| Turntable speed accuracy Tonywinsc,For records with holes out of centre my engineer mate simply uses a thread file ( very small round file ) to open the hole up only in the direction you need to move the record to centre it. Then puts a marker on the label to indicate whi... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - great demo, no accent.I agree with Lewm on neutrality, different for different folks. We all know if we have a preamp with a dip at 3k say and we listen to it for a long enough, the ear/brain adjusts, and when you try something else that ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - you are being disingenuous. The Fat Bob has a stretchy elastic band for a belt and furthermore the drive from the belt is close to the bearing. By not driving the circumference of the platter a lot of purchase from the puny motor is being... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy When I am playing Vladimir Horowitz on my turntable should I ask him to stop on the half hour Eastern Standard Time so I dont have to listen to the speed corrections ?Seriously though when I was selling Elite Rock Townsend turntables which used an... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I haven't got perfect pitch and my friends tell me my timing aint that good, but I find piano recordings fantastic for laying bare speed and VTA issues. The words clangy and compressed come to mind when things aren't well, assuming the recording i... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-10A mod experiences? Hi there, You will find the cheapest Multicaps are far quicker and more resolving than the Solens. I would suggest you try these instead. Search on this site for Carey caps for others experiences. Good luck. | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? "The main reason CD is still around I suspect and has not been replaced has more to do with it being a very good solution than it does with our digital audio technology cannot cut it even these days."This is totally wrong. The reason for no new fo... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Halcro/Dertonam,Thanks guys, I've been interested in buying the Phantom at some stage and there are none here to look at or audition.Dover | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Halcro, Is the Phantom a true unipivot or a dual pivot. When I read Fremers review of the Phantom he says the magneglide mechanism runs on a bearing but is pulled by the arm via magnets, suggesting the magneglide is not physically connected to the... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Al, I used to argue that digital is a sampling of analogue but there are more fundamental issues. It is relatively easy to fill in the gaps using mathematical modelling.The real issue with digital is the Red Book Standard and the use of sine x/x.I... | |
| Speaker cable vibration? I have found the easiest upgrade to many speakers is simply to pull the crossover out of the box. Even without updating capacitors, this generally yields a significant improvement. I assume the sound inside the box has quite a deleterious impact o... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? I have a question _I thought the way the magneglide system worked was that it was magnetically coupled to the arm, such that as the arm moved it followed. In Fremers review he stated there was no mechanical contact between the magneglide system an... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Apologies for last post double up - my mac is playing up. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? The discussion has been great but the original thread was"I am getting a Raven one but will have a choice of the Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza for just $2000 more! Which should I go for? Well I am not sure if Raven one is a good match to this su... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Halcro, Thanks, I was a bit hasty re-reading the initial thread. In retrospect I think you are right. Does add context though, as the question becomes is the Da Vinci worth the extra $2k. I'd buy the Rhodanized Da Vinci if it were me. I would be w... |
