Post a picture of your turntable

Cù Faoil said:
TT was an experiment in using laminates of varying densities to decouple vibration and noise. Motor (Linn) is mounted to ply that is inside a box of balsa that is held in cutout in the top layer by silicone rubber.
Top layer is glued to lower layers with a thick rubber type glue. Bearing is Teres and platter was turned from 25mm acrylic by a local machine shop. Arm is an Acos GST-1 that my father bought in the 70s and still sounds superb. Cart is the 2M Black.

You should start a thread with more pics/diagrams if you have them. I'd love to see more.
 
TW-Acustic is based not too far from where I live so I thought it might be a good idea to get one of their tables, thinking about support and all that. Well, things spun a bit out of control and now it's a Raven AC with four arms on it. Err...

That's borderline obscene, but in a good way. :thmbsp:

Wow, that is quite a beast! How much does that thing weigh anyways? :scratch2:

And what is that, 2" (or whatever the metric equivalent is) threaded rod for the shelf? Sick.
 
New VTI Rack

Here's my finished analog rig on a VTI Rack. On top is the LT-30/SAE1000e, then the O2 headphone amp and Pearl 2 phono pre, some hi-res digital players (that don't get much use), and the homebuilt integrated Pass DCB1 pre and F5 poweramp. I can't get enough of this rig :music:

It weighs in about 55 kg with all four arm bases attached. Quite a challenge to get this up on the shelf.

The shelf as such is basically an XXL version of a DIY rack suggested on the website TNT-Audio: http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/flexye.html
I chose 30 mm threaded stainless steel bars instead of the 18 mm they suggest on TNT Audio and I also used 30 mm plywood instead of the 20 mm MDF to make the rack a slight bit more sturdy.
 
There are just no words that can adequately describe how beautiful that Teres is.
