Has anyone any experience with the Turntable kits being sold at this web site?
Turntables
They look interesting but are they worth it? I'm still thinking I should try to find a used Thorens TD160 ot Technics SL1200 or 1300 and rebuild it.
I had one that wouldn't rotate at a constant speed a few years ago and I ended up donating it to the Salvation Army. Now I regret my decision.

I just stumbled upon this thread and this seems like a great kit! The TNT guy did one part of the review but never got to part two!
I actually just placed an order for the kit. The contact (Derek) at Temaad specified a 10% deposit to confirm the order and then a lead time of about 3 weeks.
He also sent me a copy of the "Part 2" TNT Audio article. In the article, the author tests 5 different DIY plinth configurations.

I would love to get my hands on that article! Has he not posted it yet? In that case I understand, but if he has posted it, and it's just my ineptitude that's keeping me from seeing it... well, then please lemme see it! 🙂
I'm leaning hard towards getting one of these as I have a bunch of granite countertop remnants I think will make a wonderful plinth.
Hi Manny, I'm not sure why the article has not been posted yet. If you want, I can e-mail the article. I don't feel 100% sure about posting it here before it can be published on the TNT Audio site.
I was also thinking about granite because I like the way it looks, but after doing some reading I've decided against. I might do a thin layer of slate and then polyester resin, or just the resin itself. I'm still researching...
This was a very interesting page I thought:

Yeah I totally understand about not posting the article. I wouldn't feel it's OK either unless the author gave permission.
I am looking forward to hearing your impressions of the kit. The TNT guy seems to be convinced!

I was wondering the same thing, it could be a variety of causes including just simply running out of money.
If someone made a 99 dollar (ok 100 bucks) kit that includes the hardest thing like the bearing and arm, thousands of people would be all over that.
Hi Derek
I see the Temaad website is not back online yet. Are you still going to re-open? I really hope so. I a month or two from now I will be able to get myself one of your kits, so I was really hoping you would be back up and running.
Thanks,
Deon

I just read through this thread, and wondering what's on the website, I found an older copy here:
