Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Glory,I heard the Magico V2 a very long time ago. I was impressed at the time. I think this is the sweet-spot in their line and I'm not a big fan of the aluminum-enclosure speakers even though they get a lot of good press. I have heard systems at ... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Hello folks,I have been living with the MMMicro ones for a while now and can confidently say that it is a superb sounding speaker and excellent value. It has anazing timing, coherence, resolution, and dynamics. The tweeter on the unit is a tour de... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
All,I would like to set the record straight on a few things. Firstly, after re-reading my comments about Evolution Acoustics and Jonathan I have to admit that they were too harsh, very negative and accusatory beyond the line of professionalism. Fo... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I definitely agree with Byroncunningham’s 4 observations and comments. I’m a recent owner of the MMMicroOne having taken delivery last week. I would add a 5th comment to his list. 5. Lack of transparency, lack of trustworthiness and deception dama... 
Stylus Drag
Dover,If belt drive DC motor driven TT's use a closed loop, why do Halcro and I observe that the speed changes on the Raven AC TT with the needle in the groove?Andrew 
Stylus Drag
I assert that small changes in speed caused by stylus drag can be heard. Frogman is heading in the right direction.I would also agree with Tonywinsc that pace/rythm is another way to gauge the effect of speed stability. In my experience, a table w... 
Turntable speed accuracy
I would like to qualify my statment above:"That’s why most DC motor driven TT’s slow down with stylus drag. "I'm referring to DC-motor drives TT's with an open-loop control system. This means that the actual speed is not compared to the set-point ... 
Turntable speed accuracy
Here are some of my own observations and hypothesis:1) Regarding how important platter mass is for speed stability. IMHO you cannot assume a higher platter mass is better independent of drive mechanism. In other words, the platter mass and drive m...

Hi,As this is verging on speed stability, i'll post some new comments on the turntable speed accuracy thread.Andrew 
Tokyo vinyl and audio suggestions
I live in Tokyo now and have purchased a lot of jazz and other vinyl here. Check out the Disk Union shops is Shinjuku, , and Shibuya. I've been to most places here and this is by far the best. 
Stylus Drag
Hi Folks, thanks for your comments so far. Some comments from me:I agree with Halcro that the Raven slows down when the needle hits the groove. I base this on the shift in speed as observed with the KAB strobe disk. So I usually set speed with the...

Empire TT's based on AC motors using belts. 
Turntable speed accuracy
Halcro,In my statement about AC belt driven TT's vs DC motor driven TT, I was meaning belt driven DC TT's, not a DC driven DD.I have no experience with DD's yet. If I get a timeline will try to post some results.Atmasphere,Which Empire TT are you ... 
Turntable speed accuracy
I agree with Atmasphere. Turntables with excellent soundstaging (and resolution of fine detail, dynamics and bass detail)are signtaures of TT's with excellent speed control.In my experience, belt drive TT's with AC moters with ample torque and low...
