Hi! Yes, this project :
Hi!
Yes, this project :
1. not about speakers as usual;
2. yes, it's inspired by Well Tempered Lab tonearms;
I do not pretend at all for their glory, they came up with a simple and ingenious thing in their time. My arm (not this one, but really mine) is waiting in the wings, and I do not plan to show it until it is fully ready and tested, but why not play with this?
I liked the idea of trying to make it not out of metal, but entirely out of wood (yes, the arm tube is made of carbon), but all the other parts are made of solid suar wood and are developed, CNC machined and finished by hand. Well, a couple of pieces of copper went into this project also )
What I want to tell you, I did not expect such a result on the first try! Yes, it has a lot to improve, but in general, with correct calculations, installation and configuration took me 10 minutes. I pre-made an installation and template and cartridge protracktor, printed it and everything else went straightforward!
And, if you do not take into account my mistake (or rather, an ultimatly stupid oversight) regarding necessity to screen the arm tube so that there is no hum like in case of improper grounding and interference, then even with the budget Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, it plays very well!
I think that after the revision, the Sumiko Pearl cartridge will be installed on it and this thing will be the second freestanding tonearm. And will see, how Rega Exact can beat it after )))
