OK I’ve got a filthy mind but my first thought of “velvet vortex” is some weird fleshlight sex toy.

I like the red 13amp plugs 
It was a pity I didn’t get the chance to set them up properly, I have changed how I do the crossovers since I last configured those drivers.
At the weekend since it takes for ever I just loaded up the settings I last used in the old enclosures which were a long way from optimised.
New crossovers done in the software and they sound pretty damn good, asking a little much of the mid and sub so it’s not perfect but shows promise.
I either need to bring the 18” woofers in, or work on a 12-15” version that goes low enough for the sub (and future lab subs)

I’m hoping someone else will bring something people actually want to listen too 
These weren’t a permanent build, just an experiment more than anything.

Ohhhhh.
That will be me next. Nice.
It’s bloody heavy and as well as looking very cool it does make a noticeable improvement to the sound.
Are you using a clamp? It doesn’t necessarily need it but I generally use the Michell one.

Haven’t got a clamp but I do use a 550gm weight.

I do the same. I need a weight as;
a) it looks cool.
b) if you use a carbon brush to clean the record when it’s spinning, it doesn’t work without being weighed down.
c) it flattens some LPs

Put the old B&W DM4’s back in the system, they are lovely things.
