| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Thekong, The original statement: **if the platter has any other motion other than rotation (for example a slight up and down that might be imparted from the plinth due to room-borne vibration), if there is any difference between that and the base ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Thekong's suggestion brings up an issue we haven't addressed. What exactly is the source of this vibration, and what is its relevance?Atmasphere, you talked about a motor producing 90 - 95dB of noise in the room and described the vibrations as roo... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? I think there is a fly in this ointment:**The reason is simple: if the platter has any other motion other than rotation (for example a slight up and down that might be imparted from the plinth due to room-borne vibration), if there is any differen... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Pani,I was about to start a pod style build and now find this thread particularly frustrating with lack of any hard information. What was this pod that Atmasphere used and how is this motor noise relevant? We assume, but don't really know if the ... | |
| My Cartridge needs a new Stylus Thefile, Actually Supex was probably distributed by Sumiko. It was the predecessor to the Koetsu line.The cantilever info Nandric was referring to is buried somewhere in the MM thread, the one with 12K + posts. A tube cantilever is more rigid than... | |
| Best cartridge/stylus under $80? Hockey, Depends on what kind of sound you like and what would go with your system. Grado is known for nice vocals. The Black has big bass and mellow high end. This entry level Grado obviously lacks the detail/finesse of its more expensive brothers... | |
| My Cartridge needs a new Stylus Thefile, I agree with Nandric. The boron pipe can not be replaced with its equal, and any substitute will most likely be inferior. It might cost more money to retain the original cantilever and have it retipped rather than a rebuild which replaces... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? This seems like an anecdote - interesting but lacking specifics. What about the arm pod details? First we're told, **All we have to do is place the turntable in a room with speakers playing loudly and then measure the output of the cartridge.**Th... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Atmasphere,***This is actually easy to measure! We do it with a silent disk, cut on our lathe, which is much quieter than normal vinyl. All we have to do is place the turntable in a room with speakers playing loudly and then measure the output of ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Lewm, What is "proper connectivity" ? The physical (mounting) relationship between platter and arm must be maintained. The plinth or chassis must be heavy, rigid and not prone to transmit vibrations. Why? So vibrations or movement of the beari... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? ***Now in a turntable how it plays out is that instead of being scary or dangerous, it works out as a coloration: the platter must be as tightly coupled to the plinth via its bearing as possible, in turn the plinth must be absolutely rigid and aco... | |
| Tracking force on Audio Technica 120Eb As a general rule it's advised to start at the highest recommended VTF setting (especially with a new cart or stylus), then try reducing VTF incrementally from there. You won't be able to get a final setting until the cart is broken in or the sus... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Sorry, my last sentence should have read: With lower cu carts you're choosing between physical centering with increased torsional affects on the cantilever, or no increase in torsional affects with possible uneven wear.Moonglum,No antiskate is ... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong To describe skating force as constantly changing and therefore any setting will be imperfect, is accurate but deceptive. It is accurate that skating varies with groove velocity and offset angle, but deceptive to apply the word perfect to the phys... | |
| Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation Peeweekiwi,If you're looking for a current production model with the attributes you describe, I think you should look at Nagaoka. Regards, |
