I use a seperate adapter .
So Erik,
What if any effect have you noticed with the blue LEDs lighting the disk?
Curious to know if this does anything at all. Mine sounds very good at this point..
BTW, the blue led looks pretty cool lighting the display.
I'm thinking of the blue light approach when I disassemble the transport to install clearaudio's clamp & puck assembly.

I'm assuming that a NOS TDA1543 or NOS TDA1541 would be a popular choice. As soon as I get my Shinqaclone together I'm going to test it with both.

Briefly touching on the topic of DACs. I have a NOS TDA1543 and a NOS TDA1541. The TDA1543 is one of Peter's designs and while it is VERY good it's my experience that a good NOS TDA154A takes things to the next level.
Regards,
Dan

Perhaps the method shown here could be adapted, by applying the leverage against a piece of wood placed between the platter and the metal frame?

The granite is quite 'ringy', so will need to be damped somehow, perhaps by attaching bitumen pads to the back.
And then..... the flashing blue lights!
Hello Jonners
Inspired also by audio1st I´m im progress building same structure and planning to bond the granite base to 9mm mdf underneath using 2 components stone compound adesive. Any thoughs?
Cheers and thanks

I've heard these blue lights work best

Ha! I saw that news article just a few days after attending a Rush concert complete with green lasers. I had to read it to make sure it wasn't me.
Hopefully, my transports will be arriving soon so I can get started on this project. I've ordered a Chime DAC kit from Jim Hagermann so I'm expecting great things from my new digital sources. I'm not sure how I'll mount the transport and the DAC so they'll probably live on some plywood for a little while.

Today I did built a 5 Volt regulator
(my super reg is still not in the mail
)
So I can fool around with that.......
I also made a toc-switch (the wooden peg is becoming quite a hinderness when you play dozens of cd's) and a switch to get the cd illuminating blue-led on/off....
When I switch (being not in the optimal listening position) on/off my impression is that I can hear NO difference...sorry to say (so far )...
However I will investigate further...experimenting with the intensity and the led- position.
I will also kindly ask my wife to switch
(the toggle that is
)

CeeVee said:This might be a stupid question, havent followed the issue closely, but has anybody used hall-effect switch for TOC switch ?
That way all we would need to do is use the metalic layer of CD to switch TOC reading.
Interesting idea, unfortunately IIRC the metalization is non magnetic so I suspect a hall effect switch would not work.
