DIY VPI Based turntable
Go see my YouTube video for the turntable I just finished.YouTube - CABoisvert's Channel
This is a custom turntable I built for my best friend, Dan. Using a 20lb VPI TNT Platter & Bearing, a VPI Motor with a VPI SDS Controller. The Tonearm is a Clearaudio Satisfy with an Audio Technica 12S (for testing only in this video. His permanent cartridge is a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Ebony). Anchored to a dead 45lb lead filled and spiked MDF plinth holding an internally damped armboard with a rubberized coating. I think it sounds amazing... but I'm biased!

Looks very nicely finished, and from what you describe should sound very good indeed.

But not the turntable... it weighs too much.
