Last week an article on my hobby were published in the local paper. The article focused on two things…..my vinyl collection and the DIY components. The writer thought it is quite rare for someone locally building his own turntable. So it is something to talk about.

Anyway, it is strange that many in the masses thought vinyl is dead and turntables are antique equipment. Thus the article somehow creates awareness among readers that vinyl and turntable for that matter is still in production and they are getting more sophisticated.

Thanks to my sister Anah for her contact.

Weekend Golf at Pulai Spring

Left early at 0550hrs last Saturday anticipating traffic jam at the causeway due to Qing Ming festival.
However traffic was smooth and we arrived at Pulai Spring around 0645 hrs. Thus managed to tee off at 0720 hrs.

Weather was super good ...no rain and not so sunny.

My 2nd DIY TT

My blog page is still under construction. The designer is busy with her own blogging I guess.
Anyway, its 90% done........the other 10% 'akan datang'.

OK. my DIY turntable almost done. Due to some unforeseen technical difficulties, it was redesign. This time round, wood was chosen for the plinth. Many man hours spent mostly after work and weekends. Now working on the arm board and some tweaking here and there. Hope to finish it by this weekend after which can shop for the cartridge. Some pix to share.....
