| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The "JR" has some advantages over the more expensive std Rollerblocks :They have 1.86" disc plates on both! levels that are both! threaded at the outer side and are also both! curved inward. So, we can permanently fix them in the desired place at ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Here in Greece it is common place the Rollerblock JR under really heavy mass loaded free standing arm pillars when we are using parrallel tracking arms. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris, I present to you my reservations about the possibility of ringing. The 7mm Brass is a lengthy piece and the porpotions are not quite ideal for doing this "air" mounting. Furthermore I believe that the 3 tiny bolts are not so absolute i... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, I can't see even one point in our texts that indicates any dispute. The armpod is by nature isolated once it is free standing & not attached to the TT chassis. Other than this isolation, not me, neither you we were willing to reco... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The SME type base of my Pluto 9A tonearm is covered with a very fine velvet textile, but has greater mass & height for it's small dimentions, is made of titanium that is bonded to a brass lower level & furthermore has 4 bolts that compress... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris, IF... (and this is very important)... you keep the 2 big bolts also, to maintain the contact firm, then... the spike couplers under the 7mm Brass armboard are using the same logic of Orsonic headshells & Midas Touch indermediate he... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris, It will change for sure, but you need an intermediate level of different material in order to break up the resonances. If I was in your position, I would start with a 7mm Brass top plate for armboard, and Steel for the discs under the ... | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Chris, I think the decoupling offered by the wood plate is a very drastic solution, applied in desperate situations. My concern is about the strength & tightness of the surface that couples the arm pillar with the arm pod.I'm sure it works ... | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nicola, The British TT manufactures says "there is no such thing like mass damping". But the high mass of Brass is indeed very good for this purpose (arm pod) because of it's stability. The "damping" properties of Brass realised by Goldmund o... | |
| Has anybody heard the ProAc D40R???? I owned the D38 but every Proac except Response 4 & D100 uses a cheap tweeter that leaves something to be desired. The D38R fixes that in a very sophisticated way. The Response 5 that I've also had, has the same problem, although was even bett... | |
| Has anybody heard the ProAc D40R???? Yes. It is great. The nature of ribbon is totally invisible.The bass is excellent, the mids are open & resolved.A truly pleasant experience. Both accurate & delightful in a very special mixture. An extremely integrated speaker.I suggest yo... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I think we all want to learn from your findings about noise.But the rest of us who were using tubes (& LOMC) we are in a deeper hole. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0517,Of course it sounds great, the best we've heard till now, e.t.c. But still, it is just a way of giving a fight with what we have, and the results are quick and the success is great... And we are in danger to follow the wrong direction ... |
