A Copernican View of the Turntable System
T_bone,I have been trying my stand alone armbase for the past three days and it has not moved, despite my having been deliberately more robust in handling than I would normally. Unlike Halcro, my armbase (as can be seen on my System page) is only ...

Raul,Thanks for the tip, again.

Halcro,Glad to be aboard. I'm now trying the stand alone armboard. Well, actually I've just removed the armboard and fixing column from my Acoustic Signature Mambo and ficed that in place. Looking forward to trying that out.Cheers

Hi Lewm,Raul and Jose sorted my set up with the crossover filter for the Talons built into the Levinson amp (Raul could give you more information on this) and the subs using their own filters. They all run from the pre outputs on the Essential 316...

Lewm,Yes, the largest set are the AT616 footers. The others work well also, I think.Worth a try if you see any going (Yahoo Japan often has variations).

Halcro,Sorry, I was responding to your relevant posting on your Systems page and now see that you are already trying this and that we agree. I suppose the removal of any potential vibration and the minimalist approach to analogue might seem obviou...

Halcro,I just came across this thread and thought I'd chip in my penny's worth. I've recently been testing my Technics SP10 Mk2 with and without plinth. I would definitely say that "without" plinth is the way to go. The music almost seems to be re... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
T_bone,Your system (isolation included) and the music you must be getting through it sounds fantastic and I am myself now a convert to pneumatic suspension - at least under TT's which is where I have tried it. The funny thing is that popular reaso... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
T_bone,On the perceptions of pitch, it is too hard to say. I know that A,J,M, Houtsma's 'Pitch and Timbre: Definition, Meaning and Use' paper sets out the grounds for the following conclusions:"The main conclusions from the material presented in t... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
T-bone,I tried the Technics with and without a plinth and with various makes of armboard. I also tried the footers on my Acoustic Signature Mambo (here I used another, smaller set of AT pneumatic footers). However, I did not try the footers on the... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi All,Just a quick aside but I've been playing around with my Technics SP10 Mk2 and its isolation. I placed a 20mm solid ash armboard on the right side and sat the deck on the Audio Technica Precision footers. Nothing else, apart from removing th...

Thucan,I fully appreciate your position: crazy as it might seem to most! What's your favourite MC and have you ever heard the Technics EPC 100c Mk4 MM?Cheers 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thuchan,Impressive system. Outside of friends who are dealers, I have never seen a wider array of noted equipment.Well done 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Lewm/DU,It seems to me that Lewm has already demonstrated the impact of system deficiencies when it comes to judging cartridges (or possibly any component) and that is something we can all be grateful for.Merry Xmas and a prosperous New Year to al... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Frogman,Just to say that I find the ATML170 OCC simply accurate. It might be the loading issue that you note but I'd definitely say it's worth your playing around with until you find its optimum setting. All the colours of the rainbow and emoti...
