A Copernican View of the Turntable System

That's what my armpods are made of.....phosphor bronze.
Sounds good to me :^)

Dear Chris, If I understand Freud well this is how 'it'
should work: 1. first step is the denial (= your post);
2 second step is the doubt; 3. third step is insecurity
and 4. seling the demn thing to get some night's rest.
In the meanwhile I should be able to get a second 'nacked
TT'.
Sleep well till the second 'step'.

Regards,

Now that is a man who has chosen one of the right materials for an armpod.

Hi Audpulse, If I am able to count this make at least two
man 'who has chosen the right material(s)'. But there are
others who have chosen for the 'acousticaly dead' arm pod
made as a sandwich from: two layers of steel,two layers of
cork, two layers of granite and one of acryl. This abundance of materials combined with the scientific reaserch regarding the acoustical death imply a different kind of animal. So it is more about the man than the material if you get my meaning.

Regards,

IME, not only the choice of material, but how the material is processed has a significant effect on the sound.

Again IME, the descending order of sonic quality is: 1 machined from solid billet, 2 extruded into approximate shape then machined, 3 forged, 4 vacuum or pressure-cast, 5 sand cast.

I should also point out that the phosphor bronze alloys used in machining are different from those used for casting (higher tin and lead content).
