| "Undo" biwiring? Eugene81, this thread doesn't need to be complicated. Your idea is perfectly fine. If you are happy that you are not going to biwire then shifting the wires internally to one post each for postive and negative is actually the best solution.It has ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro - Breaking newsflash -This Fatbob could have the magnetic drive, where the belt drives a subplatter and it relies on magnets on the platter to "lock" to the attracting magnets on the subplatter. They say it reduces wow and flutter by a fact... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm We all know the TT in Halcro's video was the Transrotor Fatbob. I dont think it is representative of a true "high mass" or "high inertia" TT for the following reasons -Platter is only 11kg - even Brinkmann suggest minimum 15kgDrive belt is elastic... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Peterayer - that lurching almost disappears when he puts a constant load on the platter at the end which I thought was quite interesting. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My main issue with wood is not the sound, its the dimensional stability. I worry about warpage or movement over the years after spending all that time making it. What you could do is rout some squiggly lines underneath and fill them with hotglue, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel - I have a good friend who has worked through several plinths. Slate rings, panzerholz was dead and lifeless. His latest trials are going lighter, using a sheet of ceramic insulation ( rigid, easy to cut and no energy storage ) with an al... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm - As in my earlier post on 12-30-12 belt creep is inversely proportional to the elastic modulus of the belt. Creep = T/r x A/E where E = elastic modulus .... Mark Kellyif a belt is inelastic, then E = infinity, and the creep is infinitesimall... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It's not easy to bash the record, hold the strobe and camera with 2 hands.I have to borrow the timeline again - none in country - local audio shop has the only one which I borrowed last time. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hey Halcro - wanna try this on your Victor 101 ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwugFlbCOwwI've recorded the KAB speed strobe on my Final Audio Parthenon VTT1 thread drive TT while I bash the record with my knuckle.Anyone else want to have a go - I... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm OK just for fun here's something to try on a Linn/Oracle/Clearaudio...take your pickhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwugFlbCOwwI've recorded the KAB speed strobe on my Final Audio Parthenon VTT1 thread drive TT while I bash the record with my knuck... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - I agree with you, but would also add that you dont need the Timeline to tell you the speed is out on the Transrotor. The piano sounds awful - slow, turgid. Its not a good example of a high inertia deck, I suspect inadequate power supply/m... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm RichardkrebsCan you please review the video again.From 0-24 seconds you can read the 33 quite clearly, but the 33 is moving forward and back, it is not stable.From about 57 seconds on - he now has a constant load on the platter. 33 is unreadable, ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Video of Technics SL1200 - looks to be running too fast. The "33" keeps lurching forward and then slowing, repeatedly. It is non linear, like it's hunting or slewing around. Watch closely. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Yes I agree, thats pretty much what I proposed for testing to quantify the variation between that minimum and maximum drag levels and the impact of a piece of music in total...I think you misread my syntax ( no pun intended ). ("how consistant" , ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Mosin - Absolutely right, I used mass loosely. I read somewhere the EMT idler has a platter of 5.5kg ( same weight as the copper mat on my deck ) but due to its weight distribution ( 16 & 1/2" platter ) is the equivalent of a 50kg solid platte... |
