| What is Technics thinking? I would describe the difference as follows; say you've finally met that nifty girl and your really like her, so you hold her hand tightly. She knows you like her but it is uncomfortable for both of you, so you loosen your grip a bit. You both feel... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Andysf:The fact that lowering the torque made such a profound difference caught me of guard a bit. My Mk3 has 16Kg-cm starting torque (what it is nominally I haven't a clue). I calculate that I have my GAE operating between 1.3 and 1.45 kg-cm of t... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Typo correction: "saturation" | |
| What is Technics thinking? Thanks Andysf. I looked at that graph, smh. This is a marketing stunt. They have a formula which based on their premise would have all and EVERY 12 pole motor cogging, coreless or with iron. Further they state this is a 12 pole motor when the lea... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Free upgrade for your SL1200 G/GAE :) Now that I have some miles on my table and I am familiar enough with its various traits I decided to experiment with the Auto/Manual Torque setting. It comes from the factory set to A (auto). It sounds excelle... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Also note that this table is software driven and also has two sensors designed to detect and defeat any type of motor related vibrartory issues. This table uses an incredibly complex CPU and software stack to perform its duties. I can tell you FIR... | |
| What is Technics thinking? The mods are nothing more than a switch from a SMPS to a linear PS and a tone arm swap. I personally would not swap the arm for a SME even if I felt like it needed to be swapped. I feel the arm is more than capable and that's after listening to m... | |
| What is Technics thinking? To those interested there is an interesting article discussing how Abbey Road Studios was so impressed with the table that they have installed them in their mastering studios.http://www.thevinylfactory.com/vinyl-factory-news/abbey-road-technics-sl... | |
| What is Technics thinking? OOPS!!! I literally ment to type "Mr. Fremer" and not Framer. That was autocorrect and it did it again when I was trying to post this retraction but I caught it this time. No disrespect intended, I generally enjoy Mr. Fremers reviews and I certain... | |
| What is Technics thinking? All direct drives do not cog. Any non-coreless motor can cog, including belt drive tables. Also, because a belt drive is usually turning at 300rpm, multiple resonance modes are being induced into the platter. Now, I'll admit that I have yet to hea... | |
| What is Technics thinking? I own the Sl1200 GAE and an Artisan Fidelity SP10 Mk3 NG and I can say that the new table sounds awesome and it does not cog. I ran my table at 78 rpm for about 200 hours to seat the bearing. This makes a big difference. I think it was an incredib... | |
| Experience with AMR DP-777 Note, I am not referring to the relay/IC chip overheating if the unit does not have enough airflow when I wrote: "I suspect some of these people are not telling the whole..,". I was responding to pleople who claim just rolling tubes will take a ch... | |
| Experience with AMR DP-777 I have owned my DP777 since about the end of 2010 or beginning of 2011 and I have NEVER had a problem with it EXCEPT of my own doing. I rolled tubes with it in standby mode and did NOT actually power the unit down. Being an Elec Eng, one would thi... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? cleemartin:We we have the same incredible arm/cartridge combination. My system literally brought Diana Krall and the hall into my home last evening on the 45 album All For You. I have the XRCD 24 version of this album ($55) and on my AMR DP 777 Si... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? I know the feeling :) I would suggest an Ikeda 407 or a Kuzma 4 Point. You simply can't go wrong with either. Also the Reed 2P is quite worthy. I am am listening to my SP10 MK3 as I am typing this response, ShellyManne & His Men; sounds awesom... |
