| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - welcome back. Australian politics has been very entertaining of late. Are you putting your hat in for Foreign Minister Ha ha.....thanks Dover.I don't think the Foreign Minister NOR Prime Minister will somehow pass the Timeline test??!Rea... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Perhaps the silence is telling us somethingIt may well be?Whilst we have heard anecdotal evidence that some belt-drive turntables......for instance the big Micro Seikis....can maintain consistent accurate speed according to the Timeline.......I ha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ahh Nikola,How I enjoy your sardonic sense of humour :^)Your posts......and philosophical torture tests....have kept me smiling in bed on my iPad.You exaggerate the costs of the Cardas Clear by a factor of two........and there are much more expens... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings Danny,The only reason I ventured into Mr T territory.........was that the electrical supply for my street was being upgraded....a process which lasted nearly 6 weeks.....and every day they were working on the cables......the sound from m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings Nandric,I may have been quiet recently.......but I have been silently lurking :-)Many changes to my system (Shindo power conditioner, Cardas Clear balanced interconnects, Cardas Clear speaker cable and Vandersteen Active bypass crossover... | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" I daresay that had the tests returned a result in favour of the old 'Strads'......there would be not a voice raised in protest? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lew,You both 'heard' it :^)I think our descriptive language pertaining to audio......is subjective and ill-defined by convention?I also have doubts that others here......really understand what people mean when they attempt to describe their impres... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Raul,It's good to get your feedback.It appears that your Acoustic Signature keeps consistent speed (without any stylus drag).......so I agree with you wholeheartedly that absolutely correct speed as in 33.3333rpm is not essential.And if you r... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dover,I kind of like the idea of not placing lateral loads on the platter bearing....and this arrangement is working so well I don't know what there is to gain with the one motor?What harm do you think there is if the two threads touch? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I decided to try another method for the thread drive.I connected a thread to the platter and one motor (green French silk).....whilst another thread altogether connecting the other motor to the platter (black French silk).2 THREADSRe-calibrated th... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy And finally, all this chat is still overlooking what I thought was the real issue: speed variation due to stylus drag. None of the above mentioned observations really tell us anything about that. Unless sensitivity to stylus drag is gross, the Ti... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy In my experience, belt drive TT's with AC moters with ample torque and low friction fair better than DC motor driven TT's all else being equal. Perhaps you should listen to a good DD turntable with a coreless DC servo-controlled motor alongside y... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hi Ralph, Belt drive turntables differ from one other in belt compliance and platter moment of inertia, so their oscillation wow patterns differ. That explains in part why belt drive turntables sound so different from one another in pace and rhyth... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Thanks Tony,A perceptive and illuminating commentary :^) | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Just watching Berdych take the first set against Rafa in a tie-breaker in the Australian Open.This looks like a possible match to be 'bottled'?Dear Geoch & Dover,Thanks for the explanations.The Raven belt does have a smooth side and a 'coarse'... |
