After months of preparation, talks, drawings and conception my new DIY turntable is finally connected to the amp ! :D

I have to say, I m REALLY impressed by the sound quality compared to my old one !!

Here is the first video made tonight:

That lookks really cool and I bet that it sounds great too....well done Steph!!!

Now that's what I call the epitome of COOL :-))) Well done Steph! Love where you have the switch ;-)

if that sounds even half as good as it looks then it must sound fantastic! Well done lad, very impressive work.

Looks fantastic. Great job!

I might have to order a black guard telecaster off you one day ;) Amazing work!

Sure no problem! :)

I'll probably meet with my carpenter friend soon to work on another turntable project (not a guitar type this time) as I receive already a new order.

Thanks for all your kind words ! :)

Now, I need to find someone who can build a plexiglass platter :D

Last night I put the turntable on spikes and WOW what a massive difference in sound quality ! I didn't expect such a cool improvement :)
