| RFI - Turntable Rig Are you using a MM or LOMC cartridge?I found that poorly shielded phono cable with high output MMs caused an RFI/EMI hum in my system.Try wrapping aluminium kitchen foil around the Tara Labs phono cable to see if there is an improvement?If so........ | |
| Multiple turntables Two turntables....6 arms......one phono input to Halcro DM10 preamp.I simply reach behind the preamp, pull out the connected cables and insert the new ones.Each pair of cables has colour-coded electrical tape for identification purposes and four o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don,I have both the TK-5Ea and the TK-5/155Lc and whilst the line contact stylus offers a slight improvement over the elliptical.....it is not a giant leap.It is not however, a TK-7LCa?I find it hard to believe that the generators of the 3, 5 a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Danny,You're correct in that for me...the Signet TK-7 series seems to get most things right in my system.The TK-7E with the No.2 stylus certainly impressed whilst I agree with Audiofeil that with the No.3 stylus (converting it to the TK-7SU)...... | |
| RFI from steel TV bracket? Received the Cardas Clear XLR interconnects today and installed them between the Halcro DM10 pre and the DM58 monoblocks.Absolutely no hum or buzz whatsoever.The shielding in these cables is obviously so superior to the old Hexlink 5 interconnects... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy You're right of course Decibell.The 'correction' to any stylus drag speed reduction is so instantaneous...that we cannot see it on the Timeline.What I really meant to say was........once a speed shift has occurred....without any instaneous correct... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Thanks Rugyboogie,The video was very amateurish but I think....made its point.Hollywood has not been ringing though which is puzzling?You are one of the 'brave' ones amongst us....having purchased the Timeline only to find disillusionment with the... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Thuchan,I don't use the Timeline as a record weight as I find it too light.Therefore I use it from one turntable to the other only if I want reassurance? :^)CheersHenry | |
| Turntable speed accuracy My KAB strobe works pretty well also.With it....the Raven keeps perfect speed.If you want to be happy.....use a strobe.If you want the truth.....use the Timeline :^) | |
| Turntable speed accuracy From what I can see and read about the Speednic......it seems no different to a Kab strobe?Can anyone explain to me how the Speednic competes in any way with the Timeline? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan,I'm excited to hear about your ideas for a wall-mounted shelf for one or more of your turntables.I can almost guarantee that you will be happy with the results :^)You also inspired me about trying a Minus K stand under the Raven......... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi In_shore,I am one of the few listeners who could never really understand the hype and general acclimation surrounding the Phantom II?I had it mounted on the big Raven for more than a year and found that its performance was exceeded on LOMCs by ... | |

| Turntable speed accuracy I discovered that removing one of the three motors of the Raven AC-3 (aka Raven AC-2)......the turntable was able to maintain far more accurate speed control than with the three motors.Perhaps the belt stretch or slippage is increased with the thr... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I have been asked by Thuchan to load some images of the TechDAS Airforce1 taken by J. Carr.Although this turntable appears to be diametrically opposite to the Copernican view of the turntable system......I attach these images here for interested c... |
