Great work, you could be onto something here.I know parts can be a bit of a wait with WTL sometimes. And the cup adjustment with the wrenches is very clunky and difficult to make small incremental changes. That tweak alone is very useful, not to mention the tone arm.
Very cool. Bruce Thigpen 3d prints counterweight beams for his ET2 tonearms.I have been printing some audio components here and there. What filament did you use?
This is really cool, nice job! Looks like a Hagerman Cornet in the background.
Nice piece of engineering all the way around I really like the way you've incorporated a "saddle" where the arm tube attaches to the head shell. Really locks in that 19 degree relationship. I wish the original Amadeus would have featured a similar approach.
Looks really awesome, I am considering building something similar myself, though I am planning on machining the parts on a lathe and CNC mill, possibly print some of them.Any chance you could share your files Scott? Alternatively, if you still have the files from the calypso site, the link there is down
Very nice DIY project. I especially like the threaded cup idea for easily adjusting the depth of silicone goo. Hagerman Cornet 2 is very nice. And if you put in NOS tubes from the ‘50’s it moves up a few notches performance wise. I built one and used it with my Amadeus for several years. I now have his Reference Trumpet , the model before the current gen, the one that stands too tall to put on a conventional rack. That is a major step up from Cornet 2. If you are patient they do appear on the used market. Again, hats off on what you have done here.
