| Nude Turntable Project You may be right Ecir?But I think the sound changes are more complex than the simple support?And the fact that the speed read-out hits 33.33 rpm straight off every time instead of hitting 33.32 rpm for 3 seconds before moving up to 33.33 rpm.....i... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi Chris, You will also hear more difference if you put a shelf just big enough to hold the TT and armpods on your existing shelf and decouple it further.Differences can be dangerous?There are many things in this strange hobby of ours which can ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Chris,Pneumatic or 'compliant' footers are designed solely to try to prevent the passage of Structure-Borne feedback into the turntable plinth/bearing/platter/tonearm/cartridge system.Suspended turntables are an attempt to achieve the same result ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hey Banquo,With your Victor supported on Chris' 3 stainless tube spikes sitting under the top surround of the turntable.......you could quite easily remove the outer steel perforated cover and hear the difference?Trust me on this one........... | |
| Nude Turntable Project but is that an old Canadian penny shimming the left armpod ? :^)Sorry Chris.....it's an Aussie 5 cent piece :-)I agree with your dedicated shelf recommendation.Just can't do it old boy.....don't have a basement listening room (or three)....like y... | |
| Nude Turntable Project The magnetic field being produced by the transformer and power supply (even with power switch of the platter not activated).....is so great that it has managed to induce a magnetic attraction in the 316 stainless steel flat bars of the cradle.316 ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Lewm,Did you not remember my 'incident' when I had the ground cable connected to one of the Halcro amps (as it wasn't long enough to reach the preamp?After placing the Victor on the copper Fidelity Research Cu-180 platter mat to test 'isolation'..... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Nice work Ecir,You're close to being a fully-fledged member of the 'Copernican Club'?What material is that surrounding your Victor (is it a TT-71 or 81?)?.It's really neat....but how do you manage with ventilation?And those arm-pods are impressive... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks Ecir,The spikes were bought first from England and were given to the fabrication shop to custom drill and tap the legs to fit with no free play at all .They are made of the same 316 stainless steel as the cradle and come with washers and lo... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Nikola,Big spikes are necessary to counter the large deflection of my cantilevered shelf :-) | |
| VPI 3D tonearm ....this arm is DEAD.Is burial an option? :-) | |
| Nude Turntable Project I didnt think I would be writing this review .Correction ..I didnt think I would be writing this review with the following results and conclusions?In fact its hard to tear myself away from the music to devote the time to write this review ..Wh... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Thuchan, What about a silver metal surrounding with nice looking slits for the ventilation, like in a helmet (many small slits)?This is not the look that I'm after.A silver metal surround would hide the elegant stainless steel cradle which I ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Lewm,Yes....a valid point about RFI shielding?I'm lucky my Victor is far from most of my electronics.....and I hear no hum or noise of any sort.In fact it seems perhaps slightly quieter than with the 'cage'? | |
| Nude Turntable Project Oh Thuchan,I was inspired a bit by your EMT 927 aesthetics.....whereby the table sits on an exposed tubular metal frame and all the guts are visible hanging below?Do you get dust in the working parts? |
