| A Copernican View of the Turntable System In_shore,There were some previous discussions here regarding cantilevered pivoted armboards attached to the armpods as per Corby's excellent example illustrated some pages back.To me, there are three obstacles to this in relation to this thread:-1... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Yes Lew......some of the armpods are exotic indeed!I suppose when they're attached to turntables that are priced in the mega-dollar region, the manufacturers can afford to splurge?What we are looking for here......are alternatives to the 'expensiv... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Thanks for that link Brad,I saw it last week but could not remember where?You're right......very fine machining work although I'd be hesitant about doing a platter? This requires dynamic balancing to very fine tolerances.... you don't want a heavy... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Here is the link for REEDDo you know the pricing Nicola?Also.....100mm diamX100mm high is pretty small? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Err Nicola,Did you mean like this?BRONZE | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I thought it might be useful to look at some commercially sold arm-pods and the design thought between them?3 current manufacturers come to mind:-DaVinciRedpointTTWeightsDAVINCIDaVinci apparently make their armpods from wood. Different materials i... | |
| Yamaha NS 1000M Find Agree with T_bone.As long as they are working properly, they have a sound more attuned to 'live music' than the typically British and US 'sound' of the speakers ruling at the time they were introduced. You bought a bargain. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The result of the structural design for seismic loading creates a building (particularly a high-rise steel or concrete structure) which is continually 'moving' even when there are no quakes.We are not talking resonant frequency here......we are ta... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Unfortunately for you, seismic design entails making very flexible structures......especially at the joints.....those between column and beam, load-bearing wall and floor.They are designed to move significantly......virtually like a hinge.Structur... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System T_bone,Is your concrete floor 'suspended' or cast on the ground?A suspended slab can often pose problems due to dynamic movement and deflections.It's true that seismic movement is hard to protect against but most other external influences (even in... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The fact that results differ slightly with the top down suggests air-borne effects,Not necessarily. If the structure-borne feedback is resonating through the metal base of the P3 (and those 'isolating' springs can often be a happy conductor of re... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System T_bone,Re-reading your post above....... That said, if I implement pods, I will seek to couple the pod and the motor to a single rigid surface, and then isolate that rigid substructure.I believe that I have done just that by coupling (or de-coupli... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi T_bone,I realise that you, and many others are perhaps trying to rationalize what we 'arm-pod' folk report, against what your instincts and learnings tell you and all I can really say is that until one actually tries a well developed 'pod'........ | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Mounting the tonearm on a separate pod allows relative movement to occur between the tonearm pivot and the platter / spindle, and this will interfere with the accuracy of measurements.It is hard to argue with this statement and, like Lews Galle... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,The No.2 and No.3 stylus are OEM styli still available from WilliamThacker with the 2 being elliptical and the 3 being Shibata.What puzzles me is why Signet would go to the trouble of elaborate screen-printing on the top of each cartridge... |
