Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review

Dear Lewm: +++++ " Thus the Caliburn will win all shoot-outs in his system. " +++++

well you put in the right short words and tha's exactly what I want to express through my posts.

The problems he detected with the Onedof and NVS are problems with both TTs but he can't imagine/figure in any way that the real " problems " maybe came from the Caliburn that's not so " perfect " as he thinks.

I'm in agreegment with you and with Halcro regarding that almost no one could have the opportunity to have those three TTs in the same system to make an evalutaion but to agree on this fact does not means I have to believe on the " perfect " MF.

Regards and enjoy the music,

In the other side it is " weird " that every time that appears a thread about NVS TT ( like the one that was deleted. ) the same persons post almost the same trying to diminish the NVS TT. This thread is no exception and obviously as some of us already know exist a specific " agenda " from this group.
Yes I'm refering to the German group.

Some Agoners already suffered first hand the direct actions coming from a member of that group where between other things are especialist to clone today audio products speaking as his own design: the same cloning speakers that electronics too.
After some time we now see them again in Agon, now that " the water return to calm " and that maybe they think: " every thing was forgotten ".

Take care all of you.

If one was seriously considering the NVS, Onedof and Caliburn, it seems that the NVS is the best choice simply because I think there is only one Onedof in existence and I read somewhere that the Caliburn is close to going out of production. May just be an internet rumor, and I'm not helping by passing it along, but in terms of production tables, the NVS seems the most viable.

I understand that the Technics MK3 is competitive, but that is also very difficult to acquire. Are there any NVS dealers on the East Coast?

In MF's original review of the Onedof, in which he compared it one on one to the Caliburn, I was rather taken aback by some of the "features" of the Onedof. Apparently the whole turntable is based on a novel idea for a platter bearing, and that part of the tt works well. But some of the other aspects of the turntable, e.g., the platter design and build, were not so impressive as the bearing, IMO. It's got the LOOKS of a very expensive turntable, but I did not get the feeling that the maker has been studying turntable design for a long time or that he had other novel ideas besides the one that gave rise to the bearing. In summary, why is the Onedof in this "top 3" at all? Perhaps only because of its audacious asking price. Among tt's of similar conception (separate "pods"), is the Onedof any better than a TOTL Simon Yorke or a Da Vinci or a Transrotor or you name it?

"Welcome back Thuchan,
I have missed you......and I really miss seeing your wonderful collection of vintage and modern audio equipment on your Systems Page.
Any chance of it returning?
Do you have any new great discoveries"?

Me too.
Nice to read your post again.
