Cool man, nice progress. Looks like we're about in the same boat. I made an adaptor for my K8, and I've some sound cutting. although its really really quiet right now. Based on the discussions above, I'm trying to rework the torque and the stylus holder to be a bit more Neumann like, which will hopefully help the sound quality. Eventually I want to try to make my own coils, but thats way down the line.julsdylan wrote:update, the torque is now screw on so its way more rigid , i made amounting system, i tried to cut some record by plugging the the head direct the output on laptop and old the head by hand and moving it slowly to cut the grove, it worked but it was hard to find the groove to play it back , i got some playback so its encouraging.
Did you build an overhead transport? If so I'd love to see what you have going on. I've been looking into some linear stages for possible use as an overhead transport.
