| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Nandric, as stated before ... peace inside the ECC ...;-) ....- times are rough enough right now ..... especially for Greece.I enjoyed my holidays on the south coast of Crete for years and have learned to love and respect the people there.Eve... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Nandric, it was rather an Austrian with a terrible austrian-styrian accent ... even better in the 1st sequel ...Peace on earth - and within the ECC...Cheers,D. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Syntax, not really simple in graduations - rather more or less convenient and simple to construct, but not ideal. Each of these drives in turntable design do imply that there will be errors induced by the drive which have to be fought back by... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan, sure - combinations of two drive principles are possible (yet not necessary...and hardly ever useful).But we can go for as well for other drive principles which - IMHO and soon to be put under the spell of quod erat demonstrandum - c... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Well - as posted earlier - IMHO both BD as well as DD have way too many restrictions/problems to be the right choice for a turntable trying to approach the state of the art.Which doesn't mean that idler drive (ID...) is the way to go.There still a... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Dgob, sorry, but IMHPOV (" in my honest point of view" ...) the chain of links between tonearm, headshell and cartridge can't be found be "try-and-see-approach".At least not, if you out for anything of absolute (not quantified nor qualified v... | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? Sure you can work w/o extra weight. And it still does some good for your sound. If you're satisfied with 60% performance - than you are fine.If you want the full benefit from your Vibraplane (read: lowest possible resonance frequency - as this is ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Henry, won't disappoint you.... ;-) .. it's not high mass or not ..... it is applied physics or not.This shouldn't be about what we like or not, but what is necessary to achieve a certain result.We may not always like the path of physic ( can b... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear all, I must admit that - for the very first time in any thread on Audiogon I have participated in - it is much more fun just standing by and watching ....from a distance,D. | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Dover, if you wait a few months, you can answer Halcro's last question with much more ease ....;-) .....Cheers,D. | |
| Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit? Dear Peterayer, any vibration isolation platform does only work at its best when operated as close as possible to its maximum payload.Right now your Vibraplane doesn't work at all.You should consider adding a very heavy grantie or similar load pla... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Thuchan, I know that you are one of the most generous, open-minded and modest man I've meet in Audio and I know that tolerance is high on your agenda.And you know that I have quite some respect for the Cobra - something I can't say about that... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Isochronism, I know you as a man of taste and aesthetics alike. I have no doubt, that the Cobra (don't think so of the Copperhead) will have it's place in audio history.It won't end like the FR-66s with a much higher price tag than new 25 yea... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Thuchan, I was referring to Henry's initial post ....... and Dover's comment on the outlook of the arm wand is a bit disrespectful, but not to far fetched (okay - the frostbite banana is heavy stuff !).I know that both - you and Henry do cher... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Careful folks - Dover was referring to the outlook only and he is pretty on track with his description.This is NOT about any performance nor prospective technical advance or new feature of the Cobra arm - it was/is about "looks".And - well ... - i... |
