You've made an extremely neat job of cutting the layers out - I'm impressed  Steve. |

That is some nice work so far! Clearly you know how to work plywood... With all the science and pseudo-science around, we all forget that neither accommodates something infinitely more important than mass, strand orientation, damping factor, or the amount of cat-shibble bibble etc in bentonite: the sonic attributes of craftsmanship exhibited in a custom make by the prime listener...  As I find with every build on this site, I know I will enjoy seeing this come to fruition! |

Very nice work, what kind of arm are you going to use, looks like an SME cutout.

Thanks! Been busy with other things as of late, and have not been posting. Yes, I'm putting an SME 3009 Series II Improved with fixed headshell and damping addition. Have received both the Russian Idler wheel and the Lencohell mat for it. Made an RCA adapter for the arm.   Also made a plate for the phono cable/ground.      Painting the IEC and the RCA plates same blue as the top plate  And this is not finished, but you'll get the idea of my color scheme  |

Thank you!!!
Can’t wait to finish sanding and getting a solid coat of lacquer on top of the paint and polishing to a mirror finish.

Very nice. Particularly liked the RCA plates that you made. Clean, soothing color scheme.
