| et-2 damping trough-good idea or not? Raul - what are you trying to gain from this thread ? I thought it was to learn about ET2 damping, which means to me, learning about how resonances affect the tonearm, and how it deals with them. Apparently not from your response. The OP of the th... | |
| et-2 damping trough-good idea or not? Raul - while acknowledging your experience using damping troughs with pivot arms, you need to recognize that the ET 2.0 and ET 2.5 are unlike any pivot arm, especially when discussing resonances, damping troughs and their effect on Q. They are uni... | |
| et-2 damping trough-good idea or not? @rauliruegas Raul - firstly - what I like to keep in mind for myself. It helps me is this. All around us are materials that have their own resonant frequency. Now when something is made - with multiple materials, like a tonearm or a cartridge, the... | |
| et-2 damping trough-good idea or not? Hi Frogman/Raul - hope this helps a little. I needed the rehash. Let’s try to understand this better and hopefully in words that anyone reading this can understand. So we know it’s a resonance, vibration hobby - playing records. As far as the tone... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 uberwaltzDo not forget we gave both America and Australia a perfectly good language and look just what the heck you guys did to it.Sheesh......UW - What "aboot" us Canadians ....eh? Some of the most revelatory audio experiences for me have been me... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? ^^When I cut the power to the motor you can hear the internal gears still working, winding down slowly - as the string is still attached to the pulley it keeps turning the platter. 32.5 seconds. just tried it. Now I don't feel like cutting the s... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? mijostyn - I want to thank you very much for the CD mention on an audio site - it gave me a chuckle . I need some chuckles you know after the Canadian federal election results.8^(Just a forum misunderstanding that's all in this case on the term br... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Appreciate the comments Mike. Mijostyn - Let me try to explain this better. It’s not the string itself that has a "sound". Its how the "material used" is handled by the very small motor pulley, and how the string handles the platter - that produce... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? mikelavignefeedback from CS Port LFT1 users i’ve spoken to is that the Kevlar string works exceedingly well. directly compared to a number of tt’s, belt, idler and direct drive.i’ve not heard it personally. and have never owned a ’string drive’ hi... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? mijostynThe platter is massive, driven by a Kevlar string!mijostynKevlar would not be my choice of material to use on a string drive designed turntable. "been there done that" https://photos.app.goo.gl/4CeXnpSNXhk3fKKv6Kevlar has strength, but is ... | |
| Best Analog for $10K ^^^ R2R does not suffer RIAA Eq. and the lowest bass registers / octaves are in stereo - unlike LP which are in mono. | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Stay the course....8^0 This thread is about Stylus Drag. I said earlier based on my personal experiences, Stylus drag effect is based on the type 1) type of turntable, 2) the type of tonearm used, and 3) the type of cartridge/stylus. The turnta... | |
| Sturdy Turntable Stand ^^^^^^^^This is the route I took for my Room 1 stand years ago; but I bypassed the retailer, and went directly to the Mennonite community. I had them build me a custom - very low and long/wide welded steel frame with hardwood top design. It has an... | |
| Sturdy Turntable Stand mijostynUberwaltz if you can jump up and down in front of the turntable and put the edge of a stethoscope against the platform with music at a moderate volume and not hear an increase in the volume through the stethoscope you are good to go. A bet... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? uberwaltz I routinely run my TT,s and my R2R ever so slightly fast deliberately just for that sense of extra attack, drive and dynamics.Hi Kevin I know a guy that actually likes the speed a little slower. Some of my fondest music memories are of l... |
