Hello from Minnesota

[AluminatiSound]

Hi my name is Matt and i have been making audio equipment for years and recently have been making and selling gear. I'm a very experienced machinist and designer and love what i do.

For the longest time i was know as Kraemer Designs but changed to Aluminati Sound this year

I could post pictures of my past projects but don't know if too many pictures will slow the forum bandwidth down.

Hi and welcome to the forum. By all means, post a few pictures. It won't be an issue.

Okay here we go

Btw, everything is made out of solid slabs, blocks or plates of 6061 aluminum Most of my projects are very heavy.

It all started with faceplates and yes it progressed very rapidly since then.



12 outlet power distribution box i made.











The beginning of my TT~1 Turntable





Lead shot chamber





On display at Needle Doctor



What it ended up being after slimming things done. Later i sold it for $4,000 and started dreaming up TT~2

The beginning of my MMp~1 MM phono pre amp





Finished and runs off batteries for no noise issues















Beginning of TT~2. The platter and plinth assembly. There is a .005" gap between the two, a piece of paper barely slides in.





A few changes at the end and its finished. Gone and yes i am starting a new table design.

Welcome to the forum Matt!

Nice pics! So how much does it cost to buy the raw chunk of aluminum like the one in your pre-amp before machining?

It was around $100 for the block and cover. Took about 5 hours to program and machine

 

[amirm]

That's not bad. What type of machine do you use to shape it?

I used a 3 Axis CNC mill. Very powerful and fast.

This is a video of that machine i used. Making some delrin feet, for one of my projects.

Hi Matt, very nice to see you here, and with your master pieces. ...Indeed they are gorgeously well designed. :b

The very best to you and to the love of your life and to all your family,
Bob

Sensational metal work! very very cool...I wonder if people from WBF are going to contact you for some custom work? If I could think of something...I certainly would! Really looks great.

 

[NorthStar]

I think that's one of the ideas Lloyd.

Amir, it's not like it is in his living room, or even in his basement; it's at the shop where Matt works. :b
...Eventually his own shop.

Jeff Rowland --- LOOK OUT!

I would love some custom cases for (a) music server (b) Oppo (c) a few others.

His artwork would be the IDEAL case to use over some less than top end piece of electronics and used in a "sighted test" with some other well known and highly respected product.

VERY nice work.

 

[NorthStar]

Matt also makes some nice Aluminati Record Weights. ...He'll show you, I know he will. :b

 

[AluminatiSound]

Here ya go guys and Bob











I have made around 90 of these and sell them on many forums for $55 shipped in the US but do not believe i can sell them here.

 

[AluminatiSound]

Amir,

Is there a section where i could possibly sell these
