That I can’t wait for my Thorens cartridge mounting guide to arrive so I can mount my Ortofon Blue 2M.

 

Well, that was my second thought. My first was, crap this sounds better than I thought it could.  A lot better.

make sure you get the under mount..

2m blue verso...how did Steve  treat

you...? I have been eyeing his  amps

for a while now....

Enjoy. I still use the TD-160C I bought in 1976, a splurge at $230 (+$60 for a Shure V15-III) back then while I was in school.

 

If you want to make some minor mods:

1-Get rid of the fiberboard bottom and replace it with 3/4" plywood

2- Put some Dynamat (or similar material) on the inside of the base 

3- Consider changing the small rubber feet to ones that will give better isolation.

Well that's correct if you don’t buy a head shell and mod it. I can’t help myself,  so I committed blasphemy and modded a head shell. Forgive me Sir Dirtmudd for I have sinned.  

 

Steve at Decware is an absolute joy.  Richieb inspired me to try SET amps after hearing his Jubes. It took about 5 months to get the Rachel but it was worth the wait. Really need a good tube preamp now to move it up a notch.  Stay tuned.

The guy I bought it from did everything but the feet.  It’s a nice table.  

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

Nope, I learned how to disassemble a Thorens head shell to allow cartridge mounting through the top. 

 

I did mod Matt's La Scalas so they sound better than they look. 

 

Fastrac horns

dual phase plug K55's with new diaphragms

Deang crossovers

Cool, my favorite LP from college. Frampton lived here in Cincinnati for many years.

If that was the goal, I can appreciate that.  Sacrifices must be made.

Was there any other goal in college?

I can't remember, except maybe to finally leave with that coveted piece of toilet paper.

I will concede that was my parent's goal. Forty years later, I’m happy it worked out. 

 

And that the chicks really liked Frampton.

You do what you have to do.  I didn't need Frampton's help.
