For exquisite hi fi apps such as our bud Roscoe proposes, a balls to the wall approach goes without saying...in other words, he might pop for an additional cutting board.


Actually, for the balls to the walls version, I'm thinking soapstone.... :music-listening:

Roscoe,

You're not using a separate motor then: the motor will be in the bottom of the plinth? I forget things so easily.

The Garrard is a rim drive, so the motor is under the platter. That's why the legs are so long, otherwise there wouldn't be enough clearance for the motor....

Wow - 55 lbs! :o I like that you're using a wooden plinth for proof of concept and development before ringing out the final details. Walking before Running... :thumbup:
