| Linear tracking arms and compliance... Atmasphere, when I used an ET2 many years ago these issues were ameliorated byUsing as light a counterweight as possible mounted on a horizontal leaf spring. By tuning the leaf spring through loosening the clamp you could reduce the initial horizo... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dev - the Final Audio platter material is aluminium with very heavy copper mat. The thread runs on the aluminium part. I would have thought the copper is harder than aluminium and should be safe but not absolutely sure. | |
| Some tables have soul and some not I can confirm the Final Labs Parthenon was reviewed by TAS, first by Harry Pearson and then by Warwick Mickell who was a TAS writer based in Japan. I own the unit reviewed by Warwick, a personal friend. Unfortunately HP insisted on putting a high ... | |

| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro great to see you trying the thread drive. The pulley shape should be concave for thread drive so it self centres and does not ride up and down.Dev I have been using my thread drive final audio Parthenon for over 20 yrs with silk thread , su... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Away on holiday so can't do pics at moment | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Stltrains - actually I agree. I have heaps of fun with vintage gear, and it's rewarding when it all comes to together. One thing though, I wont buy second hand cartridges as a rule, my records are irreplaceable. | |

| Using Test LP - curious observations Hi all - Antiskate - "In most turntables, as a result of the angle between the line tangent to the record grooves and a line connecting the stylus tip to the tone arm pivot point, a skating force is developed that tends to force the tone arm towar... | |
| Well Tempered Signature turntable and arm Original WT came out mid/late 80's looked like Classic. I'm very rusty but from memory models wereWell Tempered ( original ) - there were some upgrades, a dished platter and clamp came out and then from memory a black platter.The Well Tempered Rec... | |
| Tannoy Prestige line: Westminister and down Watchtimes - In Europe I heard both the Stirling and Turnberry against the $35k Triangle Megallens. There is a sense of ease and coherence with Tannoys that for me they can hold their own against speakers much more expensive. You wont get trouser ... | |
| Tannoy Prestige line: Westminister and down Totally disagree with the last post. I have 3 pairs of Tannoys - 2 pairs of 15" Monitor Golds in 240 litre cabinets - about the size of the Canterbury and 10" monitors. The larger ones worked perfectly in a room 17' x 13' x 8'.The magic is in the ... | |
| Well Tempered Signature turntable and arm I owned the original Well Tempered years ago, and sold and set up quite a few over the years. The latest golfball version is a joke. It is simply an exercise of how to reduce the manufacturing costs and claim it's better. I would rather have the o... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. And for the outlay and value of the time spent buying a cache of MM's, rebuilding your amplifier and shagging around setting them up, would probably have paid for an Olympus/Connoisseur, and then you could have spent all that time listening to mus... | |
| VPi HW 19 jr upgrade Guys - for suspended turntables the bearing/arm are mounted on a subchassis. In the case of the VPI it is a "floating sub-chassis" - it has either springs or sorbathane between the subchassis and plinth. The wooden frame and base are the plinth. |
