| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Halcro, as you know, I am low tempered and a rather remote character .... while I really like the Cobra's VTA-tower in execution and handiness ( I had a good, intense and deep look at it at Thuchan's), I am not really taken by the late 1940s ... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Atmasphere, yes, it can still has an aesthetic appeal and yes, you are right - the plane of the record needs to be meet by the bearing. The criteria will be meet .... pretty soon.Cheers,D. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan, all those features you've listed are fine and involve a few materials or applications seldom seen in tt design, but there is nothing that is actually new in the sense that it was never done before.There were even - if not in finished... | |
| Pines of Rome Living stereo Orig vs reissue It is important what lacquer you are referring to when talking about the "original". The 1s Pines is vastly superior in low bass thunder and dynamic to any later pressing.This was called back by RCA because of too high dynamic swing and reported d... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Halcro , agree about the Telos. Joel Durand apparently went into a slightly different direction now compared to his Talea-design.Beautiful ..... well not really.In terms of optics, I am rather unimpressed.But I am sue we will see huge and ent... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Peterayer, as for the Wave Kinetics NVS - yes, I have seen the pictures and have read the description given by the manufacturer.Being one of the very few serious DD turntables in recent years, it will no doubt get some following in the audiop... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Hifihvn, yes, but german attention ( obsession ..? ) in attention to detail and precision was apparently more readily adapted by the japanese students in their prewar traveling of the western hemisphere ....;-) ...Dear Nikola, Thuchan is much... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, this statement of yours in principle, I am against any turntable which sits on 'springs' as this almost certainly invites the turntable to 'move'.....possibly laterally as well as vertically?All belt drives which have a solid foundati... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Peterayer, yes, I have read the technical description - as far as available - about the WK NVS. It will certainly get some following in the audiophile community. Especially so as it is one of the very few new "serious" direct drive turntables... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Peterayer, neither in concept nor in technical execution have we seen any progress in turntable design in the last 3 decades.Microprocessor controlling is really cheap today and that is about all that has changed.The top-notch turntables of 1... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Halcro, without me intentionally getting the way of Nikola here, let me just say that in technical ways german and japanese minds used to be very similar. Both did share for a long period a very similar devotion to form-follows-function mated... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, there is indeed a very good reason why so many designers do use those small (inexpensive) motors.They do fit oh so well into the production budget.Cheers,D. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, you are right .... that's what I am saying.And - no matter what I will say, I won't convince and I do not want so either.The three principles of drive we encounter in analog phono playback are all three with merits and flaws.None is pe... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, what is missed - almost entirely - in the whole discussion about turntable drive mechanism, is the one paramount conditio qua non that the movement of the record shall be absolute. This does - a priori - eliminate ANY drive, which fea... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Dear Timeltel, unfortunately Sun-Tzu ( or Sun-Zi ) died about 1 century before - so he couldn't watch Hannibal's tactics on august 2nd, 216 b.c., which turned the fury of the attack against the attacker ..... but he is certainly in accordance with... |
