| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor Timeltel, The TK5/155LC offered impact and light-speed attack in all ranges, soundstage is immersive. There is a clarity and accuracy offered unmatched by any of the cartridges in my collection of near fourty. Soundstage and imagein... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel, Henry, you didn't think I was alluding to you?I was laughing too hard to consider it?You weren't?.......surely?But your own 'Nude Turntable Project' sounds good to me........especially with lots of dogs around? :-)CheersHenry | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Perhaps we're chasing phantoms here?Are turntables just like cartridges and speakers?Different flavours for different folk yet doing the same job in different ways?After all, who amongst us here is brave enough to name the best turntable he's ever... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System But I think possibly the attraction of no plinth is primarily that it may introduce euphonic colorations that are ablated with a really good plinth that can render the turntable "neutral".Hard to follow the logic here? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lew,If you'd get off these damn audio sites you might get something finished?:-) | |
| TW-Acustic Raven AC3 latest version vs older Hi Lew,I worked my way up from 1 motor to 3 on my AC-3 and have tried it with the 180 degrees 2 motor set-up as well.3 motors sounds best to these ears.Cheers | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Dertonearm,I, like many others here, am not quite sure what you mean by the force vector diagram?I assume that you mean a diagram of all the forces inherent in the turntable but split into parts.....plinth/platter/cartridge/tonearm/armpod/pli... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Well said Chris.Couldn't agree more.RegardsHenry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Resonance frequency is the product of tonearm effective mass, cartridge compliance and, for the purposes of this discussion, cantilever design. Aaha dear Professor.....so David is onto something here? | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System that there really is no such thing as "no plinth"Well....depends how you define 'plinth'?Of course, if even a wire cage can be called a 'plinth', then perhaps you're right?I like Raul's proposition ( we're back on track Raul :-))...the 'best' plin... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,Also, the bass response was sorely lackingThat Universe was not set up correctly or there were other anomalies in the system because I can assure you that a properly performing Universe has all the bass you will ever need? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,Very interesting point about the cantilever material affecting the composure of the stylus?I wonder whether Professor Timeltel has any thoughts on this?The compliance of the cartridge I don't think has, as when I move the FR-6SE (same compli... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thuchan,When Raul was infected who could be the next?I hope it's not I??!!CheersHenry | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Dertonarm,getting "rid" of the turntables plinth will be very similar (sonic-wise..) to "castrate" the turntable. I would have thought the same before I tried Raul's 'Nude Turntable Project'?The bass I get out of this 'plinthless' DD is even ... |
