"Dark Star" Completed
« on: June 10, 2021, 10:31:37 AM »
After a bit of a delay getting my Denon 103S back from Soundsmith "Dark Star" is up and running at full capacity! Enclose are final shots of the deck. A list of components are as follows:

FFYX Magnetic bearing platter
Origin Live Ultra motor system
Origin Live Belt
Audiomods Series IV arm
Origin Live Encounter III arm
Benz Ruby 3 Cartridge
Denon 103S Soundsmith sapphire/line contact cartridge
Maple plinth
Top plate 2 sheets of 5mm carbon and 1" MDF sandwich
Bottom plate 1 sheet of 3mm carbon fiber and 1"MDF
Custom dust cover
Brass, chrome plated footers/carbon fiber filled with sorbothane footers
50mm carbon fiber pads

I put a lot of energy into this build and feel that I really nailed it both sonically and visually. Hopefully this quells my desire for another table for a long, long time.

Beaut!

I'm curious at what RPM would the forces tear loose from the axis?
