Oversized turntable + 18

The analog frontend of my set is the most important source. I scored an oversized turntable-platter (50 cm diameter !) which runs ultrasmooth. The challenge was that there are almost no commercial tonearms of 14" or longer. So i made mine based on the Well Tempered patent.

For the armtube i choose an arrowshaft after a lot of resonance-testing to find out the optimum material / thickness / stiffness / etc. In the end it became an 18" tonearm; so the offset-error is really low.

The tonearm is also light so the Van Den Hul Colibri cartridge performs optimal. The tonearm wire is a single piece from cartridge to the preamp. Very helpull accessories are the outer ring and stroboscope.
When looking at the pictures: what you see is an LP... not a single !
