Tonights Update - The Reference Lenco Pt LXVIII - The Future
The '75 has been rather lonely of late due to a Goldring 99 but I'm glad to say that the 99 is now on the back burner for a little while whilst I wait for some things to be delivered. I've already started on the latest top plate modifications which should add additional stiffness and mass which hopefully nukes those naughty vibrations a little more efficiently. I'm also designing and building a new plinth and It'll take into consideration the logic of coupling the bottom of the top plate to the plinth by increasing surface area and again hopefully spreading vibration over a much wider area. The motor will be decouple on its own mount and so will the tonearm. I'm going to purchase a vibrometer and hopefully should be able to start and measure just how the various bits of the deck are affected by vibration. I'll probably produce a whole set of readings for the deck in it's current configuration and then again when the newly designed top plate, plinth and decouple motor/tonarm configuration goes into service. So, work starts tomorrow and I'll post some pictures as I get time.
