You know I did not realize the tubes were lit from below with blue LEDs, but it does blend well with the other blue lights in the system.

Luther,

Looks great.  So, how does it sound?

I got one of those cute boogers too.  The blue was a surprise.

Mark, are you back home?

Luther,

It has less than an hour on it, so it will need some burn in, but even out of the box it is very open and smooth. I had heard one a few months back when a buddy brought his over for one of our audio meets. We rolled his in my rig and I really liked it. I didn't get one then because there was just no room to put it in the system. Well we are moving in about a week so I bought a VTI rack to be able to use a dedicated phono pre. I just couldn' t wait any longer and had Mark overnight this to me. Not being one for that whole delayed gratification thing, I made it fit for now. 

real fancy

I like the blue lights a lot.

Yep.  I'm back.  Leaving again Friday till Tuesday.  Then.....some time home.

Yeah! Looks great. What a coincidence about the blue lights, eh? I can't wait to see your "Lutherized" version of it. Should be fun. That's by a mile the best Tercel installation I have seen! 

wow. I had no idea about the blue LED's on it. Very cool.

I think because some people chose not to install them early on? Most of the pix people have sent me, did not have them installed. 

What a beautiful installation! What is that turntable?

What cart do you run there?

How long does the rubber band last?

It's a good distance from four racquet balls and a slab, ain't it? 

That whole double  lucite affair seems to be sitting on some kind of additional isolation platform at the bottom. Maybe there are racquet balls underneath in there  somewhere. I just don't know.  Would it be possible to gold plate my racquet balls?

The table is a Clearaudio Champion II fitted with an SME 309 arm and a Benz Micro High Output glider cart. The belt has never been replaced, so I don't know how long it will last.

The entire rig sits on a isolation sandbox. The turntable sits on a 1/2" piece of glass that is sitting on 25 pounds of glass beads (like used in bead blasting). The box is sitting on 5 Daruma Isolation Bearings. Finally all this sits on a 210 pound piece of marble. Yes, it is overkill but I figured it wouldn't hurt.

HARDCORE!
