Yeah, that's what I'm talking about

Those pods are certainly pretty, but I think I can build a better one out of lead. I think that Dave E can build a better one than I can with his years of vibration control experience. Dave has promised me one after Xmas, so I'm using the time to recap the new project turntable- a Victor TT-81 from the early 80's. All the old electrolytics are out, old joints that looked the least bit suspect reflowed, and I'm waiting on the shipment from Digikey.

Well, this thread has been in mothballs for about 6 months, but there is activity coming...
One of our resident wise men has built a tonearm pod, using some of his pixie dust that makes the Uber Buss special. It's arriving tomorrow!!!!!

Photos to follow.

Yep, I know. Today was one o those days where you're operating on 2 hours sleep the night before. Our old Jack Russell is well past his 21st year and some nights we don't get much sleep. He's not in pain, but blilnd, deaf, senile, and fragile to the point of stumbling when walking. Last night was a bad one, and today I was basically a zombie. I'll make an effort to get all things mounted and set up tomorrow.

Dang, that's very old. I hope things go as best as possible with him. I know I'm pretty attached to my dog(s now).

I thought my Rhodesian Ridgeback lived long to make it to 17 1/2. Haven't ever heard of a dog living into their 21st year. Hope your sweet Jack Russell is able to continue to keep you company.

Ok, here's the photos. The first one is the pod Dave built for me next to one that i built... one is professional and one is... functional. Both are heavy. Mine is just a piece of mesquite on a lead base; Dave's is made of neutron star core material. Or something like that.

This one shows the flaw that Dave was worried about. Can't see it? Neither can I. Next to the pod is my 21 1/2 year old listening partner, Rufus.

Last is the new pod and a JVC arm.
