swt61 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 I love the tape used to spin the platter too. Mine looks like any old VHS tape. That one's very shiny. Glad you got everything together. It looks fantastic, very solid, manly turntable. Congrats! Quote
tyrion Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Thanks! Ken, I suppose it's possible that I could eventually can upgrade the platter, then the plinth, then the motor and on and on but not for a while. Edited January 10, 2009 by tyrion Quote
tyrion Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 By the way, the beautiful maple (matches my speakers) sandbox was made by swt61. There was some minor damage during shipping so I don't have sand in it at the moment. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Real nice looking rig you got there, Mike! What's the silver unit next to BH? Quote
tyrion Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Real nice looking rig you got there, Mike! What's the silver unit next to BH? Thanks Haj. That's my Berendsen preamp. I am probably holding off on the Modwright and keeping this for now. I'll see how it mates with the McCormack DNA-.1 Rev A before thinking about changing. Quote
n_maher Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Congrats Mike! And as long as you're not in for an all-nighter the beta should survive ok. Quote
tyrion Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Congrats Mike! And as long as you're not in for an all-nighter the beta should survive ok. It really sounds nice. I'm listening to Ray Brown Soular Energy on vinyl and the bass is huge. I'll move to can's now. It's bee a couple of hours. Quote
n_maher Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Move to the BH while you're at it. On a side note, I'm pleased as punch that the beta doesn't look out of place in a stack consisting of some pretty $$ gear. Quote
tyrion Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Move to the BH while you're at it. The Beta deserves some headphone love unless you are saying I should give it a rest. The Beta fits right in. Quote
n_maher Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I'm probably just playing the role of nervous dad. Quote

aardvark baguette Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Jeez, that TT looks like it must weigh a smooth buck and a half Quote
tyrion Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 The base is 26 lbs and the platter is 20 lbs. The battery and motor are about 27 lbs (all according to the fedex tracking updates). Quote
GPH Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Sweet looking rig Mike. It truly deserves a bigger room though with a jazz painting or poster in the back... kind of like Voltron's room. Quote
tyrion Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Sweet looking rig Mike. It truly deserves a bigger room though with a jazz painting or poster in the back... kind of like Voltron's room. He's a rich city lawyer. I'm just a poor country lawyer. I have a guy coming buy to give me an estimate on building the garage room. I'm not sure I want to risk it with my brother in law and I doing it. In the meantime, I'm probably going to move the build in cabinets and desk in the office to another room and move my gear back in there. Quote
guzziguy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks! Ken, I suppose it's possible that I could eventually can upgrade the platter, then the plinth, then the motor and on and on but not for a while. Oops, forgot to say congrats on the table. It looks great and I hope to hear it someday, though that will probably be at jp#s' or Voltron's. Quote

Steve: I believe he will sell the tape separately, or at least provides a link to where it can be bought... Quote
MASantos Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 tirion can you give some more info on the TT? I searched for a thread but couldn't find it. Quote
