| Nude Turntable Project Thuchan,Don't get me wrong.......The Raven AC-2 is an excellent turntable providing very stable speed control and superb analogue performance when set up correctly.It has audibly kept level with the TT-101 until this last 'nudie' change I have mad... | |
| Nude Turntable Project To be fair to Dertonarm Lew.....he was referring to belt-drive turntables with his 35 lbs platter comment.His logic.....and that of many other belt-drive designers.....is that greater mass creates sufficient inertia in the revolving platter to ove... | |
| Nude Turntable Project You're right Thuchan,There appears to be 10 times more Cu-180 platter mats available for sale.....even NOS ones.....than Micro ever made in their day?Similar story with the Orsonic headshells....:-)Aren't the Chinese great? | |
| Nude Turntable Project Lawrence,It was magnetism......not RFI/EMI that surprised me on the Cu-180 turntable mat?The Micro Cu-180 is indeed non-magnetic.My ignorance levels on electro-magnetism run deep.......but I'm guessing that there are materials which can act as 'co... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Does a tt need a massive heavy platter to reproduce extreme low bass?This seems to be an interim conclusion by respected reviewers like Michael Fremer and Jonathan Valin but they obviously havent heard the TT-101?The Victor can go deeper than th... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Well I read the interesting article on RFI/EMI linked by Banquo. Whilst it deals specifically with the Kenwood L-07D turntable .I dont doubt that its observations would also apply to most unshielded DD turntables?Whilst the writer begins criticis... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dover,Thanks for the info. I tried Googling but there is sparse detail available.That Final motor looks serious........ | |
| Nude Turntable Project Your TT may have to be confiscated siting indecent enclosureHeh heh....OK you twisted my arm....An even more indecent shot......and another | |
| Nude Turntable Project And here is the equally famous Takai Lab Final VTT-1 belt-drive turntable similar to Dover's.....although he has the Parthenon model I seem to recall which is quite different to this one?I particularly love the 'Copernican' ideal of the separation... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Now here's a Belt-Drive from the famous Melco brand.The legendary Melco was a High-End Japanese turntable manufacturer equal to Micro Seiki with cost-no-object products in the 1970s.This model I particularly like because of the strong skeletal ste... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Lewm,Why re-open the argument?Errr.....because that is the subject of this Thread? :-)Incidentally......have you managed to listen to your TT-101 yet? | |
| Damping the analogue "setup" There is one problem with the use of sand boxes.Their perceived benefit is not the sand itself .but the voids between the sand.In other words ..full sound transmission through the sand is hampered by the air between the individual sand pelle... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dover,I have a stethoscope and have done all the listening you suggest...and more, and hear nothing "revelatory" in regard to 'noise' within my turntable structures.However this is by no means a scientific or 'white paper approved' form of documen... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I am delighted to hear Banquo confirm my listening impressions.I am well aware of the audiophiles need to hear improvements with any change. Especially a change invested with a personal attachment? :-) One other difference to note is that eve... | |
| Damping the analogue "setup" Seriously, a bowling ball on top of my washer or dryer provides a similar benefit. Now there's an idea.....Perhaps a cricket ball on top of the turntable will solve all structure-borne feedback problems? |
