| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong This flexibility was accomplished through the use of a massive, solid alloy base on which tonearms can be placed anywhere on their respective spindle-to-pivot arcs. Purchasing a Transcendence with a large base enables one to use a ton... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong One interesting design of the Basis Transcendence is that it seems like both the arm pod and motor pod are just sitting on the plinth with no hard connections! No I think they are through bolted from under the plinth. Plinth Some ... | |
| Luxman PD121A - PD441 @chridabs After spending a good few hours back and fourth with a seller apparently the 505MKII or MKIII will not fit on the TP-MT as its 30 mm (1.18 inches). I wouldn't know as I dont have the arm to hand hahahah The micro 505 requires a... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I used compressed bamboo ply - so it works out about roughly 10kg for 80mm plinth. The engineered stone would be more straightforward. Suddenly had a brain explosion - it would be interesting to do a larger plinth and push the feet out... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong Yes - that's my reference TT, has been for 40 years. You must use silk thread - the pulley was designed for it - I use surgical silk - thickish end of the range. I originally bought the Verdier as a 2nd deck for 78's and multiple arm ... | |
| Luxman PD121A - PD441 @chridabs No see here https://www.audio-technica.com/en-eu/cartridges/line-series/at33-series?_gl=1*3n3jrk*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTI1NDc1NTg3Ni4xNzUzODQwMjI1*_ga_9B1Z5FDEW6*czE3NTM4NDAyMjUkbzEkZzEkdDE3NTM4NDAyNDgkajM3JGwwJGgxMzM4MjgzNzA3 Recommended ... | |
| Luxman PD121A - PD441 @chridabs Yes - I have been running an old Audio Technica AT33 whilst my Van den hul Calibri XGW is off for service - it has really surprised me. AT33E ( elliptical ) or AT33PTGII ( micro ridge styli ) are great bang for the buck - better than t... | |
| Luxman PD121A - PD441 Do all the Seiki 505s use the din to rca connectors? As far as I know yes. And is the MK3 a good purchase in terms of options for carts in your opinion? I had one and it was great, even though low mass Gallibrier demoed a 505mkIII with a... | |
| Luxman PD121A - PD441 @chridabs The Micro Seiki arms are very nicely made, and setup is very easy with them. With the 505 series there are S shaped arms that use standard SME headshell fittings. The straight arm versions have a fixed headshell, but you can swap out ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lewm The Verdier motor is garbage - noisy - I could hear mine from the listening chair 4 meters away. This has been well documented in this thread. The theory in the design is that you run the thread very loose such that the platter inertia dom... | |
| Luxman PD121A - PD441 The PD441 is vastly superior to the 121A - better built, heavier platter and better motor drive. I would get that and then find a good tonearm. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I am considering taking this down time to commission a custom plinth made of aluminium/brass or granite, Please do not use granite - it resonates/rings badly. Slate is much better due to its stratified composition. The "Granito" V... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 I hope that's the case. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I don't have a lot of faith in Project. If you look at the workings of their expensive EAT turntables, despite the lovely plinths and massive platters - the actual bearings are puny, and the "speed control" circuitry would fit in a cigarette pack... | |
| Analog Magic Question The only issue I have with the Analog Magic is their speed test. It is not possible to accurately measure platter speed using a test tone. The only accurate way is to use a rotary function generator. Here is a quote from Bruce Thigpen - Eminent... |
