similarities between individuals or social groups foster the exaggeration of tiny distinctions in order to generate or validate uniqueness or superiority.Well said Dr. F and most appropriately quoted, Wrm57. I think all 'philes should paste it on their mirror to read each morning and evening while brushing teeth.
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
Was wondering how these two German manufacturers compare.
Bardo vs Raven One
Oasis vs Raven GT
LaGrange vs Raven AC
Is there a unique sound signature that goes up with the range? Which is a better value? (i.e. maybe the Oasis is better than the Raven AC)
Have heard both in show conditions, but could not pin-point their contribution to the end result as the rest of the system was unfamiliar as well.

Are you suggesting then that Timeline is more successful with DD than BD? I think it depends on the Designer. Based on that discussion I remembered an audiophile buddy with a Platine Verdier Turntable. The last time I did visit him I asked about his speed alignment...lots of Verdier owners think about external motors, the kind of string, the material of it, the length, running the motor 24/7/365 and so on....he did nothing :-), except buying a Vibraplane. Anyway, I made a date for a alignment Party packed some stuff, Digital Gauge, Timeline, Camera, Carts and we started first with listening a record without doing any corrections.. and we also made some cartridge rolling ... ... we found another turntable Design which has a rock solid red dot on the wall and we also were able to hear differences with several carts :-) |
Nice photo of the Verdier. My table is also on a Vibraplane. When I add a record clamp as heavy as the Timline, the Vibraplane moves slightly. How does the thread drive on that Verdier react if the table and platter are on the Vibraplane while the motor is stationary on a different platform? Would it not be better to have the motor and platter on the same isolated platform? Does this alter the speed? |
Moonglum Probably the most sensible post on Agon or anywhere else I've read in a long while. It would do good for many of us opionated, egotistical audiophiles to realise the harm that we can easily cause a small enterprise with our superiority complex. Don't like a product , don't buy it....no need to run down what you don't like.... Have a great weekend |
