It takes a bit of configuring to get working, but it has so many frontends/clients it's sickening. I was able to giver her a web interface, an iTunes-like client for her Mac called Theremin, a little playlist/visualization display on the actual radio using ncmpcpp, a client for her iPhone AND a client for my Droid.

However, if you look at the speaker interior pics, you can probably see that the drivers' flanges are right up against the cabinet walls. Meaning I'd have to replace the drivers with smaller ones. <br /><br />BFJD,<br />Good idea about the neoprene mats. I assume you mean to put them between the shelf and the turntable's feet. Unfortunately, there is about 1 mm of space between the top of the turntable and the sliding top doors, so I can't lift it any more.<br /><br />I think your idea about using a neoprene spacer instead of the wood might work but would require a bit more extensive rebuild and analysis. The top plate of the shelf is the one that fits into the groove of the cabinet (again due to the limited headroom) with the massive shelf hanging from it. So if you put a springy layer between the top shelf and the the bottom, you'd be effectively separating the turntable from the mass by a spring (rather than the intended hard coupling between the mass and turntable with a damped spring between the mass and the cabinet). That might work, but would behave as a hard-to-tune tuned mass damper. <br /><br />Instead, I'm considering cutting the rails off and supporting the entire shelf on blocks from below, with a springy/damping material between the shelf and cabinet.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00314236527446854856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801747313648035801.post-30168201582025262922010-09-21T11:42:31.622+12:002010-09-21T11:42:31.622+12:00Have you looked into Neoprene padding?

I've had good results using neoprene pads or mats that cover approximately 15-30 % of the contact area (usually four 1" squares on a piece not much larger than two square feet total) for vibration isolation at 60 Hz and above.<br /><br />Although I hate to suggest rebuilding the record player shelf, using the Masonite with thin strips of neoprene, maybe 1/8" thick where you currently have the bits of 1 by (unless my eyes fail me, and you have some other dimension serving as you rails and stiles on that shelf between the sand) but keeping the sand for any lower frequencies you're concerned about?<br /><br />It's a beautiful project regardless, and the remote fix is significantly more elegant that what I would have come up with. Kudos, sir.<br /><br />-BFJDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801747313648035801.post-3644472737041017732010-09-21T11:36:19.583+12:002010-09-21T11:36:19.583+12:00I love the old Cabinet! Beautiful wood!:) Back in ...I love the old Cabinet! Beautiful wood!:) Back in about 1979, I refinished an old late 50's early 60's HiFi Cabinet. I was a Cabinet Maker at the time so this was right up my alley. I made the Turntable Pull out into a Cassette Holder. Cassettes were the current music format at the time. I put my Teac Cassette Recorder - Player in it with switches for my 4 Stereo Speakers (to turn them on and off), which I had mounted on the Walls through out my home. Originally, it was only a Mono Unit so it was not big enough to hold my Receiver - Turntable. So, I just set it on the top of the Cabinet. This worked out well since my Cabinet opened up with two doors in the front and the top was solid. It was made of Oak Plywood, with solid Oak Trim. It was a light color originally and I didn't like that at the time. So, I sanded it down and stained it with American Cherry, my favorite color to this day. I removed the Speaker and Cloth from the bottom of the Cabinet and made some Sliding Doors for that area and used the space as storage. I used it for many years, until I gave it to a friend. Minus the Stereo equipment;) He had a better setup than my old stuff anyway. By that time, the early 90's, We were both doing sound for Concerts. And he had some Small 150 Wat EV Cabs and a 1000 watt Crown Amp that we used in the house, wired directly to his 5 disk CD Player which sounded great and didn't even need an EQ (when not in use on a job). Well, Ok... So later on, I couldn't resist hooking up the Mackie Mixer and some mikes so I could practice singing too;) Then we could hook up guitars keyboards, what ever we wanted... Those EV's literally Rocked the House!;)<br /><br />You really know your Audio! Great work!:) I wonder if it would be easier and work better, if you built or bought some speaker boxes and probably some newer speaker drivers to just set inside of the openings in the cabinet. You could set them on something that dampens the vibrations and maybe put something on the walls of the Cabinet too to isolate the Speaker Cabs from the Cabinet. I like the old speaker drivers too though, they usually have such a warm sound. You might try mounting them in the Speaker Boxes, if they would fit. I'm thinking, that since they are presently mounted directly to your cabined. There is a certain amount of vibration being transfered directly to the rest of the Cabinet that cannot be stopped by Dampening or Insulating the Walls or by Isolating the Turntable alone. Just one Idea...<br /><br />I love to window shop on this site and use to resale though them too. I still get a little bit of a discount off of their retail prices.
