A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dover,

Are you going to fully nude the Raven ?

I am fortunate to have the Raven side by side with the 'nude' Victor in order to crystallise my thoughts on this matter.

And you are correct........the 'shelf' or 'platform' upon which the turntable and armpods rest, are in fact 'a plinth' or 'base'.
And I agree......the 'base' is of utmost importance.....or rather.....the 'isolation' of the base is of fundamental importance.

Dear Dover: ++++ " the Record is King " +++++

agree, here or in other trhread I posted that but because we can't almost do nothing to modify or improve what is recorded I don't take it in count as part of the analog rig hardware , so next in line the cartridge.

regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Dear halcro: Can you hear the gravity?. Now, today many audiophiles ignore/don't use antiskating but we know is necessary even that some of us " think " the quality performance is better with out AS.

There are several distortions ( different kind 9 that surround the audio system and that are generated by the audio system but at so low level or so higher frequencies that we can't detected or at least we are unaware of it.

Take two IC cables or speaker ones or power cords, normally the better shielded likes us more and we could think because are bettter cooper or silver build material or whatever but it is more normal that are better to reject noise polulation: emi, rf and the like that exist even if we can heard it and I can say we can but we can't identify it.

Of course I'm with science.

Btw, do you already buy the Dyna 13D?

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Dear Raul,
Your examples are ones that are 'detectable' but perhaps not explainable?
If you cannot detect something......how is that different to its non-existence?

And just saying something exists but is 'undetectable'....is no proof of its existence?
It is just mumbo jumbo :-)
There is enough 'pseudo science' and 'voodoo science' in this hobby as it is?

Regards

Dear Raul,
I hear 'gravity' every time I release the tonearm lifter and every time I adjust the VTF.
Bad example.......

Regards
