A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Hi Nandric,

There is one solution that works pretty well for DD TTs that came out of the wilds of Maine and from the mind of Andy...floating on air. However, it seems to better loved in Texas than it was on the rainy Northwest coast here in the US...something to do about the elimination of cartridge bottlenecks downstream.

As for those above-mentioned wonderful 1982 solutions...the minus-Ks will be coming along by mid-November to be here in time for the arrival of the Dietrich-Bavarian fully modified big Micro SX-8000 and RX-3000 turntables; of course, I will be patiently waiting for the new Bavarian tonearm to share time with the FR-66s early next year.

Hi Thuchan,

Yes, my weight requirements for the Minus-K platforms were not as demanding as your needs. I only required 100 lb. and 125 lb. platforms for my tables; however, I do see where they do have a 250 lb. solution now available in their platform mix. Good luck in working out a fix for your isolation requirements, I am sure that you will find what you are looking for... I will post my observations when it all constellates in November.

BTW, thank you for your direct and indirect help kicking me off on this new adventure...indirectly when I run into spousal resistance, I always quietly show her the extent of your growing audio virus :-).

Hi Syntax,

I do enjoy your tall sense of humor :-)!

Yes, bandwidth is always a consideration in obtaining great design and implantation!

Thanks again for your kind encouragement regarding maximizing the reduction of distortions along the signal path of the audio chain.
