Hi Neo, David, Roscoeiii, etc.
You folks (and maybe others looking in) seem like you probably have about as good a view as to the layout of most all things Vinyl Circle. I'm wondering if you could point me to any old threads where it might make sense to add some detailed descriptions of a couple of other DIY adaptations folks may be interested in looking at. Specifically, I have:
A) 1 Hz turntable isolation stage. It is built onto a typical TT wall mount shelf already providing reasonable floor isolation in the vertical direction. It then effectively floats the TT platform on 9 inch pendulum links giving good isolation from wall in/out movements due to subwoofer LF pressure waves in the room. No doubt not for everybody but it was fairly straightforward to build and it seems like the kind of situation I had would not be too uncommon. (that of wanting some of both floor and wall isolation in an otherwise ordinary house sort of structure)
B) Platter mods to accept a ring clamp. Specifically I modified an old VPI platter to allow it to work with the VPI ring clamp - that these days mates up to slightly larger diameter platters in newer VPIs. The general approach could be applicable to any number of other platters/TTs/clamps.
Thanks for any suggestions.
All the best!
John
Hi John,
I think you ought to start new threads. There have been quite a few on floor stands, isolation, etc. and one really good one that I can't seem to find at the moment. Your pendulum thing sounds unique and I'm very interested to see what it's about.
The same goes for the periphery adaptor. I'm sure a lot of us would like to be able to use an outer ring clamp. I think these deserve new threads.
