My 'nearly' new PT Too

[_D_S_J_R_]

Pardon, you mean the cable tie as pictured and the holes in the sub-chassis together with cam washers to help set the fecking thing up? Nothing at all to do with Linn. I give up, I really do. Wish I hadn't bothered now

O Dave.

You try and keep alive a point vis a vis cable dressing long after its lost its relevancy and then you flounce off when some one gets fed up of your irrelevant points.

If you knew anything about PTs you would immediately understand what an insight letting the cable fall free is. It took me months of fucking about with it before I had the eureka moment of drilling a hole in the shelf. A solution zebbo came to all on his own using his own intelligence not received instruction.

PS . whilst irrelevant I liked the photos of another tt

OK, you and Zebbo - and now Dave, will drill and have drilled holes in shelves and furniture to let their cables hang free. Great for them and you - well done But what if the deck needs to be moved, or, heaven forbid, transported somewhere? No problem, perhaps Arthur does or did this too. I never sold PT until the Tarantella days so don't know, apart from the fact the Tarantella was claimed by PT staff to me to be better than the springy ones that went before - I couldn't quite accept that, so my bad probably.

You like see something else on another turntable? Well just one then, taken to help someone in need as my words cannot explain totally - and then I'll let this thread continue without further crapping on my part... This how a Lab 80 auto trips



And that pic couldn't be further from a PT if it tried

My Anniversary comes with a "flexi-link" which dispenses with an arm cable and terminates to RCA sockets on the back of the turntable. This makes suspension set up so much easier.

A neat idea which should be possible to copy, if you are not too concerned about changing the originality of your deck

[zebbo]

When I had my Audiomods arm built I had it wired directly to the RCA sockets and it is the perfect set-up. However the WB arm comes with a captive lead and I didn't want to start cutting it about.

Zebbo is of course a professional carpenter , whilst "drilling holes in furniture would apply to me , I suspect that is doing zebbo a disservice .

Drilling a hole in the support under my turntable isn't an option. The shelf is toughened glass! Probably not ideal but there are large rubber isolators between it and the plinth so plenty of room for the cable to exit.

No, it is just a hole made with a hole saw. I'm not sure I would have done it in anything other than the top of my rack, (rack? Boo hiss !!), which I had replaced with 20mm black acrylic. It was originally toughened glass and changing to the 20mm acrylic gave an appreciable improvement in SQ, I kid you not.

I am with you on Glass .I have never liked my TT on glass and I have tried it in my variations and rooms .
