Turnable database with TimeLine
Thanks Peter,I share your wonderment........It's unusual...and refreshing.....to hear someone in the 'belt-drive camp', accepting the superiority of DD turntables...at least in relation to speed consistency and control?Before the visual proof of s...

VICTOR TT-81This turntable displays the same (if not better) accuracy as the TT-101.....I believe the difference in the speed accuracy and consistency WITHOUT load compared to that WITH load is of some importance....and that's why I like to see th... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
If Harry is using the TT-101 as a reference for his VPI Direct......it bodes well :-)

laser gets the mark in every rotation Not quite......Laser starts off under the H in the word FRUHBECK....and ends up under the letter K.Therefore the RX5000 is running fast....and that's in only TWO minutes?By the end of a record.....it would be ... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Yes Thuchan,It seems that Mark Doehmann as head of the design team for Continuum....introduced many revolutionary ideas into the world of vinyl playback....HEREI must admit that I wondered many times....how on earth they manufactured those Cobra a...

Hi Tonywinsc,I thought you might appreciate Peter's article if you hadn't read it before?The impressive thing from my perspective....is that he wrote that article more than 10 years ago.....where visual proof of 'stylus drag' was unavailable....an...

Peterayer,To be fair, I think the frame speed of his video camera is interfering with the laser flash increments. I think that is why some laser flashes are not even seen and why the dash appears to change in length. This occurs with my iPhone vid...

My point is that knowing about the specific motor is useful when making these Timeline comparisons because what you see isn't always what you actually get.I know this is true….and I apologise to Tonywinsc if I appeared dismissive of his valuable ...

Studying the video of Syntax's RX-5000 turntable with the Timeline.....I was trying to analyse the reasons for such a poor performance?Mainly because I had seen nothing like it with any other turntable...belt-drive or direct drive?How could the Ti...

Lew,Henry, I don't think Syntax's post about the Kuzma was so provocative.Of course it was......Syntax was apparently observing the Kuzma turntable with the Timeline in action yet he didn't use his iPhone to film this and upload to YouTube (as we ...

Well it's nice to know that my previous posting about Tonywinsc claims goes unread or misunderstood.....so I'll repeat it once more before I'm out of here.The analogy to a car's engine is totally spurious for this is DESIGNED to increase and decre...

Peterayer,As Ron Sutherland explained it to me......you are only using ONE laser flash hitting the wall every 1.8 seconds.With the first few models sold.......locating that single flash on the wall where you want it.....was quite difficult and tim...

Hi Moonglum,As the Raven motor controller has 'stepped' increments of speed control....the 'under-load' speed can only be adjusted to be +/- 0.06%....a superb specification incidentally.It is a fluke that the 'exact' speed is achieved without load...

Lew,To write somerhing useful for readers, the Kuzma "Reference" runs also with wrong Speed (too fast)....the search goes on :-)I wouldn't worry what Syntax writes......For years...he has maligned the TW Acustic Raven turntables on every audio For... 
Any reason to even buy a new PJ at this juncture??
If you're not happy with your old PJs......try a nightshirt ?
