Yes Mike. That’s what I mean.
One day I will go visit you...and I will bring my own coffee.

Aha aha! Talk about playing old vinyl, I found that while unboxing more records today.

This was the other one I found, must have played it to death the grooves are as wide and deep as Grand Canyon!

here's 2.
7-8 years ago i discovered the Jeton label, a German direct to disc label from 1978-1981 that put out a dozen or so dtd titles. i bought them all before i'd ever read any posts about them. at the time i only really liked 2 of them. the Chris Barber Band and the Ray Brown/Alimeda Midnight Seneade.....and posted about them. now lots of people have those 2 titles.
today i played 'Blues and Boogie Explosion' 1003320, and Monty Alexander 'Solo' 1003310. the Monty Alexander is a fantastic sounding piano pressing, which previously was too shrill and edgy sounding. and the Blues and Boogie the same.
now with the Taiko Tana treatments on the TS-140 under my NVS and on the TS-150 under my dart pre along with other signal path tweaks such as the Tripoint Elite both those are really amazing sounding. and their vivid truth now serves the music magically. they will be demo discs going forward. 'Solo' will be a go to example of what piano can sound like on vinyl, the 'Boogie' is warp 9 big band and super alive and energetic. both are just great music besides having outstanding sonics, relatively rare for dtd.
both are highly recommended.
OTOH i played a couple TBM pressings from the 90's that still sound like crap. :-(
Yes Mike. That’s what I mean.

dear Tang,
i look forward to that day.

The LP-S is on a Bayonet Mount Head shell sitting on the bench with the rest of the players waiting to be called into the game. They all get their chance to play....
Armboard angle is very extreme Tang I wonder if it's just the CAD aesthetic or actually needed because of the geometry of the arm.
david
It's the angle of the armboard as he has it setup on the table, usually the armboards are in a straight line with tt's corners, wether 9"/10" or 12", in his CAD the armboard is angled to the extreme. The way he has it you lose one armpost

David and Tang,
it is a great help for you guys to discuss these issues here on WBF. i'm learning so much with every post. and it will be easy to return for reference.
thank you,
Mike

Looks cool Tang. I would strongly consider an arm board redesign much like David has envisioned and executed so as not to give up a tone arm slot.
David, for tonearms which don’t have SME-style armboard mounts or SME-style adapters what do we do? Does the tonearm maker have to machine a tonearm base hole and bolt holes in an AS-2000 tonearm clamp as shown in the SAT drawing?
