A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear Halcro, getting "rid" of the turntables plinth will be very similar (sonic-wise..) to "castrate" the turntable.
It is one system.
Energy storage, transmission and vibration isolation are much more important issues than commonly believed.
The plinth is not the problem, but if clever done more likely the cure.
Cheers,

Dear Raul,

I will wait for you at the airport from Monday on.

Is it true that you are selling your analogue gears investing in computer hardware?? :-)

When I was attending RMAF last October I was wondering why we could see and listen to lots of analogue systems while the guys from the magazines and some hardware manufacturers were talking about the HiRez opportunities. I understood that at least in the US there are different teams in the playfield, the "old fashioned guys" like us and the "market and studio oriented people" in the business.

Maybe we see two trends, the streaming and HiRez efforts as well as the source oriented analogue activities. I have never seen so many tape recorders being bought than in the last six months - thanks to Tape Project only?

Raul, why not buying two tape recorders, a digital one and an analogue machine. You will be able to do everything you like on a good quality level. But what happens to your tonearm project in this case?

Should we say farewell to you cause your posting now under DIGITAL? Hopefully not! We need you, even the guys who like to debate emphatically with you.
Halcro, I agree with you - something must have been happened with Raul, tequilas? some other shocks, maybe a life event? or are we interpreting too deeply? Or are we just living behind the horizon and do not understand what is approching us. When Raul was infected who could be the next?
Halcro, You seem to be satisfied with how your JVC project turned out though you should move forward to verify any remaining specultive theories that maybe lingering in your mind.
May I suggest expanding your nude turntable project into having a panzarholz plinth made for your DD JVC. Preferably a design that would accommodate a pivoting arm board/ boards similar to your TW Raven a'la Micro Seiki.

Interesting that both these tables are similar in design though sound vastly differant even with the same quality arm and cartridge installed, isit the plinth material?, bearing design? the motor? belt? or all the above?
Thuchan if your going to hang around the air port for Raul to show up , may I suggest you wearing a large sombrero, aways good to stand out among a crowd.
