| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Ketchup. I like your idea of using two tomearms. I think that the test disc is 10 inch diameter, havent seen one. So could it be placed on top of a LP? Use one arm to measure frequency and use the second arm to play music on the outer track of the... | |
| Are our 'test' records adequate? Another ‘fine’ track to test your system is found on George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ box set.For my money….two of these three discs contain some of his best music. The third disc (side 5 & 6)…..I simply don’t bother with :-(George par... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported I had a REL Stadium II for 10 years in my system and paid less than $4000 new, over 15 years ago.Can't see how it's still worth $1700 today?At any rate...... I now have two Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers which quite frankly make the REL sound unconvin... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dover,Final Audio High inertia TT has a resistance to stylus drag variation 4 times higher than the SP10mk3 & Kenwood L07DYet you already admitted that you have to reset the speed on your Final Audio TT to accommodate for stylus drag? So my te... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Hi Chris,I will be testing azimuth and arm resonances via this App when I get some time?Seems like a pretty good investment for under $20 incl delivery from Dr Feikert?Gotta love the audio community? :-)Regards | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Hi Tdaudio,I tested the Raven with one, two and three motors using the Timeline......and two motors gave the most stable and consistent speed using this method? | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Hi Tony,Yes....the Raven is belt-drive.I'd appreciate it if you could explain to me what you can see in the different plots.....as I must admit....I'm not sure what to be looking for? :-) | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I noted the recommendation from Tonywinsc re the Dr Feikert Analogue iPhone/iPad free App....so promptly downloaded it onto my iPad and ordered the 10" Test disc from his Website.HEREis the Frequency Plot from the Victor TT-101 Direct Drive deck a... | |
| Upgrading cartridge used or new? Like Acman......I too have bought over 30 styli and cartridges during the last 2 years and had only two of those arrive defective.Most were also 30 year old MM vintage cartridges with the average price around $250..... although one was a $900 vint... | |
| Shout out to Syntax - re: Delos Hi Shane,I've had over 40 years experience in designing and detailing buildings and I've designed many components using complex metal detailing.I've visited many metal machine shops utilising both hand-finished and CAD automated machine cut and de... | |
| Shout out to Syntax - re: Delos Not only butt ugly......but as crude and adolescent an example of machine-shop engineering one could regrettably envisage?A 'backyard' butcher with Patek Phillipe 'price' pretensions?Is there no limit to the patience, gullibility and endurance of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Professor (Timeltel),I've been up for 6 hours already....and Dover ( who parties with gusto).....may have been up even longer?RegardsHenry | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dover,Can you comment on how the Transrotor system might differ to those of Linn, Rega, VPI et al? | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Pryso,Originally Ron Sutherland made the Timeline with a 'chip' programmed to flash once per revolution.Early on.......to make for easier adjustment of the 'flash' on an adjacent wall....he changed the chip to flash 5 or 8 times per revolution.He ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards Professor,I'm following your Victor TT-71 experiments with interest.I am a committed "Pod Person"........but apart from the sonic advantages I believe are inherent therein......the ability to readily adjust the Spindle-to-Pivot and thus ac... |
