| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm The myth of Direct Drives and LathesDirect Drive devotees often refer to cutting lathes and make claims about the suitability of DD's for replay based on their use in record cutting lathes.I would like to point out the following :The Technics SP02... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richardkrebs The jitter artefact, as Mosin quite correctly points out, is not limited to the Technics line, he hears it in DDs in general. Actually my testing and listening has shown it to be present in any motor that uses feedback be it local fee... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Nandric - do you have a ranking for your MC's at this stage. Am very interested to hear what you think of the Magic Diamond. The Kiseki Silver Spot I know well so if you do a comparison to that then I can work it out from there. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel - I use the Naim grounding scheme, which essentially is only use 1 outlet ( to get grounds as close together as possible ), and sequence the components into the wall starting with power amp and concluding with source. This lowered the noi... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I would surmise that Mahler's Symphony No2 would sound very good on Banquo's Victor. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well I guess I'm lucky, as I bought the NCG 25 years ago. 22 years ago the NCG was PCG for me as I acquired 2 OMG's.I say to Raul keep on going, keep up the good work, so far I've saved $1000's.I hope Raul can get to my OMG before I expire so I ca... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm RichardkrebsRe Your post on the 24/1I have alluded to another problem with speed stability in DD TTs that is unrelated to stylus drag or cogging...It occurs at much higher frequencies... Taking it away however is dramatic. It also shows that we ca... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm In_shore - The centre disc method you outlined is flawed. It assumes the record is round, which often is not true. Therefore the diameters are not consistant. The groove is what is round, not the edge of the record.The file method I suggested in t... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Yeah should be a cracker of a match. Murray has definitely stepped up a cog - not so many kangaroos in the top paddock now.Is that your Porsche ? Very very nice. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro - exactly that. If the hole isn't in the centre, then drill a big one. Position the record so that the arm is not moving in and out from the centre.Definition of run-out - oxford dictionary - nounslight error in a rotating tool, machine com... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm You can fix the off centre hole by checking the run out and carefully open up the hole with a needle file to centre it. Then you simply mark with a pencil on the label which part of the elongated hole butts up to the spindle for next time.Option 2... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul/Nandric/HenryDynavector Karat Nova 13/17My advice would be to only buy one that is in good working condition, because they cannot be rebuilt. As far as retipping goes, the diamond cantilever has a very fragile yoke into which the stylus is gl... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm One of the downsides of having a turntable that uses an oscillator preamplifier and power amplifier to drive the motor means I have to run 2 MIT power cables/MIT Magnum MA interconnect/custom MIT speaker cable just to run the turntable. It was wor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, I was going off the picture you posted from Hifido - serial number R143.I assumed this was the actual one you bought, which is a 17D, and has the detachable wires - see pic.What serial number do you have ?As regards the specs they were ty... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm How about this ... very retro....very rare Fidelity Research idler....as Syntax would say the quiet rumble of the London Underground on every record can be comforting...http://www.hifido.co.jp/KW/G0301/E/450-10/C12-65456-39066-00/ |
