I built my own Turntable and here are the results

Liguy, I believe you're from Long Island?

Dear Frank_sm: So, are you telling that the Liguy TT was designed by you?

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

"the tighter the coupling between the arm and the bearing of the platter, the better."

Completely agree. I firmly believe the bearing/platter and tonearm should vibrate in unison if any vibration occurs at all. I think this is the one area Red Point and Galibier turntables differ in a major way. Admittedly, a separate tonearm pod has a more macho look and more convenient for transport.

Galibier tables don't have detached armboards. In my conversations with Thom I believe that even the Redpoint armpods are bolted to the plinth.

Hiho, Lewm,
very much agreed to say it again.
In fact some designers speak about 'closing the loop' (of resonance) and I guess just what Hiho mentioned.
