Thanks for adding me .
I make turntable plinths for a living , have done so for 5 years. I concentrate on idler drives such as Lenco and Garrard.
I am a long standing audio enthusiast and like a broad spectrum of music, from Mozart to Beefheart and beyond !
I also love audio equipment of all types, its what makes the magic happen .
Im currently using a Garrard 401 and an old technics 8080 amp, speaker's change quite regularly but currently im messing about with an old set of kefs and wishing i hadn't sold my Lancasters.

Hi Carl. Welcome to AOS.

I'm sure there'd be interest in your plinths. There's always somebody with a turntable project.

Yes, that was silly flogging the Lancasters. It'll cost you now to get another set. :)


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thanks Martin and Geoff. I swapped the Lancasters for some esl 63s which were great but had 1 achilles heel, namely not much umph when it was needed. Ive gone around the houses since then.

Hi Carl,

I have to say I am very impressed with your work. I am not a turntable man myself, my hobby is making speakers so I do some veneering myself. I would be very interested to have a chat with you to compare notes. If you don't mind would you like to PM me your number and tell me when would be the best time to call?

On a different subject, I see that you are thinking about some new speakers. Have you thought about making some IPL transmission lines? You obviously have the skills to make your own and Ivan's speakers are very well regarded by those that have heard them. He website is www.iplacoustics.co.uk

Regards,

Richard.
