| What defines a good tonearm That is of course exactly how the bearings in the Triplanar are built.Notice the word "bearings" is in plural... This type of argument is a logical fallacy known as a red herring.All this fallacy talk is making my head hurt. What I want to say is ... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Unipivots however do not rule the roost by any means when it comes to freedom in the motion of the bearings.Besides air bearing, unipivot does have the least friction and freedom in motion. I don't care what fancy gimbal bearing you have you canno... | |
| What defines a good tonearm I meant to say "it's fun for me to think about these things and I DON'T have dog in this fight." I apologize for all the bad spellings and syntax. ______ | |
| What defines a good tonearm Mikelavigne: "the very best arms i have heard are the Durand Talea 1 and Talea 2 in my system, in other systems, and at shows. i would also add the Continuum Cobra to these 2."Not to be nitpicking but I just want to point out the Cobra is not real... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System More pix of Raul's creation: http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/rv/s/f/1280794749.jpghttp://cgim.audiogon.com/i/rv/s/f/1280794750.jpg____ | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I found a few pictures that give a glimpse of the tonearm, only the headshell area is shown, though. (Thanks Google images!) They are posted on Raul's review of the Audio Technica AT-20SS cartridge. In it he mentions "I mount it in one of my proto... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob: "I think Raul has just posted something about his arm on the MM/MC thread."Any chance you can provide a link so we can have a glimpse of this revolutionary tonearm? Thanks. ____ | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? As I said, this is the same seller who used to have a tonearm that works exactly like the Schroder arm but Frank found out and complained about the infringement to the seller. The designer then put his own twist to the Schroder design by replacing... | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? Mystery solved. The TD-01 arm does, indeed, work like how I described, ie, the string hangs the arm and the ceramic ball does not touch the bottom of the oil pool and only for stabilizing. Seller responded to question.Hi, the arm being hung by the... | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? Manitunc: "By the way, does anyone remember a system that used 3 ball bearings on the bottom in a triangle with one ball bearing in the arm sitting in the middle in a kind of unipivot arrangement that was much more stable than your usual pinpoint ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System There's really no such thing as the complete absence of a plinth. In a typical DD table, the motor is often mounted to a chassis, usually an aluminum enclosure, like the SP10 or Halcro's TT81. And to me that's a plinth already.The best experiment,... | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? the weight of the arm holds the ball into its oil dampened socket and the string is just used to keep the arm aligned from side to side so it doesnt just fall over.I thought the string hangs the arm and the ball is inside the oil well but not touc... | |
| Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter? "there has to be some motor that turns a rotor (e.g. an induction motor) that creates the time varying magnetic field that could turn a platter by lorentz force. there will be *some* vibration in that motor."The rotor is PART of the motor, propell... | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? This TD-01 tonearm seems like a hybrid between a Schroder am and a Well-Tempered arm. I like its simplicity. I would like the string to be shorter and the tie point to be at the center of the ceramic ball - the golf ball in the WTA is the same id... | |
| Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter? Paperw8: "one of the drawbacks of direct drive turntables is the possibility that vibrations from the motor would couple into the turntable and get picked up at the cartridge. since the vibrations would likely be relatively low frequency, it would... |
