Cool man, nice progress. Looks like we're about in the same boat. I made an adaptor for my K8, and I've some sound cutting. although its really really quiet right now. Based on the discussions above, I'm trying to rework the torque and the stylus holder to be a bit more Neumann like, which will hopefully help the sound quality. Eventually I want to try to make my own coils, but thats way down the line.

Did you build an overhead transport? If so I'd love to see what you have going on. I've been looking into some linear stages for possible use as an overhead transport.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the purchases so far. Its been awesome seeing the progress, and seeing people build stuff with these.

I wanted to let everyone know that I've been doing $45 for 2 of these. This includes shipping if you're in the US, contact me for a quote if you're outside the US.

If there's a moderator seeing this, could you update the title of this post to reflect the price change? Thanks.

I'll take a pair but can I be awkward and gave then WITHOUT the driver cut outs? These holes limit the choices for me?

Let me know.
Thanks
