Thanks for all who sent me mail about the Photobucket links expired. All photos are now moved to flickr which is more friendly. It took me a while to understand the new Audiokarma layout and function, its still very well organized, thanks again. Wish everyone found these photos and numbers...

Dear Kevin, Thank you for your message and compliment, I am sorry it was almost overlooked. Chat over the phone will be great but I live in Hong Kong. But don't worry, please feel free to address any problem during your build, It will be my pleasure to share all I know. I think most...

Good job !! Cool like a bullet !

Dear Joe, I am sure you can build it too ! The machine was probably over designed or using too many components. If I could access to a milling machine, part number could be reduced and became more friendly to build. I tried using only pure distilled water too, but it did not work because...

I would like to appreciate everyone's nice comment again! Its been about 18 months now, the RCM is still running strong. The rotary brush last longer than I think, 3M really makes great stuffs. There were about 1000 LPs cleaned so far. I may have to brew my own cleaning solution or I will...

Brother, it is way beyond just a diy turntable, its a piece of art! Seems like it will sounds as good as it looks. Good Job. Frank.

it is how the damping system looks like on a Oracle Paris Turntable. The arm is actually an OEM Pro-ject 9cc carbon fiber arm with few addition parts. Oracle claims the oil damping system will optimize the stock arm potential. [photo by VinylEngine Moon Unit.]

She was cleaner at 19...I mean the vinyl. I got the 21 vinyl sealed.... found finger print and dust all over the surface, even worst, the hole was off centre and smaller than the platter shaft.

I brought my pair of 57 back by a small truck. Make sure you remove the small wooden legs. Wrap the speaker with a few layers of bubble paper to avoid damage to soft aluminum grill. I laid it flat on floor but put it upright on seat will be just fine. Power up a few hours for charging, then...

Its a good suggestion, I may try to do it agin with more audience. In fact, I agree no fuse is even better. We have to use British standard power system and receptacle here. Most of the audiophile have either removed the connector fuse or changed to IEC socket (even its illegal..) In most...

Thanks everyone! I did the test just because I need something to convince my ear. Besides of the 32 dollars, I found the extra one dollar for the other 3 tubes was in fact well spent. Frank.

Thanks JoeESP9 for your comment. Its a good point of the tube texture, thats why I put it in the consideration before the test. I pick only the cap area for the installation inside the pocket. May be I should get a helper for this kind of "blind" test next time. Anyway, don't take this test too...

I used a black pocket to hide all fuses for installation, so actually I did not know what I plugged in. Frank.

You can take a guess before scrolling down to the final result below…… Well, I was sweating when I opened up the cups. Cooper Bussmann fuse was not bad at all, except the leaking of metal brightness and juicy feeling like cryo...

I threw all 4 fuses in a black pocket. Slip my hands inside the pocket, install the fuse into the cartridge without looking at it. Test each one by 30 minutes of music, then hide it inside a tea cup in sequence, again, with my eyes closed. Fair enough. Here are my test equipments...

I have this sweet C2300 tube preamp for about 6 months. Few days ago it suddenly blew-out the fuse without notice. Pull out the cartridge. Surprisingly, it was only a tiny 250mA glass tube fuse with a slow blow wire in spiral shape. I remember the sale person did emphasize that the fuse...

great time, priceless. !!

The tonearm base surface finish looks so cool to me ! Is there a Shelter cartridge at the corner?

Thank you Bluepower, lemans1000, aphoticism and all your nice feedback!! Aphoticism, here is the YouTube link, thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-b3NmYM710&sns=em Frank

hey dnpainting, this is amazing !! I like the idea of automated brush and vacuum. The extended switch panel is real cool and pro ! Frank
