I bet it sounds awesome. How much do you think the stand and player together will weigh?
I have not a clue.....but I definitely have a thing for WEIGHT....
My speakers weigh approx. 250 Kg a piece
My pre-amp 132 kg...
My ebony rack 80 kg...
So I take it that this standalone cd transport will be an appropriate match..
Hiii Erik
Hiii
Can you take a picture to show us what kind of audio
system weight approx 452 kg not include your new CD
regards, jeffry

Sorry but that is way of topic...I'll post the links
Anyway today I made the tiptoes for the cd transport rack..
I used ebony and stainless steel tiptoes and made M8 on one end to be able to level the rack quite exact later on and on the other end the woodthread for into the legs...
It was quite a job but very satisfied...

shigaclone TOC -skipping and searching
i want to report a couple of possibly helpful observations relating to the TOC (Table Of Contents) reset.
1. when playing a new CD without resetting the TOC the laser head spends a lot more time searching for tracks making it advisable to always reset the TOC for each CD.
2. if the same CD is removed after TOC reset (something i do on occasion to center the magnet) and then put back it will skip intermittently. this never happens if the TOC is reset after replacing the CD.
hope this helps.

I've built that rack quite some time ago, so posting any impressions now could be misleading. What I remeber though, ML31.5 sounded better on that rack that sitting on air suspension platform, placed directly on concrete floor. That rack was built with ML gear in mind:

As to Shigaclone, the rack probably provided similar improvement as adding screw on clamp on CD transport, but the result was probably rather subtle. The most improvements I got with springs and copper/bronze chassis.

Hi there!
I tried te make my shigaclone. But failed. I did evrything you all did, but the 8V won,t go to the spindledrive. On both drives I got 3,65, on both poles. The 8V is going to the HWCap IC, but it comes out with 3.65V. Is the HWcap out of function, or is there something else I forgot? Thanks allready for the answer, Grtz Teake
