| Turntable speed accuracy Greetings from Monterey Bay. Just watching a spinning Micro Seiki 5000 with HS-80 inertia unit and a Sutherland Timeline which' laser point is so stable, it almost burns a tiny hole in the wall.I do agree that speed accuracy is a conditio sine qua... | |
| SAEC 308N vs 308SX Dear Nandric, to ease your mind and save the weekend: .... 23° off set sounds perfectly fine for a 9" effective length pivot tonearm ... ;-) ....Cheers,D. | |
| SAEC 308N vs 308SX Dear lewm, dear Nandric, dear Geoch, for those wondering about the odd geometry on many SAEC tonearms ( see 506 for instance ...). SAEC stated that these tonearms geometry was optimized for zero distortion in the inner grooves.This wasn't smart.Ho... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? I had the pleasure of the past 4 years to audition every single version of the Phantom in Syntax' system.Every version includes every effective length too, as Syntax collected all arm wand length available for the Phantom including the 12".It is a... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Dear Dover, the magneglide mechanism does induce a force which again kind of "simulates" a second bearing. Kind of "magnetic semi-unipivot" ...? The mechanical contact is the uni-pivot only, but there is undoubtedly a lateral force which act simil... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Lewm, indeed the ZYX UNIverse (and other ZYX cartridges) do work VERY well in uni-pivot tonearms as in wooden arm wands. One of the reasons is that the ZYX cartridges do put very little energy into the tonearm during tracking. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Dear Hiho, you're right. I forgot - the Phantom is a semi-unipivot design. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Lbelchev, my comment regarding Luna making up his mind about the cartridges he will use was because - while both tonearms do share similar moving mass - the TW 10.5 and the Grandezza are very different in terms of energy transfer and thus do ... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Luna, as to your original question.You might make up your mind first which are your favorite cartridge(s) you may use in the tonearm of your choice.The TW 10.5 might indeed give you a wide range of suitable cartridges to choose from.A point w... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Dear Hiho, it is the off-set angle at the headshell mounting area. The problem here is, that the off-set of the mounting area is too large for the 10" and especially so for the 12" arm wand.Resulting in additional and unnecessary breakdown torque ... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dgad, "we the people" haven't really noticed your absence. Those able to read without having to go through the matrix of their ego will realize that in the very beginning of any thread - especially with your beloved TW - I only took position again... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Dear Dover, I would second your observations and conclusions. They go hand in hand with mine.Which may result that there will be always listeners who prefer fast energy transfer and listeners who go rather for a damped armtube - with sometimes giv... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? The Koshin/Lustre tonearm is indeed an interesting design. It was sold in pretty large quantities in Germany. Especially so since Thorens offered the Koshin/Lustre as one of the 3 choices coming with a TD126 mk3.The can be bought second hand for a... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Lewm, not only the Reed - you can even adjust azimuth on the venerable FR-60s series tonearms in the way you are used to do it on the Reed. And since you only have a play of say 0 - 2° in both directions, this "hidden" azimuth adjustment opti... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Certainly because of the proofed knowledge and long history in high-tech and precision tooling. |
