Parks Audio Waxwing measurements

[Balle Clorin]

Not many TT that has so tall feet that a waxwing would go under..optical judgement based on visit at a friend who has Waxwing I guess it is 1” -1.5 thick. It should go under my 1.5” Gyro feet Most TT have quite short feet it seems , less than 1/2” . But someone surely will post measurements soon, I will be interested to know dimensions too…

I own the Marantz TT-15S1 and it has 1.5" clearance with the thinner acrylic plinth. I'm able to slide my Wiim Pro under it so I kinda figured the Waxwing would fit.

Is it A Denon SUT I see there?

What has happened to your Waxwing? Looks infected by something..

Just lighting from a led lamp and my shaky hand holding the tape and phone on knees under the trolley the deck is on.

Seems you have the same Usb microscope as me, and the ART interface too, and therefore also AnalogMagik maybe ?

 

[JP]

TT-101?

TT-101?

Yes you remember correctly.

No AnalogMagilk.

I’ve been threatening to load the cart measurement script. Have a bunch of carts I could ad to the library and test for myself. We’ve gone through a second hurricane dumping surge in our home and finally back in organized again. My wife is suffering from PTSD over it all. House is listed and first showing tomorrow. That’s throwing a wrench in doing much playing around.

Just spinning occasionally and <gasp> streaming a lot when I can.

Hello,
has anyone ever taken high-resolution photos of the Waxwing's interior or found them online?
I'm just curious what this wonder box is equipped with!
Regards

I received my Waxwing yesterday, and so far it's proving to be everything I hoped for, plus a bit more: Like Puffin, Waxwing has a feature which assists in adjusting cartridge azimuth. I was shocked to discover that this was off by around 1 mm on my turntable, possibly because I had disassembled the AT-LP120USB tonearm at one point. And so, I loosened a couple of the screws on the arm tube, and was able to make a correction. Even so, the slightly loose SME-style headshell connection itself allows for a tiny amount of slop, such that one channel might have 28 dB of separation, and the other, 32 dB. With a little bit of fussing, I was able to reduce this variance to ~1 dB, but perhaps I should've been concentrating more on maximizing those numbers, rather than worrying about best match, especially since I'll lose that last Nth of adjustment the moment I loosen the headshell lock nut. Shanon Parks demonstrates the technique on Puffin, but Waxwing works the same way.

Hello. Could someone give me the exact height dimensions of the Waxwing. I ordered one and seeing if it will slide underneath my turntable. Thank you.

Something to keep in mind if it doesn’t fit underneath your turntable—the Waxwing has removable rubber bands on the front and back which serve as feet for the unit and increase its height. If you remove the bands, the Waxwing becomes a bit slimmer and able to squeeze into tighter spaces.
