| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,Thanks again. I'm going to load up the arm tower as soon as I find a local engineer able to undertake this for me.On frequency extention, I'd hasten to add that I am playing this set up at very high volumes and the quality needs to be h... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris/Halcro,Thanks for your suggestions and I will look into having a heavy arm column produced that may work better with the spiked option. The weight limitations with the Mambo column could be where the problems lie and it'll be fun (and, hopef... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Halcro,I have experimented with weights on the arm columns and with vtf variations. So far, not adequate. However, the fun continues...Atmasphere, do take my suggestion seriously. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Lewm,I don't think there was anything annoying about your opinion. Honestly! The key issue here is one of decoupling and if you review this thread you should see why the experimentation. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,PS: I still hold some interest in trying the metal sandwich platter. So if you fancy pulling your finger out about designing one (that I could import to England), do give me a shout off-line;~) SAEC just wont work, financially at present! | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,Thanks again. The funny thing is that the spikes do not offer the level of rigidity that I need. They do however offer grounding. The mix of methods that I am currently using is producing very interesting results but I still need time t... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Lewm,Yes. I'm using this as an exercise in decoupling and I've now gone back to using a combination of viscoelastic sheeting, blue tac and spikes under the arm column. Early days but so far, so good... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Halcro,I'm having difficulties with the spiked stand-alone arm column. In my system, it definitely increases the bottom end and lower midrange but I feel it does so excessively. The cost of these elevations seem to be a loss of air/acoustic layeri... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris,As Raul and Halcro suggest, three seems the magic number. They have obvious advantages in making things level and stable (as with the tripod in general) and you can easily adjust the height of each individual AT616.Hope that helps | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Banquo363,Congrats. They certainly make a difference. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System T_bone,Many thanks and I look forward to finding out. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,I think what you say about the popular plinths for the Technics seems true to my experience. I know someone who used the SAEC solid metal plinth and who still swears by it. However, shipping costs for that monster from Japan are just to... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,Thanks for sharing this. It clarifies your point well. I am still left with the issue about theory and practice though.The Acoustic Signature Mambo shares your approach with increased mass and a rigid and directly affixed arm-column. It... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Halcro,I have been playing with the detached armboard and note major differences in my analogue performance. Beyond question are improvements in staging and a more refined sound across the piece (I have been playing my TT at clearly increased gain... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Atmasphere,Just a quick question but for those of us using pneumatic footers, wouldn't that mean that the seperation of tonearm (including mount/armboard) from the nude TT represents the decoupling of both and the removal of a common plinth?Kant d... |
