| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? "i use 15ips 1/4 inch master tape dubs as my reference and the Telos is as good as those in my system."Mike have you cut records from the master tapes in question. If any tt front end can be as good as a master tape in your system then that sugges... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not "They have no soul, turntables are not 'voiced' to do anything except play LPs"Actually that's not correct. No component is perfect and any finished component represents a series of design compromises that have been chosen by the designer. The des... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - looks like the 2 threads are touching. If so you might want to put a shim under one of the motors to lift it slightly and separate the threads. Would be interesting to try 1 motor/thread. Cheers. | |
| Sirius and Walker Lewm, agree somethings afoot, big communication breakdown here. Nobody wins. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - great game eh. Looks like Dokovich has shown the others how to beat Nadal - ie hard and flat if they can maintain it. Re the bearing, it's a bit of a red herring - I only meant to communicate that in the case of the Final there is high in... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro, it is a tragicomedy, perhaps the brass and woodwinds are just not getting on with the stringed instruments.Could be any number of reasons, but most thread drives are designed with high mass platters and very small concave pulleys. I have t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners From the arm tube to the plinth and the energy resonances measured were very close, ie transmission rate was very high. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Apbiii - Martin Colloms did some testing of energy transmission in the ET2 years ago. He measured the resonances in the arm tube and then in the arm after the air bearing. The conclusions were that the unwanted energy transmitted went straight thr... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Albert Porter/HalcroBit slow today, so I had a drink, Steinlager Pure Blond, much clearer now. Cheers... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Albertporter,This is astonishing, you are saying that every Timeline shipped is calibrated to your SP10mk3. So if your SP10mk3 is out all Timelines shipped could be out.Didn't you just "prove" that after calibrating the Timeline to your SP10mk3 th... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, I used the ET2 before the magnesium arm wand came out. The arm was smooth and gumetal grey under the shrinkwrap. !st I removed the heatshrink, more agile sound, then I removed the foam inside the arm tube - lighter sound but much more tra... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Ct0517, I'm very rusty since its about 15 years since I used the ET2, but from memory I had an I beam with a thin metal strip at the bearing tube end. I packed soft strip ( might have used thin lead or teflon ) either side of the thin metal bit... | |
| seek mc cart recommendation for Townshend Rock III Hi, yes, the reason being is that MC's can put a lot of energy into a tonearm. The Rega 300 arm is excellent for the money but not up to a good MC. A MM will generally put less energy into the arm and sound more relaxed, more natural.I know many p... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Re the Kenwood L07D and the Technics SP10mk3.In understanding the design we must remember these turntables were built for quite different purposes or use. The L07D was an all out assault to produce a state of the art tt for home use. The SP10mk3 w... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm,I struggle with this statement - "among designers of both belt- and direct-drive turntables there seems to be a divide around weak motor/huge platter vs strong motor/light(er) platter"I have never associated high mass platters with low torque... |
