| A Copernican View of the Turntable System thuchanthe screws can be 140mm long. if you counterbore the 5 holes in the bottom to fit the screw heads to a depth of appx 3/8" that will allow 3/8" penetration into the sp10 thread sockets, which is more than enough. c/b the holes to allow for a... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System lewmyou are correct in your assessment of the positioning of the adjustment screws. it is not a perfect adjustment, but it is better than nothing, which is what most arms have, nothing.i have mounted the breuer directly on the raven via an armboar... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System kbellthe spikes are stock brass thumbscrews from spaenaur and they were turned to a point on a lathe,the wiring on my breuer and on my davinci are both stock, no mods there. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System halcro, the vta is adjusted using the micrometer ath the top of the post, there is a thumbscrew on the side that you would loosen first, adjust the height and then retighten the screw to lock everything solid. the micrometer has a long rod attache... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System i have been speaking with chris about this thread. he had seen pics of my armpod. you guys are very passonite about this. that's great to see.my design requirements were to have adjust-ability for azimuth, vta (sra) and flexibility for different a... | |
| Alto-Extremo Absorber feets opinions i have the exact same cd player and i use alto lyd 1's under it. i find that they isolate batter than the supplied bdr cones. the bass is tighjter and imaging more focused.i actually have lyd1's under all of my equipment, amps, preamp and 3 phono ... | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's Geoffkait, try any one of the led zepp shm-cd's. as i mentioned earlier, i sold off my classic lp's because the shm-cd's were much more pleasing to listen to. i have a serious vinyl front end and a decent redbook cd player, both very revealing, so... | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's matjeti have all of the led zepp shm's. i don't have the dire straits yet, but i do also have all of the steely dan shm's.in answer to you question about the lz shm's, yes, they are worth the price. i have a good analog front end as well as a good... | |
| tonearm/cartridge matching, mass/damping/tweaking mickeyto answer your question on the arm pod:the three feet do come to points for adjusting azimuth. the knurled knob on the side locks in the post that raises and lowers for adjusting stylus rake angle via the micrometer on the top of the post (c... | |
| tonearm/cartridge matching, mass/damping/tweaking i am one of those "freaks" that you describe...i have a number of arms and tables. the biggest challenge to fit a cartridge is my breuer 8C. it is said to like low mass cartridges, as does the black widow. well, the best fit for my breuer has been... | |
| VTA and cartridge loading vtf definitely affects vta and more importantly sra. actually, a very small amount of vtf affects the sra more than a substantial adjustment in height of the arm at the pivot point.here's an interesting article by fremer:http://www.soundscapehifi.... | |
| how do you determine anti-skate settings? i spoke to the benz micro distributor and they said the same thing as the clearaudio rep said mentioned above by Afc. i was recommended to increase the tracking force of my benz ebony to 2.8gms and back off antiskating to zero.my bass is now rock ... | |
| Stylus Microscope i use a dino-lite 211 for measuring sra. it does the job nicely. what you do need is a very stable support for the scope, like a decent tripod and a macro focusing rail. i posted a discussion on another forum about this. i was coached by wally mal... | |
| Proper loading for Benz Ruby 2 i spoke to the distributor (tricell in canada) about my benz ebony H and my H20 and they recommended 800 ohms for both. on my rhea, for the H20, i find that to be too dark, i float between 1000 and 5000. my ebony has a fixed 47k resistor in my fou... | |
| What vintage Technics tables are best? speaking if jvc, i also built a plinth for a jvc ql-5, added a black widow arm and a soundsmith cartridge. i still prefer the sp25, but that is probably the arm/cartridge combo making the difference. it's hard to compare tables since it's rarely a... |
