I just made Facebook friends with a gentleman named Jon Palmer who makes his own turntables under the Palmer Audio moniker. This 'table, the 2.5, is just a prototype, but I have to say that this is one of the most gorgeous 'tables I've seen in a long time. He does have an older model, the 3, that has a separate housing for the motor, but I think I prefer the look of this one-piece plinth.
Here's a pic of the 3:
I'm going to contact Jon Palmer soon and ask him about the particulars (like price). I think I might ask him for an interview to see what it's like starting a new TT company in this day and age. I wish him the best!
looks like those nice plywood plinths Russ collinson makes. nice!
ReplyDeleteRuss Collinson? Never heard of him. Do you have a link?
ReplyDeleteyeah russ collinson has got a website- www.layers-of-beauty.co.uk
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful plinths, but for some reason I don't quite love the layered veneer look. I used a pair of Penaudio Serenade speakers for a short time, and while they sounded great, I wasn't in love with the looks.
