| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan For me personally it did not meet my needs either in the plinth that I used. 7 layers of birch version. Not an exotic one like you mention. My current nude set up with isolated arm pod gets me much closer to my personal audio nirvana.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul - I picked up that Sonus Gold on ebay last week on your recommendation - I am using it tonight and it is a nice little cartridge. thank you - I am very much enjoying it. The seller advised 1.7g initially to be lowered to 1.5g after 20 ho... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan thnx so much for the tube book reference. I had such a wonderful time a few years ago swapping tubes when I had an SP8 and changing its sound. I miss that THICK sounding preamp. I have a large drawer full of tubes from the experienc... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Thuchan, Jazzgen, I mounted my 12 JMW memorial on an armpod and set it up on another table on weekend for the Jrs. experiment. It took all of two minutes no numbers or calculations - I put the cartridge in the VPI tonearm head - nice and s... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewn - I would never hate anything that makes great sounds and music. Music is music. How you get there doesnt matter. As long as each of us gets to what makes us happy if that is possible in this hobby. It is a hobby right? There are compli... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Just a short follow up on my experience with the footers used under the platter/motor. First I believe it is more important that you have a good solid level isolated platform. I dont think footers should be used as a bandaid for fix platform prob... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Lewn - I disagree - I think that cantaloupe slices would work better than the orange as they are not as acidic, they are in season right now, and studies have shown when talking to workers from their place of origin that they resonate the least : ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Mass loading is very good at least that is what my ears are telling me. Version one aluminum armpod was only a few lbs lighter than the brass - but the weight was dispersed over a longer armboard. The increased force provided by the brass is a p... | |
| Quads 57 - Lacee - when I brought them home they were bought already.I have multiple speakers in two locations. I already look forward to listening to them every week and enjoying their sound. Even my teenage son picks up on how special they are. I have them... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan I selfishly meant your Eminent Technology arm. But any other surface mount tonearm would make this very simple and quick to try out. Chris | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Deat Thuchan - a suggestion while searching for your screws, that you have a glorious opportunity to test out the sp10 on 3 nice footers. I am sure you must have many lying around ? Your ET arm :) would require one bolt for it to be mounted for te... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I have asked some folks who have gone down this path using various metals in an isolated arm pod to post their comments here. I hope they will be able to provide their input. To me if I had a tonearm with collar - just preliminary thoughts - but a... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch - and others - everything we do in this hobby is at our own risk. We have all lost precious needles. Only when this happens do people do one of three things. Get out of vinyl altogether, buy cheaper cartridges or be VERY careful. I will... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob - I have no problem being the guinea pig. Will try to source some locally first. I have found in the past when talking with some of these manufacturers of these products that their experiences with what we are doing is limited. They can't see... | |
