I am careful to state that these Platterspeed measurements are for “entertainment purposes only”Yes....but unfortunately you don't explain WHY!!! 99.9% of people have no experience with the PlatterSpeed App and simply accept your published results 'on face value'. Many would also accept them as 'Gospel'....🤥 That said, I use the same 7” Feickert test record for every test so while the record isn’t perfect the relative results are 100% accurate.No they're NOT!!!!! They are unrepeatable and unreliable. Do you want me to post the Plots of the same turntable/arm set-up with the test record rotated 1/4 turn...? Visitors who got to hear all 3 turntables thought they were clearly among the finest they’d heard though all sounded different from one another, and sounded as I’d written (once the reviews were published).I haven't disputed this....in fact I reinforced the claim that only YOU can offer an opinion on the comparative SOUND of these three decks. And for that, I for one am grateful...🙏 |
@grooves If you'd REALLY like to include an objective, repeatable, scientific and REVEALING test for any turntable.....why not ask Ron Sutherland to help you set-up TIMELINE....? This test not only reveals VISUALLY...the true ability of a turntable to keep:-
Both Weiss and Krebs pointed out that ONLY direct drive can track and accurately reproduce a record and not be slowed down, however slightly, by the transients and dynamic contrasts presented in a record's grooves.You could include a LINK in your Review to the applicable YouTube Video. This could be a revelation in turntable comparison reviewing.... The only drawback could be the commercial pressure from manufacturers whose turntables are revealed for what they really are.....🤥 |
Maybe one day Mikey got enough from the business and will be able to build up a real listening room 😂I've had the privilege of visiting Thuchan's Listening Room and should emphasise that whilst he says he has three DIRECT DRIVE turntables both vintage and modern......he also has (and had) many other turntables including the EMT 927 R80, Micro Seiki SX-8000 II, Continuum Criterion with both Cobra and Copperhead Tonearms as well as several Revox B77 Tape Decks. Here is his BLOG 🤩 So I was able to hear the Victor TT-101 against some formidable opposition and it was certainly not shamed..... Richard, my best friend, has one of the very first Continuum Caliburns (before Mikeys). Before that, he had the Rockport Sirius III which was quite a revelation for me. It took a LONG time for the Western World to give any audiophile creedence to Direct Drive..... |
EMT DD turntable like EMT950 and EMT948 are in the same league as best vintage japanese DD turntables. Actually, many EMT collectors (especially classical music lovers) prefer 950 over 927 and 930. One my friend prefere EMT948 and Yamaha GT2000 over Kenwood L-07D and Sp10 mk2. He have or had all of them in his own system. |
