    You are welcome Paul.

    After that the only thing to follow it with is the Blue or maybe the Red album. Had the red in the car for three replays a couple weeks ago Thela Hun Gingeet....Thela Hun Gingeet

    so it's the Blue one next!

     

     

    Red is a great album 

    Mike @dirtmudd also loves it ( think it is his favourite)

  2. I personally prefer accuracy and balanced bass 

    But that could also be due to the music style I listen to - eg Prog , Jazz, classical ,  70s 80s rock 

    And the bass bin has plenty of bass for me 

     

    If one prefers modern music that has copious amounts of low bass, then the bass bin won’t be enough 

    Then I agree that an active sub would be preferable

    Do you have the measurements for this piece?

     

     

    I see you are a new member and welcome to the Klipsch community 

    This information was posted on the previous page 

     

    But I will repost it again just for you 😎

    However and please NOTE - the outside measurements of the bass extension need to coincide with the bass / dog box of your speakers

     

     I have measured the Bass extension cabinet of my La Scalas that were built by the Original Poster - @sootshe

     

    Edit 

    The bass drivers in this build are Crites 

    Some people prefer the tube length to be 7” to 7.5” when using the original klipsch bass drivers

    I finally have my TT set up MOSTLY, now I need a precise way to align the cartridge, Table came with a paper ruler type 2 point protractor but that does not set a precise arm length any suggestions other than Dr Fiekart I simply dont have 250 to spend on 1........................

     

    I use a mirror protractor that I got from EBay 

    But that is for a tangential arm

    A quick brief 

     

    The timber outside the cover area will be cut away and the inside will be routed to sink the turntable flush 

    It will match the dimensions of the plinth frame underneath 

    Measurements are 

    Inside -  400 mm x 310 mm

    Outside - 464 mm x 374mm 

     

    *********

    Originaly I was thinking to cut away everything outside the cover 

    However it does look good to have that offset reverse L on the right side

     

    So I have decided to have a 33 mm ( about 1.5” ) up to 40 mm offset border 

    I can achieve this by cutting the rectangle plinth frame on the wide flat side 

     

    The feet are round alloy with an O ring embedded into the base and they will screw into the underframe

  6. I have redesigned the plinth to be unique and possibly a one of a kind 

     

    Since my last post I had the idea germinate in my minds eye and have visited my local boutique timber merchant looking for a slab offcut 

     

    Well yesterday I found a piece of laminated Tasmanian Oak just the right size, and I am just preparing the measurements and templates for outer cuts and the cutout for the turntable 

    Also decided that the cuts will be done at a local CNC shop for accuracy

     

     

    The idea is to

    1 Have a table top surface for the turntable to sit flush with 

    2 A plinth frame will be attached on the underside - Same as a 19mm standard plinth but thicker @32mm 

    3 All the standard bracing as per original will be made to suit 

    4 The TT cutout of the table top will be reused as a base plate 

    5 Add a different refurbished cover from the past as it suits to perfection. This cover has a darker tint that blends better overall  with the TT and is a little larger 

     

    I have photos of the new design idea 

     

    This is the slab with the frame / plinth timber I will be using behind 

    The frame to the right is an old plinth frame that was damaged but used as an illustration

    The templates are made 

    Outer for the overall top & Inner for the turntable cutout

    The cover with the darker tint I intend using

    And a photo with flash takes the tint away 😃

    I dont have a timeline as Christmas is approaching and I have some side projects to complete first 

     

    HOWEVER 

    I can also use the same technique as above and turn the plank longways 

    Overlap the current 19mm think plinth / frame by up to 10mm to give an overall 3D effect, and better timber end grain matching 

    Then use the original Thorens cover ( as the cover above overlaps in this rotation)

    What say you on the best orientation option ?

  7. I am playing a CD of Rush 2112

     

    Just to keep my brain working while I plan a new but unique one of a kind plinth and cover for the Thorens TD147  ( Will post update on that thread ) 

     

    Yes this release is good to project manage some free flowing ideas 💡 

     

    Artist - Rush

    Title - 2112

  10. Part of a recent record bulk buy is this album 

     

    The album is more raw and organic in the track presentation than the studio recorded versions 

    And I think it is possibly a bootleg with very very good SQ

     

    Artist - Amy Winehouse 

    Title - At The BBC
