| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro - I'm a bit like you - the Raven doesn't look that bad. When you study their website, the motor supposedly has some accuracy, and the belt is elastic, so presumably the steepness of the initial drop will be due to the elasticity.I have list... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richardkrebs,Just a little plug here. Customers of both MK2 and MK3 upgrades have universally noted a marked improvement in percieved speed stability.How is this possible ? For the last 5 days you have argued that the SP10mk3 is impervious to styl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - I forgot to mention the other reason I think yours is an original 17D is the detachable headshell leads. On the 13D the headshell leads are hardwired off the coils - one less connection. I've had mine for well over 20 years, and had 2 rebui... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This is from my earlier post on the Dynavector Karat Nova'sThere are 3 Karat Nova's - Karat Nova 13D, Karat Nova 17D and the reissue Karat Nova 17D. The original Karat Novas have Ebony bodies, the reissue 17D has a metal body.If the serial number ... | |

| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Have any of you thought it ironic that the speed checking disc and software you are using to evaluate stylus drag and its impact on speed stability is supplied by a company that sells rubber belt drive turntables. Creepy eh. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm RichardkrebsI seemed to have missed the olive branch. Was it before or after "end of story"and "for the last time".I have continued the discussion as you have misconstrued some of my comments and not fully addressed some of my queries. I cannot un... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - MC's generate current not voltage. Most phono stages amplify voltage ( there are some current devices ). MC transformers convert high current/low voltage from the cartridge to a low current/high voltage output. Due to the low current of ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richardkrebs :Let's assume we are tracking at 2.0g.Now let's break down the stylus drag components into 2 parts - one being stylus drag due to the tracking force ( A ) and the other being the variation in stylus drag due to the variations in the m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm/RaulI'm in the same boat as Raul. I never used to like SUT's much - too coloured and unpredictable. I have always preferred high gain full tube preamps with no loading for MC's ( 47k ) . But since I had the Dynavector Nova 13 rebuilt and boug... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm - in my posts I have tried to relate what I hear with the design etc. Some folk misread stuff. I am not anti direct drive or any drive. What I have heard in very good systems is that there are very few DD's that dont sound awful, by which I m... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice Needed Rega P9 or Oracle I had a mate with a P5 with groovetracer mods, separate power supply and Shelter 501. He tried the Rega P7 and it was no better. He bought a P9 which was a significant improvement. If you buy a P9 make sure you get the RB1000 arm as it is much bet... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richard1) The 0.0008% speed impact from stylus drag I measured on the Final is insignificant in the context of the other issues raised such as eccentric records etc - the ones you believe are spurious. The measured speed change is less than the wo... | |
| Cartridge gain overload - please explain I think somebody is confused here.Using the balanced OUTPUT of the LS25 increases the gain by 6db.I presume you plug the phono stage into the INPUT, at least I hope so.There is nothing to suggest that using the balanced INPUT on the LS25 increases... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 8 Reasons not to load a MC transformer - Loading the secondary of a transformer can induce ringing. Loading the secondary of a transformer will move the transformer out of its intended operating parameters. For example Rauls AU340 has been designe... |
