That looks gorgeous!

Quite, quite astonishing. My Project has developed an inferiority complex.

I agree. Your custom turntable is absolutely gorgeous. So when is S2 going to start offering custom tts? After all, the woodwork is easy.

Yeah seriously. There's a mailing list I want to be on.

I'll consider custom TT builds, but I'd rather not make the same rig over and over.

Anyone with a desire can contact me to inquire further. It was fun enough to make me want to build some similar designs, or some really offbeat ones too.

I thought a Technics SP10 in a really nice plinth with an RB300 would be sweet!

you should post some impressions once you decide to go with a SUT or upping the gain on the beta22

Yeah, once I hear the Cinemag I'll decide which way to go.

Off topic, but at some point once I get the NAD orthos I'd like you to compare them to the T50 V1, since these are supposed to be T50 V2s.

What amp do you mainly use with the T50, the SP?

Ha, thanks Douglas. Once you are finally satisfied with one of your prototypes I'd love to work with you on the final product.

strangely enough, I really like them with the Millet Tube Portable... I'm working on another amp specifically designed with orthos in mind that will be part of my preamp.

Ok, so Ima resurect this from the dead as I can remember the impressive pics in my head. I've built up a vinyl collection and have preamp kit but have no turntable. There is a used U-Turn Orbit 1st gen that needs a belt at the flea market for $200. For another $150 on top of that I can have a new one with the 2nd Gen arm and either a Grado Green stylus or the Iso feet. Or $399 for both with a que lever.

Now, I could do a Technics SP-15 or 25 build but total cost on that build would be $1000 minimum just to get something out of it. So, if I'm gonna spend that, are there any diy options that could yeild better results? I have access to a cabinet shop so I can have wood cut for a plinth and other things. I like the builds that have the motor seperate for better isolation. All that being said I have no idea where to start and could only think of this thread.
