| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewn - you can have the most precise and accurate platter/motor assembly - but once you put that crude piece of vinyl on top with all its imperfections - all bets are off. I have found through this approach that all you want the platter/motor... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I needed to think about this over night. I took the soft activity to be any and all the movement that occurs outside of the normal cartridge/stylus retrieval of the signal that needs to occur for us to hear the sound. The tonearm (any type) moves ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch I am trying to understand the benefit or reason for using the Rollerblock Jr. Based on what Dgob is saying and the fact the Rollerblock use bearings how much weight are we really talking about when you say really heavy loaded. I ask... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch and Henry thank you for providing very valid points for consideration. My current armpod has served its purpose - it was built to determine if this approach was valid. It was not expensive to make as materials are available and cheap ... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out Bright-star-audio Absolutely the arm/cartridge relationship needs to be correct. But if you read the post from the OP. "I have moved my TT to another spot at the back with some success. The movement is not as big as before."With no other changes t... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch excellent post. You have provided me with three clear options that I understand and am thinking about. you can cover the entire underside surface (except the 2 holes) with a very fine velvet textile (extra thin without compliance) i... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Inshore - look forward to seeing a picture of the armpod. Just curious as you mention humidity - Is panzerholz affected by humidity as other woods - maple, oak and birch? Cheers Chris | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch - thank u for your recommendations. I use the discs under the spikes. I have however been experimenting with different materials under them. The most recent pics in the site link show the discs along with the removal of the armboard top... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch - thank you so much for your thoughts. You are absolutely correct - I can eliminate that wood layer totally and mount the ET directly to the armpod with the one bolt. The mounting post rides on air with 3 of its own couplers. The plate ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch - it was my intent for the next project to replace my solid aluminum armboard with a brass one and maybe add a panzerholtz tonearm plate on top. From your last post - do you feel this would be worth the expense and effort? Pictures of m... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Banquo - my comment was a general one to anyone reading our thread and to those that have emailed me for a copy of my guide. Thank you again for reviewing it. Since your feedback - I also sent a copy to Raul, Halcro, Nandric, and Lewn for the... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System During my project keeping it simple was the objective and not having to get machinists or other people involved. It was a DIY project to see if I liked the sound. My next step would have been to make a nicer arm pod with the help of a machinist an... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric - I agree with you - my statement should have been clearer and implied "the end cost to us" when we finally get the product. I realize in a small market like this it must be very difficult for the manufacturers. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch No offence taken. Life is short and this hobby is one of the avenues that has allowed me get into the right frame of mind to help deal with my real family and work challenges. We have all probably done what others would call "extreme th... | |
| Quads 57 - I just picked up Wayne PK rebuilt quad 57's. Have been listening for only a couple of days. The panels were sent to him to rebuild by the previous owner. They do not have the protection circuits. I also own Acoustat Spectra 33's and Model 3's as w... |
