials...okay it took me 10 hours filing but substantial improvement soundwise
And mounting it....
Building a layer underneath the transport support to get room for all the additional electronics...
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
Getting the laserboard and spindle with motor mass coupled and loose from the electronics....
Ditching the standard heavy magnetic puck in change for a nice featherlight Delrin screw-on puck including a platform to damp the spindle...
That is how I want it....
Experimenting with blue light in order to get the laser a proper reading environment....
Giving it a board with all the possible hook-ups....I use AT&T from the PiTbull towards the Genesis Digital Lens...again with dedicated PSU and super reg.
It is quickly getting a 2 box operation now....
The dramatic puck change resulted in a far better flow of music...
Starting to build a dedicated pedestal for the transport...heavy ebony support to hold the many trafo suporting encasing and the transport with electronics..
Building a turntable-like beech ring to damp all the copperware...
A rough idea
Cocobolo wood and all the lead encasing ...
Support detail...a Goldmund Tip Toe into an ebony (Adjustable) encasing onto a 12 mm copper plate
On its own feet.....
A new display.....
Seperate chambers (all copper shielded) for the trannies....
Spot the transport.....speaking of blending in...
display in place....
Getting the ideas....
