    Thank you. Originally I was going to have Jon do them entirely in rosewood. He said look at them this way first. I was a bit leery but once they were in my room in person I really liked his suggestion.

    I use an Ikeda modified Ortofon 309 with an Ikeda C9 III 'cantileverless' cartridge (best described as a moving-coil 'Decca') on one of my Thorens TD124/II TTs. Sometimes I will swap out the Ikeda cartridge for an Ortofon SPU-GE, for a different 'presentation'.

A Technics SP10 MKII that has received the Krebs treatment, DAS dual arm plinth, Fidelity Research FR24 MKII 9", Jelco TK-950L MKII 12", Sph copper mat and record stabilizer. Ortofon and Audio Technica carts. Time for a listen tonight hopefully.

    Thank you John at www.Lynwardwoodworks.com/ for helping make my project a very beautiful and special one!

    Audio-Technica LP1240 with bypassed internal phono section and Cardas cable wiring from the tonearm leads directly to the RCA's. An Audio-Technica cartridge on modified stock arm. Black Diamond feet between the TT and neoprene layered MDF internal base with kiln dried domestic hardwood that are at a max of 8% moisture content for the rest of the plinth. This was made from 3/4" curly maple inlayed with curly Claro walnut. Joints are mitered and biscuit joined to add strength. The very bottom and inner base of the the turntable sits on is 3/4" MDF and the base has threaded 1/4 20 inserts for my choice of footers which are currently MapleShade. Copper platter mat and record stabilizer from Sien at SPH.

    Good golly... That looks like an awesome place to enjoy tunes.
    Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
    But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
    Always was. Always will be.


    One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
