| Stylus Drag Dear Nikola,Actually the Raven is not that bad.Using the Timeline......I found that two motors (opposed) actually kept a more constant speed than the three motors.So that's how I now use it.I think that stylus drag is a common factor for all belt-... | |
| Stylus Drag Newton's First Law of Motion:- The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force.'Friction' is an 'external force'. Why do you think a motor is required to keep a platter spinning? I personally can't imagin... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I agree with you Charles. But that is not the issue!The issue is that I, along with hundreds of thousands of other audiophiles hear differences......in my case enormous differences.....between vinyl and digital.You apparently do not.However, you a... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Everyone is entitled to listen to whatever he wishes........but I would certainly not expect a teenager who listens to MP3 as his only source to be elevated to a position as paid reviewer of high-end audio equipment?And I would equally not expect ... | |
| Stylus Drag Atmasphere is correct.You may not consciously 'hear' stylus drag as pitch change......but there are so many subtle clues embedded in the grooves which rely on perfectly stable speed control.Remember that only half the analogue signal is contained ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lew,As Fleib and I have called a truce....I won't go on with it...except to address your last point.I have never said resonance doesn't exist. It exists in all materials and I would expect to see a resonant 'hump' at the junction between a FIXE... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Fleib,I'm happy to call a truce :-)I always enjoy your posts. Informative and interesting.Kind RegardsHenry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If vibrations can be detected in a tonearm, and they certainly have, then they come from one of two directions. Either they are going down the armtube from the cartridge or the other direction being transmitted from the base of the arm.There you ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sometimes we can be captivated so profoundly with the beauty of analogue that it feels like young love?Even after 35 years?11pm on a soggy Saturday night.........and I'm playing Tom Waits-Foreign Affairs on the TT-101 with the Empire 1000ZE/X on t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So there is NO loss in the cantilever of any competent modern phono cartridge? In that case there really shouldn't be much difference in the performance of different cantilever materials should there?Performance?.......since when did that questio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A phono cartridge is a transducer. It converts energy from one form to another. In this case it converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. In order for there to be no excess mechanical energy, this conversion would have to be 100% efficient... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So you're saying that there is NO transmission??? So that the elastomer suspension does a PERFECT job of isolating the cartridge body from the vibrating cantilever??? Errr......yes. Why, do you have other information?You're not nasty Lespier. I a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Calm down gentlemen.I think you're all confusing several phenomena without addressing the issue I've raised?The tonearm is....in structural terms....a propped cantilever.It comes in different shapes and sizes and is constructed of varying material... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Yes it's funny Peter.......but there are a few reviewers out there who also don't listen/have an analogue system?What these sages are essentially saying is....."yes, I've heard the best that vinyl and analogue can do, and for me, I can't tell the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I've heard of many things Dover.....but I'm still awaiting some proof on the subject at hand?Have you heard of Santa Claus? |
