I wish you were more willing to collaborate. I already have a stereo design finished. Shopping for the right metal shop now.

If you want me to quote your parts , pm me

Now sending for testing.
This is how the heads will look.
I think they turned out pretty good for a first try.
Now let's make sure they meet spec.

Wow man!!!
Does the name reference something in particular?

[ROLANDJAYS]

Yes , my family name.

A thing of beauty..........
Any idea what the finished head mass will be?
I basic drawing with the general geometry would be very useful so that potential customers can evaluate if this can be mounted on a specific lathe such as

1) Size & position of mounting screws,
2) Position of stylus from rear mounting face,
3) Overall size of head

I would probably mock up a "dummy head" in wood first to check suitability but I imagine there would not be a problem .......can't wait for the test results well done on your terrific progress.

thanks

Looks amazing! congratulations

[Bahndahn]

Holy smokes! You are a fine machinist. Did you CNC or hand mill, typically/exclusively?

Also, hows your lathe build? It would be great to see some photos sometime.

Well made stuff, friend.

[tragwag]

looks amazing, great work!

[studiorp]

Yes, I am agree with the others , you have done an excellent work. And now we wait the sound tests. Best wishes for this project.

[EpicenterBryan]

This work just smells of quality and attention to detail. And the bouquet of first press lubrication oils. Very sexy indeed.

thanks for the complements everyone...

how many people would like a pre amp for the Grampian cutter heads?
I am going to have some made, and if other people are interested ill keep some in stock .

This is the work of an Artist in love with his Art. Bravissimo!!

[opcode66]

I have to agree. This is nice work. Looking forward to your continued achievements.

[powerstrip]

Nice job just to ask will you make a stereo head later stages

no cause

MONO

is better


.... all this whining for stereo i'm sick of it

[powerstrip]

and this is real stuff...100% commendable

not the cereal box 3D print models

[opcode66]

Ouch. Mine is actually quite well engineered. In fact, I would put mine head to head with one of these. I wager mine gives better results in stereo. Just saying...

Be not offended! I suspect only a simple typo. I read it like:

and this is real metal...100% metalalloys

not the currently-in-rapid-protoyping-devolpment-stage-where-FDM-via-thermoplastics-is-most-efficient-and-practical models
