Hi all,
I thought id share a few pics of my new TT.
Iv been busy beavering away at this for a few months picking up bits and pieces as i could afford and decent opportunities arose .
The plinth is rosewood and corner braced, i have to say the character is stunning and its beautifully crafted.
Black top plate is from vinyl passion and cut thicker to reduce resonance.
New linn motor is hooked up to the mose power supply . edmund chucked in some quality gold audiophile fuses which apparently improves the sound????
Subchassis and armboard are solid acrylic . Maybe a kore will be on the cards in the future but this came up super cheap so couldnt resist and its much better than a standard linn chassis imo.
Arm is the nima mk2 with a yannis cable and an ortofon rondo red which was upgraded by a needle doctor with a nude shibata, he seems to think its as good as the rondo bronze now?? Its was brand new from his own collection so its still running in. This is my first dip into moving coil and i dont think il be going back in a hurry. Its wonderful.
Cirkus bearing and edmund chans ssp12 inner platter with embedded brass weight give it super smooth and stable rotation .
Baseboard is acrylic with sorbothane feet mounted on an isolation platform i knocked up until i can afford the trampolin.
Needless to say this thing is stunning and a HUGE step up from my RP6 with soundsmith otello cart. Very musical indeed and it extract better levels of just about everything..
yes i know there are better tables out there for the money but this has been my dream deck for a long time and buying it in parts and building it myself has cost me less than two thirds the price of a retail Majik. Living in oz has helped as all the parts have been vat free aswell. Happy days!!! This should keep me amused for a long time now and iv already set my sights on new amplification to help it shine even more.
Cheers
Karl
