Very interesting idea Mike. I've not heard of anyone doing that, however it seems like a really good idea to me. I'm in the very early stages of a completely custom table build, and luvdunhill has dropped some hints that I may want to build a plinth that can mount two tonearms for the very same reason. Although we never discussed a mono speaker. That seems like a lot of expense to recreate a whole other TT for mono though. Would you go as high end as your present TT?

No Nate I understand where you're coming from, it just caught me off guard I guess. Looking back at the thread I can see the whiny nature. I was worried that maybe my attempt at humor, or humour had been misunderstood. It's all good.

Yeah, you have a point there. I was just getting ready to let Duggeh know I was just ribbing him, when I realized it had been locked. It just caught me by surprise.

I thought we were having some light hearted fun in the "Is this the anti head-fi forum or what?" thread, only to see it locked very quickly. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't get any kind of malicious sense from those last several posts, just some fun loving, lighthearted ribbing. I noticed the same thing in another thread recently. Are we jumping the gun too early and censoring like the other site? Just my own viewpoint.

The United States had to drop the extra U's so we could better use them in the war effort to save the UK from the Third Reich. You may not like our newer spelling of said words, but I have a feeling that it's preferable to how you'd be spelling them in German otherwise.

If so that would definitely be the best choice.

Duggeh I believe both parts are metal. If you have any experience with JB Weld that's what I'd use, but go sparingly and use a toothpick to get it down inside the slot. It won't ever break loose after JB Weld.

I love Audi, but that was a little dig at Marc, 'cause he owns one.

Tyll we haven't even met yet, but already you're one of my favorite people!

Well yeah, but who'd be caught dead drivin' an Audi?

Kinda like "Shake and Bake"?

Cool solution! I hope they work well. Let us know.

Great idea and an excellent execution!

71 here. I live on a smallish Island, and you can walk anywhere.

It's a great project to build some skill with. Just remember to check the accuracy of your 45 degree blade angle with a speed square. Take the time to lock it in at exactly 45 degrees, and the rest will fall into place. I like to use a perfectly square block of wood to clamp my corners to when gluing up the miters. Just use some wax paper to keep the work from sticking to the block.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. So is your arm pod going to be separate from your plinth?

I'd give you advice, but I'm 47 and single so...

I think my dream rack would be suspended from the ceiling, but that would be a rather permanent addition.

Can't wait to see it after the impregnation process!

Thanks for all the nice comments! I really love the rich look of Wenge, and the masculine color. It is kind of similar, but it

I just finished making the Wenge trim piece to overlay the damaged plinth on the Mitsubishi LT-30 that I bought a few months back. I'm happy with the way it turned out. There is a very slight lip that I milled that covers the top edge of the plinth where there were a few chips. Most of the damage had been at the corner of the plinth where something had struck it and crumpled the MDF. Here's a couple before and some afters...

I'm pretty sure those are plugs.

Wenge! I'm finally going to trim out the Mitsubishi turntable.
