| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, I in "IMHO" think that "the best" or "fact" in correlation with high-end audio is in most cases a classic self-deception. This however is no problem at all, if it is a personal preference and taste. But since in audio we all ( in the ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul, +++++ " I certainly am perfectly fine, if the discussion returns to and concentrates on the ultimate audiophile fallback position: "I and a few others prefer that sound". " ++++agree, you can't argue with only words against people that ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewm, as a direct response to your post 01-18-11, I think that the most important energy in the turntable system is in fact emitted by the tracking process itself. The rotating platter is not the problem (in fact, it is a rather self-stabiliz... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, Lewm, Raul, et al - I assume that on a whole we all do in fact agree on the topic of "bad plinth" tt vs "naked" tt ( in the sense of the absence of a poor designed and resonate plinth which doesn't add any good to the performance, but... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0517, in my 30+ years of high-end audiomania, most of the real great "sonic improvements" came out of giving things a deep and throughout thought. Plain field experiment and try-and-error is anyway as good as my approach. It is just that I ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, I don't want to spoil the picture of the "magnetically elevated above a shelf DD tt" with the "rigidly held, isolated armpod fixed to the shelf, so that the geometrical relationships with the elevated turntable/platter remain correct ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul,a force vector diagram can tell how the different forces act and where they go (which I think is a very interesting question in itself .... ) and as such will explain the contribution of a "plinth" and will explain that there is always a... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewm, it is just a plain force vector diagram - nothing that would require anything specific. And no, the fact that for specific examples of different TTs ( moving mass, static mass etc.) some individual factors will show different values, do... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, don't just think of "plinth" as a wooden "cage" around the bearing and armboard. Take plinth rather as the "common ground" of both - bearing and armboard - and you have the answer.Again - if you are looking for real arguments, do seek... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, yes, but that is not in any way an empirical test or proof. The Raven is relatively bass-shy and in any case, a relative comparison between the "nude" DD and the Raven is no more than that: - a relative comparison between two TTs.See ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, getting "rid" of the turntables plinth will be very similar (sonic-wise..) to "castrate" the turntable. It is one system. Energy storage, transmission and vibration isolation are much more important issues than commonly believed.The p... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, the turntable, arm and cartridge do form ONE mechanical system. Tonearm and cartridge do form another mechanic-dynamic system of their own. There are wanted and ( more common ...;-) ...) some unwanted side-effects and synergies when p... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Come on Lewm, Copernicus certainly was no twit. If still bounded in certain ways of thinking - and as such deeply routed in its time and spirit - he was nevertheless a mind able to think past the frontiers of his day.I will rather give my comment ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stiltskin, while I certainly enjoy your down-to-earth version of the english language, which apparently matches the level of your systems sound quality, I didn't meant the phrase "cartridge of the month" in any way negative. This thread was initia... | |
| The Placement of Tonearm Counterweights Big problem however is - no matter how good a prospective vacuum, periphery ring and/or clamp holds down the record and tries to achieve "flatness" - the record in itself is far from flat and the journey of the stylus through the groove is a const... |
