SDIESEL77 · 30th August 2011, 12:14 PM

Finally !!!

After months of preparation, talks, drawings and conception my new DIY turntable is finally connected to the amp !

I have to say, I m REALLY impressed by the sound quality compared to my old one (Dual 455) !!

(A new platter mat has been ordered)

Here is the first video made tonight:

Yes, very nice! Welcome to the forum.. (I see this was your very first post)

Some unsolicited advice: If you are interested in experimenting with alternative mats I've found the Herbie's audio lab mats to be a significant upgrade over the hard rubber mats that come with most TT, and they aren't outrageously expensive compared to most other options. (Note I have no affiliation)

Here: Herbie's Turntable Mats I was shocked at how much better one of these mats was compared to the stock mat on my now departed TD-125, and that Herbie's mat is now doing duty on my back up TD-124.

What sort of phono pre-amp are you using? Yeah, I am a vinylphile..
