| Help me pick a new turntable @grk @nhmanmtb I have a AS Hurricane NEO with a Kuzma 4point9 arm and a Hana Umami Red cart and absolutely love the set up! I considered the TA-2000 arm, however, I wanted something a bit better but didn't want to spend the considerable amount ... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other I doubt very much that SME have decided to change the construction of the Series V arm due to escalating metals prices. The amount of metal in the arm is infinitesmal relative to the volume of metal in the turntables! The SME V arm tube is a ca... | |
| Please Help T3F problems I wonder if Frank Kuzma was copying the Goldmund Studio when he designed the Stabi M. Remarkably similar tables. You have got to be joking. Goldmund is direct drive, Kuzma belt drive Goldmund has conventional bearing, Kuzma has inverted. Go... | |
| Micro-Seiki RX-5000 platter question You can slip some string under the platter to lift it off - use two pieces either side of the spindle. Also note that the Micro bearing tolerance is incredibly small, the bearing oil should be left alone - it is specially designed for the tight t... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @drbond Great news - forget about the analog digital debate, it will wear you down. Just enjoy your superb system. And buy more records. | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable Looks nicely made, but the motor is puny - probably why you discern bass issue. It seems strange that you waxed lyrical about the Sempersonus - suggesting it was the best thing since sliced bread, and now its not so great. I guess by next year y... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The Technics like is a Porch 911 and your heavy weigths units that several of you are in love with are like a Linconl Capri or a Bodeville or Cadillac De Ville. Wrong, the Technics is a lot more reliable than a Porsche 911 and requires far less... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? @pani Yes I plan to later this year - I'm in the process of moving. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? @pani I pretty much agree with your descriptions of the sound of the TT’s. As far as the Final goes, the original, which I have, was made using a super expensive material called superplastic zinc alloy ( SPZ ). This material was developed in Ja... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? For all you posters discussing turntable speed accuracy It is not possible to measure wow & flutter using a test record. If you use a rotary function generator to measure the turntable performance directly off the platter, the results will be... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The 927 is just hilariously ahead of all this. Way way way more resolution and dynamics. It is a proper full range, accurate, limitless sound. I don’t know which TT can better it, yet. May be a Kondo Ginga? @pani As a matter of interest the ... | |
| Please Help T3F problems Throw the T3F away and mounted an Eminent Technology ET2.5 instead. The ET will last a lifetime and is very reliable - I've heard both on a Goldmund - the ET is a big improvement over the Goldmund arm. Alternatively go to a pivoted arm - somethi... | |
| New cartridge for Eminent Technology ET2 Firstly the monster Sigma Genesis was designed by the founder of Zyx - so if you like the sound of your Monster have a look at the Zyx range as an alternative to the Hand Umami. I have owned an ET2 for over 30 years. You do not need the Magnesium... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? @holmz All the folk who recommend getting rid of the PIB are missing a trick. Interconnects are far more commonly available to audition than DIN phono cables. My recommendation is keep the PIB so that you can try different interconnects, and t... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? @mijostyn A turntable does not have timing or pace for that matter. Actually it does. Because as you said A turntable just spins at 33.33 rpm as quietly and accurately as possible. A great turntable has no sound of it's own. But they do... |
