A Copernican View of the Turntable System

No No Geoch, you were not!

Dear Thuchan: You posted...........+++++ " I do not care if the principles of neutrality in turntable building are the most desired precondition. " +++++

so, as always: end of discussion with no arguments. I was waiting something more from you and I think Peterayer too.

I think that maybe is time to start a new thread to analize the whole subject.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Dear pryso: Yes, you understand what I posted about and yes the same " condition " could be extensive to other audio links as you pointed out.

Dear Raul,

don't shorten the content of my sentence - this style is a different kind of journalism... not what we are used to here.

I said:

If the result is a flat and not vibrant impression I do not care if the principles of neutrality in turntable building are the most desired precondition. I just assess the turntable misses something or adds something which I do not prefer 

I like Raul's suggestion to start another thread about the goal of turntable design, ie, what the role of the turntable actually is. Then the subject of neutrality, and a platform for the cartridge can be discussed as well as if certain characteristics as "vibrant", "flat", and "lively" are useful terms to discuss the success of a turntable design, or do these more accurately describe the role of the arm/cartridge pairing. Perhaps this thread could use as an example to start the discussion, the SME Model 30.

Raul, do you want to start such a thread?
