| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Mosin - no worries. The silk thread I use only seems to slip fractionally on start up, but the 20kg platter can be up to speed in less than 1 rotation, depending on how I tension it, which I think is pretty good considering the pulley is only abou... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Mosin - please re-read my post.I did not say that elasticity causes the belt creep. I said it is an assumption and that if the belt doesn't stretch then there is no creep.Mark Kelly's calculation of belt creep is : Creep = T/r x A/EWhere T is torq... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well then the answer to Lewm's question is yes - shape will affect resonance.You can mathematically model a proposed shape using fourier analysis, but the traditional method of measuring resonance is the use of accelerometers to measure the resona... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm The belt creep that Mark Kelly expounds assumes the belt stretches and thins slightly, ergo if the belt doesn't stretch then there is no belt creep.Japan. Big and round. There are lots of ways to reducing or eradicating cogging, varying the ratio ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm - he didn't say elastic belt drive, he said belt drive. My silk thread "belt" does not stretch, the ac motor doesn't cog, and I dont get belt creep whatever that is. According to both the Timeline and KAB the speed on my deck is rock steady. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm - you should probably start with another thread on plinth shape.If you are embarking on a new plinth you should really start with a comprehensive project definition listing your requirements. What are you trying to achieve, what are the deliv... | |
| Sound of transformers in preamps? Yep, it's a fetish. If you want colorama maximus, loss of transparency and destruction of musical timing and loss of coherency then by all means buy more stuff with transformers in it.Transformers = hysteresis distortion, bandwidth limitations, ph... | |
| Tannoy Westminister Royal SE Pre-amp Preference? Wylmars - I own have owned Tannoy's for 20 years. I use tube preamp with solid state power amp. I would suggest you try some alternatives out - do not assume anything. The Tannoys are very revealing of amplifiers, many highly regarded amps both tu... | |
| tonearm feedback It sounds like faulty wiring in the tonearm to me. Could be broken insulation, wires/armtube occcasionally touching when moved or moving, or could be dry joint. Coating the internal wiring with nail varnish can help if the insulation has broken. A... | |
| MIT Bi-Wire Speaker Cable Question MIT themselves recommend that you tie the high's and low's together at the speaker end when using a biwired MIT cable with non biwired speaker.. | |
| Lyra vs. Lyra I think most people who post in this forum haven't heard the stuff they post about, usually they've just read it somewhere.The other fallacy is "because I own it it must be good".I'm surprised no one here has suggested that perhaps an upgraded pow... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The only homogeneous material in your list is slate. Bronze, brass, stainless steel, panzerholz & acrylic are all alloys or compounds that may be homogeneous or heterogeneous in their grain structure. If you assume for the purpose of this exer... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm You could replace your DD with a digital front end. Some of them have very low jitter now. Like DD's they are only a little bit out all of the time. | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. The Bakoon I have listened to quite frequently was the SCA7511 with Vishay attenuator. It has a grainless, reasonably transparent sound - very very smooth and easy to listen to. As stated I personally found it underpowered with the Tannoys, but it... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. CharlesdadThanks for the response. I think we would agree on most points. Virtually all the posts were recommending low power tubes. If I'm buying an amp for a new pair of speakers, I would try to hear as much as possible of all types of amplifier... |
