| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Richardkrebs,The timeline test is showing that your TT is working correctly but do you honestly believe that its servo has some sort of preview of the upcoming modulation and reacts predictively? Of course not, it REACTS to a slow down and correct... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Then I discovered his own Apolyt table used armpods.LOL Chris...😃Audiophiles are just funny (strange) people.....Even rational university-educated audiophiles can make claims and statements without submitting one shred of corroborative evidence...... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Pryso,I imagine that the Victor TT is simply 'sitting' on the plywood plinth (as it sits on my stainless steel cradle)....but I can't envisage that the power cord exits at the base of the 'coffin'...❓There are probably holes in the rear of the pli... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Atmasphere,It appears to me (from the photo of the lathe) that the platter support is inside the supporting base which must also enclose the drive system.The cutter appears to be mounted on a 'rail track' fixed to the surface of the base which all... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Did someone say....plinth❓Or plinthierFinishedHe goes on to say....The JVC TT-101 drive unit is now installed in 40" tall, 280 lbs (!), solid birch plywood, and using the Zeta tonearm and EMT HSD-6 cartridge, This is now the best TT I have ever he... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi Parrotbee,What Halcro says then explains why people like Mike Lavigne are using very expensive microscope stands in their systems.If you talk to those who have changed to a wall-mounted shelf or active isolation stand or concrete slab-on-the-gr... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Dgarretson,The big Micro SX-5000/8000 turntables are well respected but I've never been a fan of their arm-board cantilevered mounting systems.Here is an example of a DIY project using the Micro system.The structural integrity of the armboards fix... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Thought I might just share this image of a cutter on a 'shelf'....?I think the emphasis on the mass and fixity of the cutter arm compared to the platter shares the thoughts on my Copernican view of the turntable system? | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi Chris,Glad to see you're off the DIY and enjoying the music...as Raul used to say?Here is a 'suspended' nude Victor TT-81 design using the same idea as your coupling 'plinth'.It all depends on what one 'means' by a plinth?If an added shelf sitt... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Once again, you've written nothing that comes remotely close to changing my mind about outboard arm pods. Dear Lew.....my mate...😍It is not my desire to change your mind about anything...I know better..😏I simply use my ears and listen to actual ex... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables This is/was essentially my longstanding argument with Halcro vis a vis outboard arm pods.Lewm seems a nice sort of guy but I can't bring myself to continually explain why his analogies are often theoretically inappropriate.In fact Lewm, over the y... | |
| New direct drive turntables? The Denons use an AC Servo direct drive system. All the rest are DC direct drive. The new VPI Direct is an AC servo DD and supposedly is an updated clone of the Denon DP-100. The Denons are widely considered to be the best of the vintage direct d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You rang Professor....?I've finally had a chance to listen to the JVC Z1/SAS for the last 5 days.I don't think that a stylus/cantilever assembly requires any 'break-in' so serious listening was done comparing the SAS stylus to the original JVC ber... | |

| Zany measurements and theories Yeh...I'm with Rodman on this....The man has shown over many years that he 'knows his onions'....😎🎼 |
