Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Hi Nandric,Fortunately, the extended family and available professions means a cost free (well at least as far as labour costs are concerned) project here - except the cost of patience! It's great fun and I'm becoming increasingly aware of the cons... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Hi Nandric,I'm still hoping to hear the 71 L and, as you point out, it's performance specifications are nearly those of the G5 and G7. Our distinct systems do seem to allow agreement on the quality of specific cartridges and that's also interestin...

A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Lewm,It sounds interesting and I'd be interested to hear about the outcome of your experiment. The closed loop arrangement is precisely what I'm trying to test while optimising the isolation in light of other decoupled approaches. Experientially, ... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Lewm,All too confusing an analogy for me. The SP10's peritoneum would surely be the motor case rather than the additional plinth! Designs seem to vary but operational excellence needs to be assessed in the light of the object and function under co...

Dover,Yes, and thanks for helping with my ongoing considerations, research and experimentations. Of course, Cotter's floating (aluminium/polymer laminate) baseplate and attached platter was decoupled from the main chassis. My point was that the po...

A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Sorry, Just to note that the use of pneumatic footers has its antecedence in the Mitch Cotter approach that found such acclaim decades ago. However, we're adding the potential benefits of the decoupled tonearm - in our current plinth-less and deco... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Hi Halcro,I don't understand why it wont load. However, if you google Audio Qualia you can find the relevant plinth related sections. I've also found some use in 'The Practising Scientist's Handbook', written and compiled by Alfred J. Moses (Van N... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Hi All, One of the useful sources that I have found for designing my own (experimental) floating plinth is: http://qualia.webs.com/plinthbuilding.htm.Although obviously not the last word on the subject it has some useful suggestions that might hel...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Nandric,"am wondering if Dgob actually lives in GB"For better or worse, I am still bound within these shores but have stopped looking for MI/MM gems. That's the only excuse I can offer for missing out on many of the more recent and local ones.I...
