| Direct Drive turntables Dertonarm, An interesting test. I'll have to give it a try. But the test is about record slippage and not stylus drag (at least the way I define stylus drag). I generally prefer clamping. I suspect that this is mainly due to better coupling to the... | |
| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. Doug, with acrylic platters grounding the platter makes a big difference. With the wood platters it does not matter as much. I think that the reason is simply that wood builds up a lot less static. But even in the case of a wood platter grounding ... | |
| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. Thom is correct, grounding the bearing will help. The motor housing is grounded and grounding the platter puts both at the same potential. | |
| Direct Drive turntables I think that the topic of record slippage is red herring. I am not aware of any evidence (listening or otherwise) that slippage is happening. However, there is plenty of listening evidence that some phenomenon is at play that fits the concept of s... | |
| Direct Drive turntables Mapman, Spinning a platter at an average speed of 33.3333 is very easy. In fact it is fairly easy to get the accuracy to 4 or even 5 decimal points (not that it matters much). The problem is making it constant at a microscopic level, or at least t... | |
| Direct Drive turntables The term speed accuracy is often misused and misunderstood. It usually is meant as average speed. The speed accuracy numbers quoted are always average speed and are mostly meaningless. Our ears are quite insensitive to average speed and most of us... | |
| Direct Drive turntables I have had an opportunity to listen to DD, Rim drive and belt drive on essentially the same turntable and there advantages and disadvantages to each.Belt drive is by far the easiest and least expensive to get good results. The isolation afforded b... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System I also bought one at RMAF and I am very happy with it. The actual cleaning regime seems to be superior to any other method. Using immersion, ultrasonic and counter rotating brushes surely does a superior job of cleaning. But this is counterbalance... | |
| Anyone Heard the New Soundsmith Sussurro Cartridge Raul, the SG does conform to the RIAA EQ. But perhaps not as accurately as you think is necessary.The beauty of the SG setup is that the mechanics of the transducer naturally produces EQ that is nearly the same as the RIAA curve. So the preamp onl... | |
| Morch Moerch UP4 or DP6 I have done side by side comparisons of the UP-4 and the DP-6. The DP-6 does sound considerably better, but it also costs more. I really do not like the ergonomics of the UP-4, too wobble'y. If the difference was only the sound then it would be a ... | |
| How Does the Soundsmith I did not mean to denigrate the Universe. It is among the very best that I have heard and was my reference for a number of years. I happen to prefer the Voice in my system and with my tastes. The question was how the Voice compares with expensive ... | |
| How Does the Soundsmith Doug,I suspect that what you heard at RMAF was not an accurate representation of the cartridges, but rather the systems they were being presented in. The Soundsmith cartridges you mention are clearly more articulate than the Universe. The Universe... | |
| How Does the Soundsmith I recently switched to the Voice as my reference cartridge. My previous reference cartridges were a ZYX Universe and a Koetsu Jade Platinum. To my surprise I found the Voice much more satisfying than the ZYX or Koetsu. It is an extremely fast, art... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high >>> I have no questions - at least not in Audio. <<<Am I reading this correctly? I hope it's not as it sounds. I have tons of questions about audio. The more I learn the more questions I have. That's what makes this so much fun. ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction ###- possible highest platter weight- possible to use high inertia for self-stabilized speedAt least the last two reasons can not be used with idler or dd drives. ###Wow you are dead wrong about this. The Rockport Sirius is direct drive and uses a... |
