| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Hi Thuchan,Thanks for giving us this 'current' appraisal of your turntable preferences...😃As you are a long time connoisseur (and user) of all turntable types....it is valuable for us to hear your experiences.I must admit I'm slightly surprised th... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Nice Post Neil 😃I have tried over a dozen different platter mats from copper, carbon composite, felt, suede, leather, glass, rubber etc and have found that the MICRO SEIKI Cu180 solid copper mat sounded subjectively 'best' on my VICTOR TT-81 and T... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @bydlo I'm pleased you were able to 'trial' the LDR via my videos and find it a "revelation" 😃I have been listening to it just the last day and agree with you....I would not recommend that you adjust the VTA just to try and eliminate this sound be... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges Just tried the LDR raising and lowering it without the ‘mute’ engaged....and I get a ‘squeak’ when raising the arm but not when lowering it.And the squeak occurs regardless of any position on the vinyl....so I’m going to proffer that it seems norm... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges I always ‘mute’ the amp before raising or lowering the cartridge to avoid any chance of ‘unnecessary trauma’ to the speakers.That’s just good practice and would avoid your experiences if you did likewise 😊 | |

Is the "nasal squeal" you hear, coming through the speakers or from the tonearm/cartridge?I... | |
| Ok guys I love it when he talks about walls, doors and sound......Almost as if he wasn’t pretending that he had some knowledge of ‘acoustics’ 🤥 | |
| Ok guys dust covers that are not directly attached to the turntable improve the sound by attenuating the noise (music) in the room by about 20 dB depending on the cover, like having hearing protectors on. Wow 20dB 🤯.....here's the miracle sound-proofing m... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Here are two Videos of the same cartridge in the same arm on the same turntable with all the same cables, electronics and speakers.Because of the simple change to the Headshell employed and the corresponding position of Counterweight....the Resona... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth I understand the suggestion of experimenting with differing weights and their respective positions in order to ’alter’ the Arm/Cartridge Resonant Frequency. I do have various different Fidelity Research weights to use on all my FR-64S and FR-66S t... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Thanks again Professor.....but a lot of time has passed since I responded to Kirkus’ Post and I would like to clarify my thoughts since that time.I also really want to address the points brought up by Dover, Thom and Chris as they are important...... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth As I've repeated numerous times......I was moved to begin this Thread, not to disparage the science behind the topic......but because after 40 years in Audio, and the last 12 years testing and listening to hundreds of arm/cartridge combinations...... | |
