| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Halcro. The bottom cover on the JVC is rather flimsy. I owned QL7 and QL-A7 before so I know they are not very rigid. I noticed you placed 3 footers right below that bottom cover. I know you like the nude style and no-plinth approach. Would it ... | |
| Is power cord upgrade worthwhile on Lenco L75 Mirko sells most of his stuff on eBay. His user-name is "SQ38"..... must be a Luxman fan. :) Here is his seller catalog:Lenco platter & bearingPlatter ony_______ | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Yes, Jameswei. That is the link. I was very sloppy with my links. Thanks.Here's the jpeg link explaining the Origin Life tonearm._______ | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Jameswei: "In other words, the distance between the tips of the spikes must be exactly equal to the distance between the centers of the cups. They must not be off by even a little bit. I see from the first "2point" pic that one spike tip position ... | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Dover: "Unlike a true unipivot the whole arm tube will chatter with a low compliance cartridge.."Conceptually similar to SME but I don't see how two needle points sitting on two cups with the entire mass of the arm preloading the bearings can chat... | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Jfrech: "So Mikey kept saying chatterless...seems like there can be chatter in this bearing too...maybe he means less via the 3 points in a cup. 4th on a post..."I think you got it confused. It should be 2 points for vertical and 2 points for hor... | |
| Kuzma 4Point vs Airline - is it worth the upgrade? Jameswei: "Can you share with me your understanding of how the bearing is implemented? I am intrigued and itching with curiosity!"2 points + 2 points = 4 pointsExtra point: HiFi Plus review by Roy Gregory. _______ | |

| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Many people have this misguide concept of the direct drive mechanism including some insightful writers in the audio press community. In a review of a belt drive turntable, the usually perceptive Art Dudley couldn't help to give the DD genre a shov... | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Hammy: "Let me ask you- WHY WOULD YOU WANT THEM DIRECTLY CONNECTED?"Since I am lazy, let me just quote an excerpt from another website: "A huge advantage of a direct-drive record-player is the fact, that the whole mechanical system consists of jus... | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Hammy: "Direct drive is bad for music"I disagree. _______ | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Maxson, I don't think Continuum manufactures a direct drive turntable. I only know, so far, five brands producing newly designed DD turntables in the hi-end market. There might be more but I don't know. Brinkmann: Bardo & OasisGrand Prix: Mona... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Dan_ed: "Hiho, are you beginning to see the religious nature of all of this?"Indeed. As Luis Bunuel would say, "Thank God I'm an atheist."_______ | |
| What defines a good tonearm Just because I don't have the specs for the friction measurement of a unipivot tonearm, all of a sudden I am a poster child of the subjectivist camp without even a "touch of objectivity"? Thanks for the flattery, Raul. I'm not that ambitious. In a... | |
| What defines a good tonearm I don't know why people get so worked up on this gimbal vs unipivot debate. Raul, you really take the cake. I have both kinds of tonearm and, again, I have no dog in this fight. I enjoy tonearm design and it's fun for me to think about these thin... |
