what makes it DIY?b,121b,121b/w I'm glad I just watched a 1:45 video of sade playing in someone's living room, so worth it.

So i guess that the guy took apart the platter and motor and tone arm from another turntable and separated the parts to give platter isolation and weight.

font class="post"1b,121b,121I thought it was gonna be a turntable built from scratch, which I was imagining to be nightmarish. That clears things up though. b,121b,121Seems like having the motor that far away might create problems in the long haul, as I would imagine the motor is calibrated for certain amperage, and adding distance would affect the tension which would affect the draw, but I'm not an electronics engineer, so who knows.

Hmm, good question, maybe a Fang Jockey is more your guys' speed?b,121b,121a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=ICL-jyyhc2UC&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=knife+microphone+turntable&source=web&ots=riO04noQPt&sig=kgdWq0Xr63Y0EMbvm4EWfPTfnyU&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result"1target="_blank"1http://books.google.com/books?id=ICL-jyy...num=7&ct=result

font class="post"1b,121b,121I think I'd prefer the knife mic. Fang jockey seems a little excessive.
