Yeah that's exactly what prompted the adjustment slots, because I've been reading a lot about what you just confirmed. It has more than enough travel to dial it in just right.

A beast for sure! I've taken to calling it the "Colossus". So a Bloodwood one would look right at home with the McAlister Audio Massive Attack.

One coat of sealer and 4 top coats. I prefer a satin finish, so sorry for you glossy guys.
I have no idea how it sounds yet. My Pass Pearl phono stage will arrive at the Houston meet (next weekend), and my new cartridge will hopefully be here by then too.
That's the speed controller that luvdunhill built in the pics, left and forward of the motor pod.

That looks awesome Steve! Congrats!
I agree with you on the satin vs. gloss preference. Can't wait for your impressions of it!

Stunning, just absolutely stunning piece of work.
I wish I had those kind of wood skills. The only stuff I can do well enough is some carving and turning.
Is there an S2 version in the works?

ATM it's about 45 lbs., but next weekend I'll be filling in the chambers underneath with lead shot. I'm not sure how heavy it'll be after that.

This one will definitely not be for sale. I may entertain building more.

Fantastic. It's too bad that you can't listen to it yet though.
