| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Kirkus, - well a Micro RX-5000 on a (specified for the Micro 5000's weight load) Minus-K is already a different beast. The one vital point is, to really use a platform only, which is specified for the exact weight of the turntable in question... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Well, we do not have to re-invent the wheel here. All this research about suspension has already been done by industry with huge amount of manpower and technical resources. These problems are solved. We just have to apply them to the turntable sys... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Kirkus, there was no way to put that design into a commercial product. Too big (the Caliburn, Goldmund Reference, Micro 8000, Raven etc. were all dwarfs in size), too heavy, too much periphery, your wife would have shoot you and divorce (not ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Kirkus, indeed. Suspension of ANY turntable from vibration (if possible from air vibration = sound pressure too........ but that is another story...) is elementary. It is not a question of idea, philosophy or sound preference. It is vital to ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Halcro,******......."Surely Dertonarm, if pure physics made it all 'black and white' and "I have yet to see a turntable design done right."?.......why have you not yet......done it!? "******I did.Almost 20 years back. Together with 2 collegue... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Raul - I do agree with you 100%. We - the customers - are indeed responsible for the products we get. Unfortunately we are a very small group inside the whole market for audio playback. As our buying power is way too small for the (global pla... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Kirkus, Lewm, (Teres ??) and Dan_ed, if we all join forces in this discussion I am positive that it will become a really worthwhile discurse. Of course - stylus drag is rather a very variable force and can not really be called a "constant".So... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hey Dan_ed, really ? I expected my post would provoke something like this. After all nobody likes big mouth with no proof behind...........Any other Agoner interested in this ? Specs including given reasons - or plain specs ? Including material se... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Teres, yes, I could grant your last post with some technical counterpoints and facts, but the only result will be argument.But I can not resist.****Thankfully, turntable design is not pure physics. A good design also includes compromises, tas... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear Teres,stylus drag is only an issue if the record is not firmly clamped down to the platter. If the record is not firmly clamped down, we do not need to talk about correct application or technical issues anyway. This is basic parameter. If sec... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction I agree with you Dan_ed. However - the eddy current brake approach as shown by J.C.Verdier isn't all that costly. All you need are 2 old 15" woofer dirivers magnets which never suffered from shock or extreme low temperature. Thats about all you ne... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction As to my knowledge all La Platine Verdier sold after 1995 do already feature the ball supported bearing. So those can't actually "fall down", as the vertical position is already determined by the ball bearing and no longer by magnetic force. The P... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Lewm, two magnets rotating in a horizontal = planar sphere do indeed produce an eddy current field. The Platine Verdier folks and dealers will hate me for this .......anyway:The current La Platine does feature somewhat lower quality magnets (compa... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hi Dan_ed, nobody else aside from Jean Constant Verdier did combine these three effects with one very simple device (two magnetic rings of large diameter (in fact former Focal 15" woofer magnets pre-1990 vintage):- a true eddy current brake on ver... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hi Dan_ed, I do not use the Platine Verdier. Furthermore I do not see that I have refered in any way to the sound of the Platine Verdier.Did I ?My comment was about a construction feature of the Platine Verdier which was used in this turntable ind... |
