| Turntable speed accuracy Dev, I hope I did not discourage you to pursue the Lenco. It's a great sounding turntable although I never had the time nor effort to set it up properly but I have friends who got good results from adding a little elbow grease. For an idler design... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm: " I believed that firmly and permanently anchoring the distal end of the idler arm was preferable to using the external adjustment mechanism, wherein the pivot of the idler arm rides on a rail across the motor drive shaft, as you select spee... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not 01-26-12: Learsfool: "That just might be the most absurd thing I have ever read on these forums."Agree. So to them there's no soul in classical music but the same people are able to find soul in a freakin' TURNTABLE?!! _______ | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Sarcher30: "Unfortunately bringing the motor closer to the platter also brings it closer to the cartridge as well. Which on the TT's I have had with that arrangement caused hum on most of my cartrides. There may be some TT's that sheild the motor ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dev: "I tried it on a "DD" SP10 MK2 and it was off, no way to correct like the MK3 offers speed adjustments so the owner has to send it in."I believe there are trim-pots inside the chassis that can vary the speed minimally but I just don't know wh... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Ketchup: "Hiho, I'm not sure how to take that."Sorry, Ketchup. Your post was legit but cynicism got the better of me. My initial reaction was that we audiophiles really like to flatter ourselves and why would any Japanese engineers who worked for ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dover, a laugh is all you need. _______ | |
| Verus Vs Rim Drive Ha_ha_he_man: "a typical get on board and sell what somebody has designed already to keep making money off others paid for engineering designs.":-) _______ | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Geoch: "I feel that the Hi-Fi market's turning point at '80s with the Japan giants leaving the field to some hungry animals, it is still our torment today after 3 decades and we owe it to our love for this hobby to realise and accept the influence... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Can anyone name one brand that is not Japanese, not German, and not Swiss origin that made direct-drive turntables in the 70's, 80's, and 90's before the Rockport Sirius III, which was reviewed in Stereophile in 2000? I certainly cannot think of o... | |
| Sirius and Walker Vicks7: "This is a ridiculous thread. If there is an issue it should be resolved privately between the relevant parties and not be the subject of an endless and inane thread."I agree. I would like to read comments relate to the opening post and qu... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Ketchup: "You would think that at least one of them was an audiophile today and maybe even posts on an audiophile forum, but I have never seen one of their posts."You must be kidding me, right?_______ | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm: "The engineers of the 1970s and 80s were well aware of all of these issues that we are now still obsessing over. The L07D may turn out to be my all-time fave, and it's not the highest torque in town."Good point and good write up. At one poin... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy A fast start up direct drive turntable does not necessarily have higher torque. Some DD tables boost the torque only at the first couple seconds to get the platter up to speed and then lower the torque to just enough to keep the platter running. T... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Ketchup: " That seemingly "slow" result could simply be because of the LP slipping on the platter, not the platter slowing down due to the stylus drag."That's easy to figure out. Simply stick a piece of tape with, say, a pencil mark on the edge of... |
