A Copernican View of the Turntable System


Once again this site rejects my long posting so I need to post it via this link to my 'Systems' page

I will let you know the steps to produce a basic arm pod / board for your setup.
Raul,

I would dearly love to give it another whirl and so any feedback might enduce me to do so.

Thanks
Dear Lew, Thanks for your kindness but I have a fitter(?) or technician with an lathe who already made some tonearm
parts for me. Besides if I needed an second arm pod I would
order by Vidmantas. But I can at last give you some advice.
Because we both own the Reed and the Triplanar I know what
you need to do if you intend to experiment with the'nacked objects'. You need just a bar of brass ,10cm wide, with 3
holes with thread on each side. Your sevings will be such
that you can afford the most exotic spikes one can imagine.

Regards,

Dear Dgob: I will do it, I share your same interest on the subject.

Raul,

Thanks and I look forward to reading it. I have also posted a comment on my System page about which I have questions. It would be interesting to hear other views on my uncertainty. Anyway, a paraphrase of what I posted there is:

"Following my above appraisal of the detached and nude set up, I should just add that I feel slightly sensitive to (or curious about) the psychoacoustic elements in hifi. For example, I am not certain if the issues of soundstage and of imaging are genuine/completley authentic.

It seems that in a live performance one is very rarely (if ever) as acoustically aware of space between musicians or their three dimensionality. My suspicion is that hifi compensates for the visual stimuli that is provided in a live performance with the over emphasis of these audible features. Small ensemble acoustic or vocal performances might be the occasional exceptions to this.

Just food for thought and a reflection on the hifi norms to which I refered in my above appraisal.

Thoughts welcomed"
