I need to check a few things when i’m more awake and there is daylight, like alignment, tracking force and bias, VTA and maybe have recheck the arm bearing adjustment as they were loose as hell when it got here, but to be honest it already sounds very good indeed, Gregory Porter and Beck have never sounded so good…
First a HUGE HUGE HUGE thankyou to Allan (@spacehopper ) for his amazing generosity, i’m not worthy, no words are enough!
And for sending over the Pro-ject bearing adjuster for me to borrow
Thank you to Tim (@Spider ) for spotting a second hand power supply for me, nice find mate.
Thank you to Dad ( @Navigator ) for providing his steady soldering hands today.
Rob it’s a pleasure and I’m very glad it’s now in good home - it deserves it as it’s given me a lot of great listening.
It is a handsome set up - how do you find the acrylic support plinth ? I stuck some additional vibrapods under the feet of the TT which I thought worked well
The acrylic support plinth really adds to the table, making it look ‘more’. As regards to sound, I honestly don’t know yet.
At the moment it’s sat on a slab of MDF which sits on some sorbothane things, I may try some additional ones inbetween but i’m lucky to have a concrete floor too.
The TT is nice as well as you can experiment with interconnects, which actually do make a difference in this situation
Hi Rob,
Glad you’re sorted and the TT looks fab mate.
Don’t let Kate see it she would want one like it.
Glad the power supply turned out to help.
Look forward to hearing it soon.
Respect to AA members who helped get this lovely TT in operation again.
Freefalls well set up now. Fixing the post damaged table needed 4 steady hands . I’m looking forward to a decent loud listen of it tho it looks pretty enough to charm . And run thro the collection of interconnects . ( just to find out they make no difference of course ) He’s not having my best sounding ones tho! ( oops)
