LP12 subchassis - The 'RubiKon' #2

[per-Sony-fied]

Isn't it a VDH jobbie? Similar in size & flexibility to AO's.

Yep - supplied by VdH (infamously so). If it is like the one AO supply then I would say it is a touch stiff but no worse than the one fitted to the ARO.

the AO cable is more flexable than the VDH
most linn dealers tell me the AO cable is IDEAL for linn springs as it is MORE flexable than the linn cables!!!

And I'd have thought LINN meant good things when choosing their new chunky arm cable.

Hmm..interesting -I don't see it as much of a problem though if the AO is similar to the Linn; I will look into the VdH cable a little more but, whilst interesting, arm cables are outside the remit of the chassis design (as far as I can see).

Perhaps a cart that transmits the signal via sub chassis and the base board is the ultimate, or I have had too much Pinot Noir?

 

[YNWOAN]

Umm....perhaps (with regard to the wine that is )

 

[pure sound]

An arm/subchassis that mechanically applies RIAA eq might be fun...

Doesn't the standard LP12 already have that.

Maybe he should have said "accurately"!

It's called Tilt (as Quad would put it)

I visit the potential manufacturer on Tuesday, 'citin.

 

[flatpopely]

Just got back from a 400 mile round trip to visit the potential manufacturer. Once a sample of the finish and engraving/machining has been received I cant imagine using anyone else. These guys are good!

 

[Rhoering]

Have you set up a website to promote the chassis? I would love to see picture. Also what is the timeline for getting one shipped to the US?

Thanks!

 

[flatpopely]

There are pics in this thread. Also try

I am talking to a potential US dealer/distributor but it's going to be some months before we have product free for the US.

Andrew.

Logo lettering will be in this style but most probably laser etched onto the armboard - very subtle.

 

[YNWOAN]

I've just been doing a bit more work on the RubiKon for Aro (which now looks likely to appear sooner rather than later) and am pleased with a couple of tweaks that should prove worthwhile (including a nice touch I think to help isolate the armrest from the rest of the armboard ).

I've also catered for potential fitting of the Aromatic but admit that I am very much in two minds with regard to this aspect - the Aromatic hasn't been made in so long and, even then, I've only ever fitted a couple - is it worth including?

 

[flatpopely]

I hand cue anyway......

 

[Tony. B]

So do I.
