Looks good Myles! The SRA base looks great under the table.
Looks excellent Myles
Did the platter/motor come separate to the table?
what took so long ???? It looks like a mighty fine kit.
Myles, very nice. the JMW looks smart in black. did you snap any pics of motor drive system?
Looking good! Hows it sounding so far?
and how long did this process take ? You like the long comfortable screw, don't you ?Lots of little things like putting the little cups under the SRA bases is a real PITA. The platter positioning took a little while. Had a little issue with the cartridge analyzer and then realized was frame shifted over one band on the test record so had one good, one band that didn't work, and minor levelling. Took a little getting used to working with the new printed arm since the CW is a lot tighter so makes it harder to set VTF; OTOH, once you set VTF, then it pretty much stays in place when you set azimuth. And maybe it was a little less since took a break in the middle to go back to work for an hour But bottom line is its up and running.

Lot's of different roads go to Rome
My fiancee was listening to the 45 rpm test pressing of Shelby Lynne and says, did you hear that? I never heard her say that.
Well it's all pretty preliminary since the table still has to break-in and still will have to fiddle with the SRA (but sounds to my ears darn close and that little Millenium Audio Vision tool really helps in getting a first approximation. Ran the tonearm wires on the Cable Cooker but the motor and bearing will need a little time to settle in. Let's just say there's absolutely no, read nada comparison between this and anything else HW has made. Explosive like tape. Unbelievable resolution the low end is again so tape: ultra clean, dynamic and defined with the Atlas.
My fiancee was listening to the 45 rpm test pressing of Shelby Lynne and says, did you hear that? I never heard her say that. May put the Ikeda 9TT in the other arm Th and maybe (?) Bill will bring the Kai over on Friday. Considering how good the 9TT is, would really like to hear their all out effort. Then this weekend will set up the Transfig. Proteus in the second arm.
Sounds promising. Sounds like you may have to find a way to keep it as your reference.
Myles, congratulations on getting engaged! As for the DirectDrive, I want one.
Looking good Myles. This is a TT I really want to hear.
Do you have any plans to review the SMART protractor? I would be interested to see how accurate it is compared to the single null point VPI jig.
