LP12 subchassis - The 'RubiKon'

[Theo]

I would be VERY interested in this...my LP12 hasn't been upgraded for 10 years (fully loaded at the time), and needs a cost-effective 'tlc' upgrade.

Theo.

I think that when it all comes together its going to be rather special.

Probably not realistically available until 2nd QTR next year.

Rothwell used to do a valve amp with a similar name

Who gets to review the prototype?

Once we have listened to the prototype and what it can do, we will consider the way forward.

I have the design infront of me. Going to get my mate, the ex Chief Engineer of the RFA to make up a couple of prototypes for us to hear......

It's exciting.

RIP Ken my good friend.

What material are you making it out of? Aluminium alloy?

Is it going to be a 1 piece CNC machined subchassis?

I don't want to sidetrack your thread, but has anybody tried a Linn subchassis with the arm mounted on a separate fixed board (ie not bouncing with the subchassis)?

I'm afraid that until it's released I would prefer not to discuss the construction.

Its milled out of one solid Ruby isn't it

Is it made of squashed caps of a certain brand? Anyway, enough of this fannying about. Focus on those shoeboxes man.

Shoeboxes are very much 'focused'. Just waiting for painted examples to arrive. The case itself is 100% spot on.

No, recycled Brik cabinets !

Actually using 'Kustone' would be the most ironic thing ever is if worked well

Yes that would be good, I think a tad heavy though!

I guess not then.

I think that would cause many problems.

 

[Patrick Dixon]

Why so? The arms bearings should cope with any small relative movements of the sub-chassis, and big bounces cause jumps anyway.

It might not work, I just think it's something that ought to be tried.

My bet is it would sound like Vic Reeves doing his 'pub singer' thing.

THATS THE SOUND FOR THE RubiKon, back to the drawing board.
