| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Jonathan,I imagine though, that the 'processing' of the material and the 'significant effect on sound' due to that, would vary depending on 'where' in the signal-processing chain that material was applied?For instance, I can imagine a tonearm h... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Thanks for the input Jonathan.If I may ask.......how have you managed to determine this grading and for how many materials? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Er Danny,If you DO find any OEM LCa styli......I may become a better friend than Timeltel?.......after all he already has one :^)I have a TK-7e which accepts either a No.2 or No.3 Signet stylus (the No.3 converting it to a 7SU apparently..... alth... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System That's what my armpods are made of.....phosphor bronze.Sounds good to me :^) | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Daniel,I understand your point about 'fixing' the base via tape or blu-tak and that is easy to do.There is however another philosophy to the 'support' of the armpods.....and indeed the nude TT itself......and that is, to de-couple both elemen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor,I love the looks of the Pioneer PL-70L......particularly that cool ebony lush veneer.I'm sure T_bone will have some pertinent experience to pass on?Good luck.Henry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,Your description of the Clearaudio cartridges surprises me."Thin and steely" is certainly not a characteristic I would use after having the Clearaudio Insider Gold and Concerto in my system over several years.Lush and coloured would be more l... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewm & Daniel,We are all thick-skinned enough to take the occasional barb :^)I started this thread because of my surprise at the results of both the 'nude' DD turntable approach and the isolated 'armpods'.They far exceeded my expectations... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Brad,Corby's response to my concerns shows that he has an understanding of structural rigidity and its limitations.His centre cantilevered vertical 'pole' being solid rather than a walled tube, and extending well down into the bottom solid pod imb... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Of course Dertonarm is right that there are . almost constant movement in microscopic dimensions of which we are not consciously aware.How does that affect the ouboard tonearm pod in the Copernican turntable system?Firstly lets look at the ma... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Roy,Your summary of the forces and relationships makes perfect sense (at least to me).And from that, I can see that formulae may be derived to calculate and prove all that you say.....after all, it's not rocket science?.......or with the ca... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Chris,Glad to see that you have mastered the A'gon 'Link' bracketing system :^)Not very easy at first?CheersHenry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? T_bone,The very best arm I have found for very high-compliance cartridges is the Continuum Copperhead. This is out of the 10 or so vintage and modern arms I have mounted in my system.The Copperhead recommendation is academic though as it was re-wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? the slower the arm responds to the stylus/cartridge movements. I thought the arm should be 'neutral'.......allowing the stylus to perform all the movements unhindered?If the arm "responds"........ Information must be added or subtracted n'est pas? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Chris,The Dynavector DV-505 (and its later 507 version) has alway enticed me because of its distinctly architectonic appearance?I have never though, read a really thorough review of its performance vis-a-vis other tonearms?It would be good to h... |
