Vandersteen 2WQ
I have a pair of sealed custom made 3 way speakers of approx 97dB efficiency.....and have blended in a pair of Vandy 2Wq subs (one behind each speaker) for the last 4 years.I found the 'blending' to work well and seamlessly (to my ears)....and far... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Ha ha Dover,I love a good challenge :-)I'll do my TT-101 if you post yours again using the Timeline for the measuring device?That KAB strobe looks kind of wobbly to me.......? 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dover,Accepting that you are right re the Transrotor motor........the fact remains that the high mass platter must still retain some high inertia?Without the motor even in play.......'stylus drag' sure must pack a punch to dent this inertia? 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nikola,As Raul says.....there has been much discussion in other Threads over the years about 'Stylus Drag'.I have seen mathematical figures provided which purport to show both....that there is no discernible effects due to 'Stylus Drag'.....a...

Hi Chris,As always....I appreciate your response.I'm happy indeed if I helped in some small way for you to enjoy your wonderful system even more?I think your 19 lb arm-pod is both heavy and stable enough?What most people will surprised to learn is...

Thanks Lawrence,I appreciate your feedback.I certainly agree with you....especially in the case of analogue.......that the great turntables, tonearms and cartridges of the Golden Age of Vinyl (60s, 70s and 80s)....more than hold their own against ...

Hi Lawrence,Perhaps you can start HEREBut there are questions and progress reports all the way through. 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Dover,As 'stylus drag' must vary with the modulation of the grooves responding to the complexity and dynamics of the musical performance.......it would not, I think, be a constant?If you merely adjust your speed-controller to hold the Timeline con...

Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Mosin,Location of mass matters, and it matters a lot.Interesting.......I must admit I had never really considered this?It makes sense? 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Dover,The only visual test for 'stylus drag' using the Timeline.....is to have the turntable operating with the steady stationary flash on the wall WITHOUT the arm lowered...and then to lower the arm and see if the flashing light moves at all.Rais... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Dev,The Raven AC does not perform as well as the TT-101 in regards to 'stylus drag' yet seems to be better than the Transrotor appears from the Timeline video?For what it's worth though......the sound of the Raven AC can be just as musically satis... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Thank you Peter,When I saw that Timeline video using the Transrotor turntable.......it was also the first time that I was able to appreciate the effects of stylus drag.It's hard to imagine anyone claiming that 'speed control' was inconsequential a... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Richard mentions the issue of 'Stylus Drag' which many think is an exaggerated myth?On Timeline's own YouTube video.......using a Transrotor belt-drive turntable with a heavy platter (and high inertia).......notice at the end, how after the speed ...
