Anyone Tried The Tizo Acrylic Platter On A Project

[TheAppleChap]

So it must sort of hang down below the top of the sub letter. I think theres about a 10 mm gap below my regular platter so this must be a lot smaller gap between the bottom of your platter and the plenty?

Yes it´s a realy small gap now. The RPM 5 have a platter more like a RPM 9 or a RPM 10 now.

Can't believe how good that looks!

Did you have to raise the arm a lot to maintain the VTA on your 2M black.

Also subjectively, looks+sound do you recomend it for the price?

[wellman]

I think I had to raise the VTA about one or two mm. Then I had to do an asimuth adjustment.
Because I get my RPM 5 on the second hand market, with speed box II and Clearaudio cable included, I could afford to make an upgrade.
The Tiezo platter was little expensive, I thought in the beginning, but worth the price when I tried it. I was surprised that a heavy platter could make so much for the resolution... still with a smooth and silky treble. Vinyl playing is realy sensitive.

Wellman...I like your pictures, but can you shot a wide shot of you TT? I would like to see the whole thing with the platter.

Thanks.

I'll vouch for the Tizo platters. They run dead true and have a good finish.
I run one on my home made TT. It's the RPM 1.3 platter running off an RPM 9.1 motor.
Having previously owned an RPM 5 i'd reckon the Tizo platter would be a nice upgrade over the standard MDF platter.

Man that is a thing of beauty! Is that a Rega arm? And what record clamp is that?

I am dead serious...would you be willing to make me one???? If so what would you charge me to make one and send it to the USA to Missouri?

Really ? Let me think about it... I'm currently in the process of building a new bearing for it to replace the relatively cheap Rega bearing I'm currently running. It would add a few hundred to the price so you'd need to think about what bearing you'd like in it. You'd also need to source your own RPM 9/10 motor as the Aussie version will probably be different hz to the U.S version. Needledoctor should be able to sort you out there.


Then there's shipping... Pain in the ass....

In it's current form, without cart it's roughly $2k in parts alone with the audiomods arm. Add some of my time to that.... If you're still seriously keen PM me

Later
Matt.

No...I was talking about that record clamp...sent you a pm

[Gutty]

D'oh !! Yeah, that's dead easy... will be in touch.

Edit: ya know what, you're probably better off just getting one of these http://www.needledoctor.com/Clearaudio- ... tegory=421
By the time i ship it over there it's not going to be a whole lot cheaper. Only real benefit is you'd get your initial in the top if i make it.

Gutty..I am looking around for a plinth design and was impressed by some of those shown by fellow members on www.stereo.net.au (that's a plug for our gr8 website/forum for hifi lovers in Australia btw...) but yesterday I saw the xlnt quality photos of YOUR dual plinth design using the Project motor etc. Thought WOW..dude congrats on such an achievement.
I am debating using my Project motor, platter etc as my turntable plinth and arm were wrecked in Cyclone rainfall thru ceiling damage. A SNA'er helped me well with a beautiful Micro Seiki MA707/CF-1 arm hence I now look for something to mount it on. I do know my motor and drive/platter stuff are all ok and because I have a Speeedbox 11 I wanna use the Project bits.
So no wonder Vinyl Engine members from world over would like some of your gear-turntables/record weights/clamps or whatever-congrats real classy gear!! Cheers Laurie.
