| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dover,I agree wholeheartedly with you about wall hung shelves for mounting turntables.They eliminate most of the structure-borne feedback problems which can damage the performance of even the best designed turntables.I believe even Dertonarm agree... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Aigenga,My 'Brother' :-)How fortunate we both are to have these tables?Don't worry about cleaning the bearings and changing the oil.......there is no oil and the bearings need no maintenance.At least that's what the Service Manual says.You ca... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Atmasphere, yes, it can still has an aesthetic appeal and yes, you are right - the plane of the record needs to be meet by the bearing. The criteria will be meet .... pretty soon.I believe it has already been metCOBRACOPPERHEADNot only do the... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Daniel,I believe that the Minus K stands are designed to prevent any movement whatsoever?From what I can understand...they are 'tuned' to the weight of the equipment placed upon them and when loaded.......I don't believe that you can make the... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, Dear Halcro, Your opininon re 'springs' imply that thoseexpensive AT footers under DDTT make no sense?I think that even the worst turntables seem to magically produce 'music' from the grooves.......even those on springs when there is... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings Professor, The Acutex do seem to have a distressingly long break-in period,You're not just whistling Dixie here :^)The 315 is only now beginning to blossom after more than 18 hours!!And it's not a pleasant 'break-in'......it could almost... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Banquo,I actually bought those silver headshell leads from 2Juki believing them to be genuine but unfortunately three of the clips 'separated' quite easily from their soldered connections when I attempted to fit them to the cartridge pins.I return... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? The one view of the new Telos tonearm that is published, would not qualify it in my books as a 'beautiful' object?It may sound wonderful.......but that is not the point of this thread :^) | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Peterayer,I have never heard an SME table of any kind in a known/controlled environment so cannot answer your specific question.In principle, I am against any turntable which sits on 'springs' as this almost certainly invites the turntable to 'mov... | |
| Headphone amp combo ideas? With due respect to the members of this Forum, you'd be far better off at a specialty site like Head-Fi Head-FiA head amp is much like a power amp.....it needs to be matched to the headphones you are using.Because of the low power requirements gen... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? But the FR-64S 'awaked' in me this 'emotive feeling' ofadmiration. After 30 years of ownership I am still 'wondering'. There is a deep thought in this English saying: 'a thing of beauty is a joy forever'. Dear Nandric,I know what you mean.....but... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? And if one is really obsessive about connectors, what about those additional connectors at the rear of the typical removable headshell?

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Daniel,At least we agree that the perfect turntable has not yet appeared.....or at least I have not heard it?That gives some optimism for the future........your turntable? :^)Yet it depresses me to think that for 30 years the world of analogu... |
