| 9", 10" or 12" tonearms Of course you are right Audiofeil, tonearms like the SME 3012 (any version), FR-66s, FR-66fx, Ikeda IT-407, Ortofon 309, EMT, DaVinci 12, SAEC 506, SAEC 8000, AC-4400, Schroeder 11.5" are all 12" (or slightly more... or less) but do range rather l... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Lewm, again - ALL OTHER FACTORS are identical. Force vector of stroke, felt, air, humidity, everything except the thickness of the slate.This elaborate analysis you found is what it is - a nice mathematical analysis of the forces, speed, impa... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Lewm, dynamic mass of a TT is certainly important, as it adds considerably to its inertia (and is thus a matter too of the "geographical" dispersion of that dynamic mass in the horizontal distance to the "eye of the hurricane" - i.e. the bear... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dover, my tonarm/cartridge is silver-wired FR-66s/B-60 w/FR-7fc special. I am currently re-designing my initial TT from the 1990ies. It will be finished late this winter. I will post pictures and a description when finished. | |
| 9", 10" or 12" tonearms The longer tonearm results in less derivation from the tangential zero tracking error line. Sonically it gives a wider soundstage with more stable individual positioning. Furthermore you can expect to hear less distortion in climax' and critical h... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? I am familiar with the Final audio products - and with the Parthenon. As for "timing" and speed control. My table runs with the big Studer Capstan motor with regulation and Studer speed control. This was good enough for the majority of the music r... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Thuchan, see whenever possible I look for the option which does involve the least periphery and as few parts which can actually fail. Thus bringing the meantime before failure as well as the percentage of possible failure to the minimum possi... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Thuchan, smart as it looks, expensive (and thus tempting...) as it is and originating from both our fatherland ( and thus I would love to promote it for its origin alone, - against all global thinking...) with its long time fame for excellent... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Managing the vibration introduced by the tracking process is a different matter. This is not disputed in any way by me. However - the isolation from OUTSIDE vibration traveling into the TT - is essential, a true conditio sine qua non. The inherent... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Writing off air-bearing featuring TT's categorically because of an individual point of view how bearings in TT's work and interact with tonearm, plinth and underground is not at all an approach worth further consideration. While the SP-10 MK3 is a... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Lewm, well - pretty fruitless to discuss a long proven physical fact (which the longer running distance on the thicker slate plate billiard table is) or at least it direct (objective !) technical result - isn't it?Well Thuchan - in fact we are not... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Lewm, this is all a matter of the conservation of energy. The rolling billiard ball is just an analogy to illustrate (roughly..) the behavior of two masses in contact with each other and with VERY different individual masses and the smaller m... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Lewm, on the "billiard analogy" ALL other factors (level, felt/fabric, size etc.) are the very same - the only difference being the mass underneath the felt. Be it slate, granite or (seldom...) other hard stone. Check out billiard tables - the hug... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Hi Mosin, to add inertia and by doing so increasing speed stability of the moving system is indeed a wise decision. However - this added "dynamic mass" is not "seen" by the stylus assembly as it is only a dynamic (sic) part of the moving system. T... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Lewm, I am not familiar with the Saskia. There will be a mathematical term possible to give figures of the platter mass in relation to the energy level emitted by the stylus while extracting the information from the groove. This is of course ... |
