| Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra plus custom LPS+ linear power supply. I had this combo and was so happy with it I nutted twice without even using a vibrator. Needless to say I regret selling it | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? I bought a house from an engineer who briefly worked at AR in the sixties. He left a bunch of stuff in the attic including some eico el84 "integrated monoblocks" an eico tuner with a cats eye rectifier and a bag of vintage tubes. Also some open... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Also, the Deulund oil impregnated tinned speaker wire is beyond great at the price | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? I'm pretty shocked by the price / performance of the mhdt labs "orchid" dac I purchased this year ( with tube adapter to 6922 ).Reference 3A Decapo 40th yr Anniversary edition has gotten me off the upgrade path. They are incredibly good music ... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch Pick up a pair of used Heresys and if you like them but need "more" sell them ( klipsch heritage sell fast in my experience ) and move up the line. The new forte sounded very good at Axpona btw and is gorgeous. The Heritage line can sound wonde... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Chakster you really dont get it do you? My belt drive does speed as well as a direct drive and is a 65# beast. Some other belt drives too. Any reasonably engineered tt can do it ( manufacturing a different story ) plenty of other parameters affect... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Thanks for the kind words. Yes the maglev implementation (when properly executed) is a win win, although it does add a bit to cost. I remember our conversations and enjoyed them. As you discovered assembling a top notch tt can be frustrating!Rega... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? I'm still in business but not taking orders currently. The tables are difficult to manufacture and I am looking into ways to simplify a few procedures. Actually my table has little in common with the Trans Fi. Sorry. Lol ( but he makes great g... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? My "Alloy Convertible" turntable routinely measured .02 wow and flutter and platter rundown times of as much as 7 minutes, also dead quiet Bruce | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Imo, heavy platters are MUCH better, however care needs to be taken to relieve the bearing of its weight. It's one reason heavy platter turntables cost more. | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? TomwhYou will need an air bearing or a magnetic assist for that kind of weight | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Agree. I'm fond of the Phoenix controllers and used them with my tables. Too bad they are gone. | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? None of what you presented was evidence justifying your former comments, just subjective listening with a ton of variables. What does "opposite " even mean? Like I said before well executed versions of each technology can compete with each ot... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Wow, you are quite misinformed. Belt drives use low hundreds rpm motors, idlers use motors in the 1500-2k rpm range. Threads dont stretch like rubber belts and stylus friction is true of all turntables. Idlers and dd have plenty of issues and ... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? My goat is hard to get, but shows up occasionally. The forces in well designed oil and air bearings essentially prevent what you described above. There is no contact, or wear or "tilting", generally. my bigger point is bearing design accounts f... |
