Many propositions which do not prove the conclusion. The only relevant proposition is the existence of another thread, which proves little, and certainly not your conclusion. It's called a non-sequitur, Mr. Miller.
Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?
Curious as to the demise and downfall of the seemingly short lived linear tracking TT.
Just from a geometry point of view I would have thought a linear arm should be superior to one with a fixed pivot that sweeps through an arc.
Obviously there is much more to it than that, sort of the reason for this thread.
I am genuinely interested in trying one out for myself as well.

Oh dear ... your TT/TA combo must be absolutely fantastic, Terry. Air bearing platter and TA - Ö - Reminds me of the Dr. Forsell´s Air Reference way back in 1990 and sounded just great ... oh those were the days ... I use maglev bearing on the spindle inspired by Vic´s Salvation deck. For a ridiculous price : ) Extended manifold by epoxied (!) extension. Just like that. Brilliant. Well, frankly I have´t even thought that supported manifold makes a significant improvement to the sound itself as the floating saddle evens height derivations on micro level scale + that most records are really concave discs ? And I have always just found it funny to watch cartridge swaying up and down and side to side on warped and eccentric discs : ~ ). As the cantilever/stylus remains straight & steady and the sound is still incredible compared to what I have had earlier. Terminator can handle very severe warps and folds with ease. Are you saying that supported manifold is a serious improvement ? As for damping the arm base, you are probably right, it doesn´t need damping material due to air cushion really. You use Moongel as damping ? Well that´s great, I may buy some : ) Thanks, it´s been a sheer pleasure talking to you. |
millercarbon Well, here is the picture that represents your Definitive Audio to the world. . https://www.definitive.com/ See any problems ? I have found that whenever there are issues with what one is hearing, it usually comes down to at least one of the following areas. The Room Setup <<<<<----->>>>> B Type Personality Audio Gear Setup <<<<<----->>>>> One's Hearing Ability. ********************************************************************** The complicated part "IS" that they are all inter-related ********************************************************************** Hopefully everyone understands why you can't have one without the other. |

Ya know... I consider myself an obsessed audiophile (I go through phases). But the above sounds, even to me, utterly insane. I can't imagine buying in to a system with that amount of bother attached to it. Whenever I think I go to far in pursuing this hobby....other audiophiles remind me: there are levels. ;-) I admire your dedication dorkwad. |
