....well, this is not the AAA.....(german audio forum compared to which Audiogon is kind of cultural paradise....).And I hope it is not developing in that direction.It would be a real shame and pity.Several german audiophiles already left that for...

Before getting into the car and on the road home.........It might be helpful to re-read the initial post which started this thread.It is not about "do everybody has to agree upon the sonic quality of the AC Raven in its various incarnations".Alect...

Dear Dgad, honestly - I do not think you do Thomas W. nor his products any good in prolonging this dispute (if it is one at all) with Syntax. Syntax makes clear and sometimes too clear statements which very often do tease people.Just think about i...

******On the more serious side, I got some other then comic relieve hearing about the function and performance of tt's: >> “best quality PERFORMANCE” has absolutely nothing to do with a topology of quality of your or my turntable. << *... 
Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1
Thuchan, I could not agree more...Preconceptions and "experiences" long gone and the result of different conditions no longer apparent, do sometimes cloud the sight and most often do serious block new paths which could lead to much better results....

Well, - on the other hand (chinese doesn't have that much in common with japanese as it might seem from the western point of view....) there was true audiophile high-end in Nippon VERY different from what we think/thought by looking and listening ...

Its not about using a belt at all.I would never use a belt - not on a Micro Seiki nor on any other "belt drive" TT.A belt is always a source of instability and in worst case much more than a filter.The RX-5000 and SX-8000 were designed by Micro Se...

What is here disputed about the Micro Seiki skeleton TT's was already done so widely and brought to conclusion by the later 1980ies.Micro Seiki introduced the Hs-20 and HS-80 to further improve the performance of the RX-1500, RX-3000, RX-5000 and ... 
Arm geometry and mounting distance
Dear Henry, you are an architect.Let me try to illustrate the point in a language which is familiar to both of us. As long as there is any overhang still possible with the tonearm you mount (even if the mounting distance is off according to the ma... 
Establishing a common analog listening bias
Hi Bob,as far as I am concerned, I am fine with every suitable record which is READLY AVAILABLE NEW and to everyone.Thanks, D. 
Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1
Fm_login, sorry, but I am way past that period in my life when I was young and angry enough to react to a comment as sophisticated and throughout displaying deep audiophile and mechanic insight as yours.Sorry that basic vector geometry is BS to yo... 
Establishing a common analog listening bias
Sounds good to me.The Eagles album would have been one of my suggestions in the Rock/Pop department anyway. 
Establishing a common analog listening bias
Are both albums currently available new ? 
Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1
No matter if you use the RX-5000 or SX-8000 II- the advantage of a proper aligned flywheel in opposite position to the motor drive is in the fact that the bearing will be free of horizontal force.This will minimize bearing noise to the lowest poss... 
Arm geometry and mounting distance
Dear Henry, I won't comment on the effective length in conjunction with manufacturer specified mounting distance, as this will no doubt (since it had done so in the not so far away past....) bring up all the tonearm geometry experts who do claim t...
