Turntable speed accuracy
OK guys, now what about those overpriced dinosaurs full of glamour & macho BS ?As you see their imposing sight can bring many faulse hopes and great expectations. For me this particular is a cheater but for some others may be the end and all o...

Thank you Chris. Of course a big yes by me, but I'll have to mention the name behind of this inspiration is mr. Chris Skaloumbakas president of our audiophile club.

Dear Nicola, this is the very first product by Rolf Gemein long before the appearing of Symphonic Line amplifiers. I know that Brinkmann was one of his employees. The RG6 was reviewed by TAS back at 1991 and praised as the best TT in the world. Af... 
Turntable speed accuracy
Dear all, I'm sorry I've stop watching the forum for a few days and so, I've admit I've felt somewhat pitty for no one of you could not indentify all of my bitter posts regarding the TT which been pictured by Hiho at 11-14-11.It is my (28000 EURO)... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Halcro, I really appreciate your exploring mood and I admire your efforts but sometimes we must keep a second thought for what we've done even if the resulting effect is to our liking, we have to put in doubt those cheaters that may cover up ... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Halcro, are you imply that your system set-up is neutral to the bone? and therefore it is impossible to hide inaccuracies which can drives you to mask because you can not understand their origin? ie : arm wiring, IC, speaker and power cables ... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Halcro, whether Thuchan is correct it is debetable as I've gave you my reservations in my previous post and your idea for a nice heavy record clamp can trigger more than just a field for a second and even more heavy objection. It is one thing... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Thuchan, yes you have right and I absolutely agree but ... the point of my reluctance about using anything soft, realised by my worries of a possible removal of the LP by elasticity when the stylus drag makes it's demands, but also because th...

SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Lewm, all the geometry info is contained into the above Vinyl Asylum thread that I've copied back in my previous post.Perhaps you've missed this so, please take a good look this time. It contains both alignments. First the SAEC recommendation... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Have you verified the pivot to spindle distance in your second armboard? Is it in agreement with the SAEC's unique recommendation? If so, then you don't have much of a choice. I remember on most set-ups that I've seen (in photos) that the majority... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Lewm, the ULS3X permits back & forth movement but not even the slightest twist of the cartridge. I would never imagine Raul to accept this kind of distortion as the above graph demonstrates so, I don't thing that he prefers this ceramic h... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Lewm, mind that if you ever go for any variation of 308, you cannot use the ULS3X ceramic headshell on it. You have to purchase another slotted headshell, in order to make the Baerwald alignment. You must turn the cartridge another 11 degrees... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Lewm, the V-Blocks inside the SX model are made of ruby just like in WE506 & WE8000ST and the whole bearing is encapsuled for protection. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm, the Colibri that I mention is my XPP (nylon-plastic body, platinum coils). Only 60 pcs have made. The output was strictly 0.22mV for all of them. The only one that betters this, was the first production "The Kolibrie" with copper coils,...
