Jeremy, I really like your creativity.

If you do happen to make it to the fest, you'll meet a lot of likeminded souls who share your passion and don't mind listening to the build stories. (unlike your friends who are no doubt bored listening about all things audio, as are mine.)

Wooah!
Thats a really cool turntable and I love the drumstick arm. Does it enhance ryhthm?

actually, as funny as it sounds , I do think it enhances the percussion a bit, makes it sound slightly more real and way more kick drum slam, although I think its the wood and not the fact that it is a drumstick, but I guess you never know, the one I am working on now is a found piece of oak, so I will be to compare the two soon....hopefully

I would really love to come to the fest guys, I am supposed to be in germany at the end of august, if I am around I will come up for sure, I love talking audio and yes everyone I know is tired of hearing about turntables, bearings, tonearms, platters, armboards, etc, thanks for the warm welcome guys!

There is the Pacific North West Audio Society Pacific Northwest Audio Society to look into and a very active AES chapter with lots of audio engineers in town too.
