| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions The 'centring' issue is not a problem if you use a top-plate supported on 4 equally placed 'spacers' over the Minus K stand.I have checked this directly with Minus K and it's something they recommend.Just take into account the weight of the top-pl... | |

| Nude Turntable Project Hey Gary,I am most impressed with your methods for damping the 'cage' of the Victor and I did say that I would try this technique if and when....I had solved the problem of the mysterious 'feedback' I can sometimes induce?Unfortunately......in tes... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I thought you were getting the FR-6SE?I have the FR-5E and the FR-6SE so have not heard the 6E?I find with both of mine that 1.3gm-1.5gm VTF seems the best with a positive VTA.Loading of 100K Ohm should be good and a bit of added capacit... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I'm wondering what Bill Thalmann said?He is supposed to be the guru for SP10s and it would surprise me if he thought the TT-101 was 'over his head'? | |

| Nude Turntable Project it might be a good idea to have a disc cut out of plateNot a bad idea Ecir......not necessarily of the same material though?A dissimilar material such as 'wood' may be even better?I think I'll try a few experiments based on this?Thanks. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Sorry Banquo,I didn't get what you were suggesting?A Minus K stand is the obvious solution to my concerns and I am investigating that possibility?The problem with that for me however.....is that the increased load of the Minus K plus a top plate o... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Gary,I'm sure you're right about damping the 'cage' and I intend to do so if....and after....I have eliminated the 'source' of the feedback?Incidentally....I tried the 'bungee cord' treatment to no effect :-(My thoughts are....that even if I dampe... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi Gary,Very interesting improvements and co-incidentally.......I have been testing and analysing the 'weakness' with the nude Victor as well.As you have discovered.....the thin perforated metal circular surround is, I fear, the Achilles heel to s... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? there is no such thing as perfect.it is beyond the capability of a human being to create perfection.Yes ........I'm waiting for some Martian to perfect those Van Gogh paintings and Beethoven symphonies?Or perhaps God can step in and help? | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions From all reports.....a Minus K is good for all turntables. | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions 30cm is quite thick for a concrete slab.....especially a prestressed one. How do you know this fact?The load carrying capacity of any floor has little to do with with it's BEHAVIOR under dead loads, live loads and impact loads. 400 Kg/m2 is not so... | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions My apartment has solid concrete floor with tension cable runnig through them.This is called a 'prestressed' concrete floor and is designed to allow greater spans between supports, with thinner floor thicknesses.It is achieved by reducing the amoun... | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? I have a friend who lives in Bali and visits Sydney every year.After lunch....we inevitably sit down to listen to vinyl, whereupon Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma on Decca brings tears and uncontrollable sobbing from this wizened old hardnose.But o... |
