A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Copernicus was a twit anyway.

Come on Lewm, Copernicus certainly was no twit. If still bounded in certain ways of thinking - and as such deeply routed in its time and spirit - he was nevertheless a mind able to think past the frontiers of his day.
I will rather give my comment regarding turntable concept in physical form this summer.

Dear Halcro, it didn't worked out really good for Galileo giving his thoughts and comments to the world .....

Thanks for your thoughts Syntax.

Dear Thuchan,
Yes, Micro Seiki knew a thing or two about analogue.
Your SX 8000 had it's motor separated from the plinth/platter and, as you say, the very solid arm boards attached rigidly to the plinth.
This is an example of an understandable use of a plinth........not designed to change the sound of the information extracted from the grooves, but to support the platter bearing and tonearms.
Sort of copied by TW Raven among others? :-)

Dear Raul,
I think you and I are in agreement on these things.
In terms of the compromises inherent at every step of the analogue system, it is still possible for even a budget turntable/arm/cartridge combination to easily outdo digital reproduction and with the best analogue reproduction, it is possible to approach the sound of master tapes?
So those compromises must be very small and easily overcome for this to be?
Regards
Henry
