| How can anyone afford this ? I was 31 when I first entered this 'madhouse' and that was 32 years ago. I was lucky to find the most amazing speakers which were custom-made and which I still have to this day.The rest of my system was modest but satisfying (Rega Planar 3, Hadcoc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,On Vinyl Engine it shows the FR-5 to have a compliance of 12x10-6 dyne whilst the FR-6 has 10x10-6 dyne (the same as the XV1s).That certainly falls into the 'low' compliance definition?I have the FR-6 SE which is the elliptical stylus (t... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Headsnappin and Timeltel, Is the TK7ea too much of a good thing?I have one coming in a week or two and will hopefully be able to report.The Professor will lead the way. Having listened to the TK10LC, I don't know if I'm a big fan of the line ... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Not much of a consensus here?Just goes to show how different we all are in our tastes and preferences......and also why there are so many different speakers on the market? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System My apologies to Dertonarm as I have just seen images of the Apolyt turntable he designed in 1990 (google it) and it is quite stunning and interestingly, has massive independent arm pods.To these eyes it would be a disappointment if it didn't sound... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob,I'm really excited about your experiment because I am familiar with the Mambo (not too different from Raul's Acoustic Signature model) and knowing the way the armboard is connected to the 'plinth', I believe you should experience a marked imp... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Daniel,BTW - there were turntable designers contributing to this thread.Yes....you are a turntable designer and Raul is a tonearm and cartridge designer.Unfortunately you must prove it with a 'pudding'?So far we know that Ralph can design amp... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I think this is an example of separates on the same plinth?GULP | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? COTM Herr Professor?Well I'm willing to nominate your Signet TK5ea.I've listened extensively to it with its own stylus and with the 155LC and I'd be lying if I said I could hear any appreciable difference?Yes, the TK3/155LC is a perfect blend of m... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Greetings Ralph, my turntable has been in development since the early 1990s.That sound exciting? I was wondering why no turntable designers were contributing to this thread?Any clues as to which 'drive' model you're pursuing? | |
| How important is the tonearm? Oh dear oh dear.The old 'tap' test again.......... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System We're baaack.....I re-assured the moderators that I really didn't take my pet snake for a regular walk..........it's just a special treat. | |
| Nude Turntable Project I bet when someone was trying to fix the earlier problem, they accidentally hit delete.I think you're right Banquo?I thought maybe they didn't like Aussies taking their snakes for a walk?Anyway, they tell me it's back? |
