Re: That deaf, dumb, and Blind Boy sure plays a mean pinball!!

You are right on target, of course. I am using acrylic and lead in my DIY, but as you once told me, a little goes a long way. I used a little in places, and those places where I used a lot were very carefully considered. Still, you can find megabuck turntables that are basically solid acrylic for a plinth with lead tossed around indiscriminately simply because because acrylic looks glitzy, and lead sounds good on a brochure. Well, looks are great, but you don't listen to looks or brochures. There needs to be a balance. So, do you buy any four hundred dollar turntable, and assume it is nearly as good as the best? If you are an idiot, you do. There are good inexpensive solutions, and there are fantastic expensive ones that are actually designed with performance in mind. What there isn't is a free lunch. You will spend either time or money, or both, to get great results, or you'll run into a major stroke of luck. You won't get top results from a commercial product for a cheap price because like I said before, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
