| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Thucan,I think Raul has just posted something about his arm on the MM/MC thread. I know that it is aesthetically pleasing but if its performance matches its beauty, we might be in for something very special. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I supose this points to the approaching decrepitude of many of us on this thread but I also use the Feickert with my reading glasses on and magnifying glass firmly in hand. It works fine with these aids!I doubt that ultra alignment variations make... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris,No doubt about it. The importance of unexpected family appreciation has only been further enhanced by the fact that it has cost me nothing to achieve these results: other than a little time in ensuring perfect set up parameters. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,I've reattached the support base to the Mambo arm tower and then placed 5.5kg weight on that. I've kept the two (of the three)exposed spikes on the column and then drilled and tapped a 6mm hole at the end of the support base: so as to h... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Raul,Just a little anecdote to suggest why "I would [strongly] encourage others to try" the nude Technics and decoupled arm tower. My wife has become desensitised of the joys of hifi due to the decades of constant component change and repeated ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul,I cannot doubt the truth of your statement. I would encourage others to try it out but also understand if they decide to go another route.Atmasphere,Examples of the viscolelastic materials used for isolation and damping can be found at:http:/... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,You're right, the spikes and resultant image stabilization was a major improvement. What I should have said was that it did not bring performance back to where I had it when only using blue tac and not using the Symposium. The combinati... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System T_bone,Excellent and do let me know how it goes if you do try it. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System T_bone,Yes, that's the way it's set up now. Really impressed. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,I just recalled your referring to the fact that: "elastomerics... are more efficient if they are loaded properly!" This might answer why the removal of the Symposium platform had such a major impact. However, I did increase the weight o... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System T_bone,I have made a few adjustments to my system. Having now further customised my arm tower to a weight of 6kg, I also used three spikes to couple it to the platform. However, and I really have no idea why this should be, the real transformation... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,I only referred to "levels of obsession" and would not wish to deny anyone the label of obsessive. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,"I am quite happy trying to maximize with my biases and preferences always in mind." I think that is absolutely understandable.Raul,I think your points about SLFL are intriguing and well put. Maybe your levels of obsession are beyond most of ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Banqu363,You are not deaf - unless deafness can be spread through ICT! The use of mixed methods (pneumatic and spikes) produces a level of accuracy that I still find startling.Sadly, I do not own a fourth AT616 and so that option is currently not ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System T_bone,I suspect the weight will be the issue and I am in the process of addressing this.About the potential effects of this: I am deliberatley aiming to de-couple tt from arm tower. That in short is my experiment and is not (from my limited under... |
