| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Axel, ...... back to the object of this thread: in terms of both - craftsmanship and tooling - I would go for the Raven (but I don't need to....).Both - Raven (whatever incarnation) as well as Gabriel do both desperately need a working isolation t... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel I know that this will lead to nothing but more questions, but nevertheless:- operating the Verdier TT with a thread/string and minimal grip will minimize the requirements to the motor and maximize the benefit of the platters inertia to give excell... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Trying to "controll" a heavy platter in motion with 33 1/3 rpm by a "motor" is a nice try. You have a constant "war" between the inertia of the platter and the torque and regulation of the motor.I am sure we will have several protagonists for this... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Braa........ make your selection, choose the names you like - look around on A'gon and the magazines. Giving names here would just mean taking position and raising new potential for dispute. But - to give just one idea.... - J.C.Verdier does offer... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel ...... or give a listen to a TT with a different concept. In other words - do audition a TT with comparable platter size and mass, but with a working low frequency suspension. The difference in low level resolution, bass speed, authority and "air"... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Dgad, sorry again - Stillpoints, Spikes and other direct (or via one or several hard components...) coupling devices have nothing to do with isolation from periphery vibration. You just have a different "coupling" to the underground, but the vibra... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Dgad, any isolation platform deals with mechanical vibrations only - airborne pressure (loudspeaker etc.) do of course need different measures.A isolation platform with a resonance frequency below 1 Hz however does deal with microvibrations as wel... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Dgad, suspension in cars and isolation from periphery vibrating ground (shelves, floor, wall) has very little to do with each other.While your thoughts do indeed reflect some popular high-end audio "theories", they are not on a solid physical basi... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Sorry Downunder, but NO motor in high-end audio TT's is anywhere close to what is possible regarding quality and quiet regarding vibration.It gives a really nice insight into the subject of micro-vibrations if one gives a close look into electron-... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Downunder you would need a customized platform - or you increase the distance of the motors (a friend of mine did so with his AC-2 on a vibraplane with great results).Minus-K does have fairly small sized isolation platforms.As for the motors - the... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? We will always have different opinions about what platter drive is the "best" because we see here -again - different "schools".I - again - just want to mention the fascinating idea first proposed by japanese audio engineers about using the string ... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Alectiong, you are right. I strongly suggest having a look at both - the Vibraplane and the Minus-K.They are different - in function, resonance frequency and price - and you will have do decide which to use. In any case - make sure that the motors... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel BTW - I still do not believe that this exchange of sidekicks is in any way of any use for anyone. It is a waste of time.Syntax has provided some personal experience and remarks.Some didn't like those remarks.Fine.Just put some experience of your o... | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Great Audiosix !You graced this community with yet another post packed with invaluable technical input and strictly on topic - as usual. | |
| Da Vinci AAS Gabriel Thank you very much - Audiosix gives a fine example what I meant in my earlier post......Indeed the bad virus from AAA.As always - off topic. |
