| A Copernican View of the Turntable System That's cool, Dgob. So many new things to try. I hadn't even thought of a wall mount shelf, but sounds like it's worth a try. Cool arm pod. How'd you make it 6kg?T_bone: from his system pics it does look like he has the sp-10 on AT 616's and tonear... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yeah, I bought one from " buyincoins_au " and the charger never worked or if it did it didn't work for long. The battery itself works fine though. Been using it for a couple of months with a different plug I had lying about. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System By the way, in the real world there is no such thing as "complete (mechanical) isolation", which is why I take the position that I take.So when someone claims to have built an 'acoustically dead' plinth, claims of death are exaggerated? Or what do... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The arm pod I'm having made is roughly the diameter of the AT 616. When I get my TT back, 3 616's will go beneath the TT and 1 beneath the pod. Hopefully it works out. Before, I had the TT and arm board sitting on different isolation systems: TT o... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System @Ct0517: the guy I bought my AT 616 from is selling the smaller AT 636 right now. May be worth getting if you don't want to wait for the others to show up. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Sorry. Premature. A little bird (and my bottomless desire to buy new audio stuff) suggested that I grab the AT 616 footers, so I did. Now hopefully my technics will stop acting up and work properly so I can try these out. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System FYI: a set of AT 616 footers just showed up on eBay. I would get them but my turntable repairs suggest to me I may not have a functioning sp10 to put on top of these beautiful footers. Sigh. | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Gotta stop checking this thread or else my credit card is going to get dinged. Website lists at $1950. I'm not sure I want to find out whether the sale price is still good, but... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Thanks Pubul57. Good to know since I would have bought them had they shown up at a decent price. the M60's generate too much heat, I've read. I live basically in the desert, so no go. | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Buy one used, you'll sell it in a few hours if it doesn't work for you in your room - only you can tell.That's the problem with trying to find a used RM10--they vanish before I can even see them. Happened just yesterday. Didn't even get to see the... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Believe it or not, the best I've heard Vandersteen 2s (and I've heard them a lot) was with a 35 watt Music Reference RM10...This is really good to know since I've been itching to get the rm10 but was worried about it driving my Vandys 2ce sigs. Th... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Why has my thread 'A Copernican View of the Turntable System' been completely erased?First they erase your threads, then your identity. You're next, Halcro. ;)I bet when someone was trying to fix the earlier problem, they accidentally hit delete. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris, I should be picking my sp10 up tomorrow. It took awhile because I kept adding stuff for Mirko to do. I'll have a tonearm pod a la Halcro which will sit on these cool feet he originally designed to replace those on the Microseiki Rx-800... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Of course there will be an "improvement" when you go to the bigger feet. This stuff has become so subjective and so uncontrolled (in the scientific sense) that there is a huge placebo effect. If you are prepared to like it, and if your turntable d... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Thanks, Raul.Ok, I get first dibs on the next set of 616 that go up for sale.Seriously though: what is the function of the weight guidelines for footers? The sp10 mkii weighs around 20 lbs, so one of the 616 would be sufficient, weight-wise. That ... |
