FrogmanThe less compliant double spring usually yielding a more controlled, defined sound with tauter and faster bass. More compliant springs have produced sound that is generally fuller, but less-well defined; fuller mids and lows, but less-well ...

Mosin. Have always tried to teach my kids to think big. Tried to follow some of my own advice. thanks for popping my bubble on the idea...Cheers 
After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier
Hi Mosin – something a little different maybe - outside the box. is this even possible ?I'd like an ultra high end controller only. You're not allowed to touch the manufacturer's motors. A controller that has the balls to handle the Jean Nantais L...

Well I am not sure what to say now. I gotta admit that the folks from down under and specifically NZ, are not a subtle group by any means. You all seem to be in close proximity to one another? Can you by chance hear each others stereos when you tu...

Dover - if I may say - you come across as a real hard ass sometimes in your posts; but you have a very direct sense of humor. lmfao.btw - what I just said my kids say to me alot. they unfortunately both being only 18 have not yet seen alot of my h...

Thanks for the info Richard. The thought that there may be more going on with the decoupled counterweight was triggered by your post where you quoted BT where he said that the ibeam had a natural frequency of 2-5 hz.The figure I quoted is from the...

Richard - re your last post. .....So with reference to a rigid or sprung counterweight beam, it is probably an all or nothing event. In other words because we have the "potential" interaction of the swing frequency of the beam and the resonant fr...

Hi Dover- ... interesting post. thanks Wikipedia is ok ...Youtube can be effective too? I hate theory so the animation helps me alot; another reason I like posters here on the forum that talk to their direct experiences - not what if this or that....

03-13-13: Ct0517The Rockport and Kuzma tubing makes me think of my past experiences with my VPI JMW 12 tonearm. That tonearm’s wires are used as its antiskating method. Their positioning pushes the tonearm back toward the outside.Could the tubing...

Hi Thekong Lead is also banned in Canada. Based on the shape and size of the ET2 counterweights here is an easy DIY alternative. Go to any tire shop and pick up a couple of the lead weights that they use on wheel rims. They are of substantial size...

Some impressions –First Some text from Richards very interesting post of 03/14/13http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1325551242&openflup&527&4#527For input frequencies that are 300% of the resonant frequency we get transm...

Hi ThekongDuring the testing phase, my ET2.5 will be set up with a ClearAudio Sigma. When the final comparison comes, I will be using the Ortofon A90 between the Rockport and the ET.Look forward to your observations. Based on their specs for compl... 
Now what?
I like the sound of the Rega Apollo-R, but I don't like how it won't read disc that aren't perfect.I guess this could be frustrating but: In speaking to Rega technicians many years ago about my Saturn, they told me that Rega established a standard...

Richard The resonance frequency figures we have from BT that we have discussed here. ET 2 (5 - 6 hz) ET 2.5 (2 - 3 hz) due to the larger spindle plus weighing a little more - not sure what the actual gram number is. So at 3x the resonant frequency...

Richard/Dover - Do either of you playflute?
