Someone mentioned a swivel base from Princess Auto and i got to thinking about my record collection. I plan to build a rotating cabinet with dividers to put my records in . I will build it high enough so i dont have to bend over and leaf through them to find what i want. Holy crap, you're right... a 1000 pound swivel base is enough for a tall rotating LP rack, not just the ultimate DVD/BR rack. I was going to start with the design posted on audiokarma but now you've got me re-thinking that. http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?t...d-plans.337891/ My idea is that if i exceed capacity i can easily add a second tier to my tower of records ( Pizza) i love pizza.

You boys are certainly great at offering unsolicited advice and opinion. There is room for all mediums and its really none of your business what i do with my time and money. sorry if my 32bit192 sarcasm didn't come across. I don't mind old school vinyl. it has a different sound to it. I just prefer not to hijack Serenity's thread with a this vs that argument about music medium. I see this all too often where a thread just screws off in a thousand directions and not fair to the OP.

An LP emulator is a product opportunity for Axiom.
All you have to do is attenuate the bass below 100Hz and add a brick wall filter around 35Hz, add rumble, wow and flutter, decrease the dynamic range and decrease the signal to noise ratio, add some dust, add some static, add disc warping, make the track more lossy as it is played and make successive tracks on "each side" sound progressively worse than the first (due to angular speed differences).
Put all these settings in an iThing interface and let listeners twiddle to their hearts' content.

One thing I would suggest with the swivel platter is to design it so your load is balanced on top. It is only about 12" wide so if you have a tall unbalanced load it may get tippy.
Putting some outer lower rollers would eliminate any wobble I guess.

I think it will be ok since it will essentially be 24 inches across give or take , enough for 2 albums opposite each other. If it is a problem i could fashion way to put a few rollers or wheels on the outside edge for balance. I made my own barn door roller and rail so this will be childs play.

I've never liked crimping because there are too many variables that need to be controlled. For a personal project like this, I would solder. Absolutely, on the final assembly, but unnecessary in the testing phase.

The baltic birch saga begins! The saw got a workout this weekend and so did the shop broom. What a load of wood shrapnel. I am very lucky to have good help and a bit of networking within the local trades. A lot of good material comes my way, usually for free, and this is one of those cases. Bonus! Anyway, here is what 2 1/2 sheets of surplus 3/4" baltic birch looks like ripped to 3/4" cubes, chopped and beveled to become a speaker jacket. On top of the speaker baffle is a mockup of what the speaker spike setup might be. I have to trim down the threaded rod a bit and decide if sinking the T nuts is something I would rather do. I kinda like them with the tangs showing. Reminds me of talons clutching an orb on a scepter or something. I never took an official count, but it is pretty much a lot... I don't know how much it weighs, but it is pretty much a lot... Added to each speaker will be about 30lbs I would guess. To tell the truth it would be sweet to have a pic of a speaker on the scale over 150lbs! I'm hoping the baffle chamfer of 45 degrees into the baltic birch angle of about 15 degrees will reduce diffraction without altering the baffle step compensation the crossover would have taken into account. I probably have to finish priming, filling and do an intial sand before I can attach the birch ply. Might be a bit before anything interesting happens. Getting closer now.

Polyuerethane glue sucks. It foams and expands out everywhere you dont want it it. Live and learn. Never again. I might have to start the spikes over. Shit!
