Back on the SC1100 mods...
Today, I replaced the original mounting saddle by a custom one (that I've already presented earlier in this thread).
I did this mounting mod because Ari doesn't fit the original SC1100 saddle and also because it's now possible to center vertically the capsule in the head basket. As I did, the caps. is ~1cm down and centered.
I used Arienne K47 saddle (because Arienne will be installed later in this pair) but with an Ali Express capsule which will be tested compared to SC1100 original then to Ari K47flat.
For those interested, I post some picts and a schematic of how I did with plastic & metal spacers, an adhesive foam disk and 3mm screw + nut. The 2 plastic spacers allow to "compensate" the hole in the middle and so to offer a solid base. It allows to center the saddle too.
I can give the links to the different parts for this mod (Ali Express).
When I plugged the mic > no sound... I searched... and then realized that the backplate was maybe in contact with the head of the screw (and so with ground). That was it ! so not forget to put a piece of isolant (electrician tape for ex.) between the saddle and the capsule
