I did not know Bruce T was responsible for the SOTA vac hold down system….
Thx for sharing that.

3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢
We can do things today that were only dreamt of even 10 years agoExcept learn from history, harvest experience, expertise and craftsmanship......
@richardkrebs That said, within its limitations, the platter speed app does give a reasonable snap shot of what the platter is doing and is thus useful in differentiating between TT’s, as I have been trying to demonstrate.I dont agree - too many variables. My nephew has a double PHD in Maths and Physics, specialises in predictive modelling, and even with the firepower at his disposal ( heads up a team for one the worlds largest banks ) I doubt that any conclusions could be drawn even if you had a database of 1000’s of tests - by conclusions I mean anything statistically and scientifically relevant. We are measuring well in excess of 1 million directly read samples per revolution. GP Monaco made similar claims, and then they came out with a Mark 1.5, then a Mark 2 and so on. Of course there are now electrical components capable of switching at a trillionth of a second, so a million every 1.8 seconds might impress the pundits, but what does it mean really - your TT almost as good as digital ?? |

Dear @richardkrebs : "" within its limitations, the platter speed app does give a reasonable snap shot of what the platter is doing and is thus useful in differentiating between TT's "" I remember that about 15-20 years ago in this same forum we were in a thread making some comparisons between TTs specs and w&f was one " critical " parameter on that comparisons. Some one there that I can't remember for sure ( I think was T-bone. ) posted that w&f can't tell us the whole true about because we don't know which test record/tonearm/cartridge were used to achieve that w&f figure. Now, TT Japanese manufacturers ( I think ) knew this " trouble " that could impedes that the spec all of us can be take it as a " reference " but that's what we all have from last 50 years. Does not exist other " standard " for that measures spec and we audiophiles needs " something " as reference. All de " bibles " on audio items characteristics/specs came in that way either the japanese bible as the information that came from years in magazynes as Audio and Stereo Review and I think High Fidelity too !!! What BT posted is only useful for each individual system owner with the lab to do it and this just can't happen. So it's not that reviewers are wrong because that's what they have on hand. Your wide explanation of the yellow raw frequency is really an eye open and truly welcomed. It's really easy: we can't do what BT did it to prove that his LT is " superior " and why is that way and his explanation is welcomed too but impractical for us mere mortals. Try to be scientific in extreme as dover likes is interesting but in this specific regards useless. Yes I learned today from all of you and thank's for that. R. @dover "" It is not possible to measure wow & flutter using a test record. "" It's what we have, so no real alternative but to read the raw frequency in the app like it or not. |
