Description

I love diy. Made my own phone- loudspeaker - net cables in silver and carbon. The sound of horn and 300b love it.

Now I am tube rolling.

Since last I have made a Garrard 401 with a Schroder tonearm and a lot of tweaks. I dont belive how good this old girl sounds.

Lately I have made a tonearm that is an intermediate step between a Schroeder and a Well Tempered tonearm. Golf ball has a magnet on the underside life and are immersed in a jar with oil and a magnet. It plays great. Arm is made of a golf club.

Hello Hancro

While I built garrrard 401 I had a Sota star saphifire with a copy Schroeder arm and a linn lp12 and a Michell with a Moerch dp6 tonearm and the homemade you se in the pictures. The difference between these gramophones and this I play on now are the other playd sounds while this one plays music .

They are my diy version of Eichmann`s topper just better. Testet them against toppers. They remove vibrations from the items. Yours Ole
