My friends, the gentleman is 74 or 75 years of age vengeance. I guess He´s earned it! But maybe He´ll go on recording some more albums. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wood block gives me an idea Idea #1 - look for some laminated beam ? for suitability but a little pricey Idea #2 - son in law lays timber flooring so I can get his offcuts and go wild with the glue Idea #3 - find a suitable butcher’s block over time 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Picked this one up just for @MicroMara since he spied it with his wittle eye last week when I posted my "Aura" photo, which included a pile on the coffee table. Yup, he did. I can tell you one thing though. That youtube video is garbage. This is one KILLER album to "hear" on your rigs. Clean, moves and just silently draws you into it. Amazing! 1989 remaster and wowzer it's dialed in! Carlos Santanal & his band, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, Canned Heat, Los Lobos, George Tlhorogood and Charlie Musslewhite? Yuuuup, it outta be good! Thank me later! lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I have ever seen a barn in Australia Big steel sheds - Yep lots of them Below is part of the plinth build sequence of photos that are part of the feet section On the lower / last photo the TT is sitting on - I have utilised some exotic and now very rare tuning feet made by a reclusive designer, made similar to the Harmonix TU-666S but improved They are an absorption constrained layer technology type that release energy as heat, and can also be turned 360degrees for a different absorbtion rate for fine tweaking or to get a different tone 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then your options are limited, being steel structures. Have you done any reading on stone, or man made material? I just did a quick search & your list of material is infinite.

Hi, Haaaa! one of my dreams when I started serious hifi in 1978, as the Ultimo was too expensive I bought an Ortofon MC10 + transformer STM72 in 1979. Then as I started working in 1980 I offered myself one of the first Dynavector: a Karat 23R with the ruby cantilever, what a marvel of softness, but very fragile ! 🤩 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
