| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Wilfredt, prepare for a thousand different views. For me I value speed timing and coherence and I run MIT Oracle/Reference through the whole system. Cardas Golden Reference - sounded warm, coloured and confused, Kondo Silver - pleasant at low leve... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm, no worries. I think there is a lack of real info as DD manufacturers and vendors placed more focus in their advertising on the fact that it is DD. I know the SP10mk3 and Lo7D well and agree with your descriptions of the difference in sonic s... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm, I meant DC motors. As far as I know the following DD's use DC motors - EMT948, Technics SP10mk2&3, Sony PSX9, Kenwood Lo7D, Exclusive P3. The Denon DP100 uses an AC motor. DC motors react to variable loads quite differently to AC motors.... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w Ah yes Wilson Slamms/Conrad Johnson tube amps, not exactly greased lightning, it is always a matter of perspective. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Doesn't this discussion on DD servos highlight the question, does a very high mass platter, with very high inertia, driven by a high torque motor with a belt, thread or fluid drive with built in slippage, such that the platter mass will drive thro... | |
| Turntable hum problem after demagnetizing Try this - get a piece of wire, strip both ends and connect one end to the grounding post on your phono stage. Then try touching the other end to tonearm, turntable subchassis, turntable spindle and turntable motor. As you go through these check f... | |
| Who owns stacked Quads here? My personal experience with stacked quads, driven by Quicksilver 8417's, was that I vastly preferred singles with the panels mounted on open stands that lifted them about about 15" off the floor with the faces more vertical. The sound stage was mu... | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! Stringeen, I can understand springs sagging, but we had no probs with Dynavector 505's which are twice the weight of the SME V, so its a bit of a surprise. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Grr6001 - No one ( to my knowledge ) ever stated it was better than any other TT.Jonathan Tinn had stated in his system ( which now seems to have disappeared) : "The Wave Kinetics NVS Direct Drive Turntable is absolutely in a league of it's own. H... | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! Stingreen - we had no problems with that SME V/SOTA, no trouble levelling the subplatter and sitting at the correct height relative to the plinth. Did you rebalance the plinth with lead shot correctly ? Why do you say it is too heavy ? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - welcome back. Australian politics has been very entertaining of late. Are you putting your hat in for Foreign Minister ? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lespier, I run the Final Audio Parthenon ( heavy patter/thread drive/AC motor with reconstructed sine/cosine wave power supply ). Just waiting for the 1st shipment of Timelines to arrive in New Zealand. I'm not losing any sleep, my references for ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Albert - I love more new tt's coming to the market. It just seems the hyperbole doesn't match the performance. In this case the claims made for energy dissipation in the design seemed at odds with using wooden arms and armboards. I'm not sure stai... | |
| speaker cables for Wilson Sophia Sashafan - you might be trying to fix with cables a problem that resides in your gear elsewhere. I couldn't think of anything worse than listening to Wilsons at a high sound level. The Sasha's have a suckout in the lower midrange, cone breakup at ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy After all the hoopla about the NVS, that was deleted, this is the update from Albert Porter, who is an authorised seller. "Perhaps you forgot, that table was the one damaged in shipping. So in addition to the inferior wooden arm boards, it's beari... |
