| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I have yet to audition the SP10R, so I don't know if they have solved, or lessen, the problem I have with the SP10MK3. However, since a lot of users are perfectly happy with the SP10R and SP10MK3, I suspect this problem may be user dependent, some... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Interesting discussion on adding heavy mat and record weight on the SP10R! While I have not auditioned the the SP10R, I do have experience with the older SP10MK3. Personally, I find the SP10MK3 score hi on the "HIFI" criterion, but I start to deve... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 , thanks! So, basically it regenerates the power and control speed by changing the output frequency! Unlike the SOTA Eclipse, the LDA doesn't have the feedback function, so you have to adjust speed with some sort of probe. I wonder wha... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Is there a webpage that I can learn more about this LDA controller? Thanks! | |
| Reed 5T Opinions @mijostyn , I am no engineer, so I can't even start to argue with Frank Kuzma on his design and viewpoint. I posted the link not because I agree or disagree with it, but just thought it would be an interesting viewpoint for discussion on effective... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine While I don’t have much experience on AC vs DC motors, I agree with Dover that for AC motors, a 2-phase (or 3-phase, depends on the motor) controller is very beneficial! | |
| Top linear trackers @ledoux1238 , I have used high pressure compressor with integrated surge tank for nearly 20 years and never had any problem! For my Rockport arm and pneumatic anti-vibration table, I am using an Jun Air compressor with a maximum output of around 1... | |
| Top linear trackers Hi twoleftears , while the Thales is an interesting design, it has its own set of problems. It still has the skating force to deal with, and I am not sure if it is a good idea to have bearings so close to the cartridge. If I am in the market for ... | |
| Reed 5T Opinions For discussion on high effective mass, it would be interesting to take a look at the following paper by Kuzma on their new Safir tonearm with a 60g effective mass. In contrast to the common believe that cartridge / tonearm resonance frequency shou... | |
| Top linear trackers @ledoux1238 , I am not sure why you want to run the ET in low pressure, unlike your Terminator, capture bearing arms, like the ET, usually perform better at higher pressure, at least up to the limit of the air bearing. This is due to higher pressu... | |
| Koetsu Urushi stylus shape Hi Lewm, If you want to keep the characters of the Koetsu, I caution you on using aftermarket retippers, especially VDH! Just to share my experience, about 20 years ago, I bought a used FR64S and the seller also sent me a vintage long body... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 , I think you have confused the Continuum with the Rockport. If you look at Fremer’s review on the Caliburn in Stereophile , he clearly stated that the Caliburn used "conventional" ball and thrust plate bearing, but with magnetic levit... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 , the Callas kit is nice! I have looked carefully at the photos of the parts, and "I think" I know how it works. I would be interested to get a set if it was still available! However, instead of the ability of easily adjusting the ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 , maybe you were thinking about this : ) | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 , I have mounted the Schroeder on the armpod, but yet to align the cartridge. The brass arm column I am using is similar to the one you posted, but with 2 levels, the bottom level is 65mm tall and the 2nd level (you can call it a space... |
