A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear all,
thanks for taking care of me but I think the captain survives ( always )...

best & fun only

Dear D - you have a wonderful sense of humour :^(

Hi Nikola - how is your Moldavian plinth working out for your SP10 ?

Cheers

Ct0517, Sorry but it is the other way round. But he has huge potential as is obvious from the MC thread: 'Damn it! Me making the same error by nature (aka German) again and
again'.The problem is however not the quality but the quantity. To be regarded as humorous you need to make more jokes than just one.
The Moldavian plinth is still by the customs. The Dutch are
probable learning from the Americans...

Regards,

Dear Ct0517, sorry - I was serious ! Life can be kind .... sometimes. But it took me a long time to find that particular girl.
Kind of copernican journey in itself....;-) .... much harder than audio - at least as rewarding.
Cheers.

Whilst researching the Rockport Sirius III I came across this treatise written by Peter Moncreif of the International Audio Review which for me, is the best description of the 'job' (and difficulties thereof) of the turntable I have ever read.
BELT VS DD
The most stunning point he made......one which never occurred to me......was that the record itself provided only 50% of the information required to produce the music's waveform......Amplitude. The other 50% required.....the Time Domain....is provided by the turntable.
This is an unarguable fact and thus puts, I believe, the turntable firmly into the 'software' category of the analogue chain rather than in the 'Hardware' category where resides the arm-base (or pod), the arm, headshell, cables and cartridge?
