| Lemo phono connector Can someone tell me the exact model number for the Lemo connector for the VPI tonearm? I would like to make my own Lemo-to-RCA cables. The engraving on the connector says "FGG.0B" series but no indication of exact model. I looked up Mouser catalog... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Dbjain: "I definitely like it more than the Balance, which I found to be too "damped" and a bit boring to listen too."You are very good at describing sound. I only heard the Balance at shows but some (not all) of these heavy platter tables have a ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Downunder: "Hiho Chill mate"Fair enough. Let's get back to talking about turntables and other fun stuff. I am sure the P3 is wonderful as I have owned several Pioneer models before. And one thing I noticed is that Pioneer bearings are always excel... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Downunder: "I certainly do not hear any of the so called negatives Brinkman have brought up in my two DD tables I currently have- just the opposite, then again I am not comparing to any $100 DD's either which I agree with Brinkman on."It's all abo... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo My point is that Brinkmann intentionally taking on a different approach from the direct drive tradition. Whether they are successful in sonic terms is a different issue. You are bother by the slow start up so I simply direct you to their reasoning... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo The slow start up time of the Bardo was technically intentional by the designer to combat cogging so it's rather unfair to criticize it for what it wants to do; it's a design feature. Here is the reason explained in their, again, white paper, if p... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Lewn: "There is nothing new under the sun. The Bardo looks to be a great turntable. What does it cost?"According this site, the retail is $7,990.00 USD so each coil is about 2 grands. :) _____ | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Thank you for your explanation on the Dual EDS motor, Wjsamx. It's fascinating. I have a Dual motor like that as parts but unfortunately it has scraping noise and I don't have the complete power supply. I would love to be able to make it work and ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Some history of direct drive turntables here. I agree with Jonathan. _____ | |
| Brinkmann Bardo The Bardo is, in spirit, also close to the Sony BSL(brush/slot-less) coreless motor from the classic PS-X70 era and the subplatter has optical imprint just like Sony's magnetic imprint on the platter's inner rim. The coils' position on the Bardo i... | |
| Spiral Groove Centroid tonearm Judging from Stereophile's brief review, the Centroid's design features apparently have been rewarded in sonic terms; two distinct positive characteristics are low noise floor and accurate deep bass. Here's what Brian Damkroger has to say in the r... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Dbjain: "My initial impressions are that it grabs your attention and does not let you wander off in thoughts as you listen to music."Excellent description as that's my impression with many direct-drive turntables regardless of brand. It has an int... | |
| Spiral Groove Centroid tonearm Thank you so much for the write up, Mr. Trayle. No apologies needed. That's the kind of info I was looking for and it couldn't be better. You managed to talk about all the design features without lapsing into even one sentence of pornographic soni... | |
| Why three motors? About the TW website, what I meant is that I didn't see the listing or any prompt button for the AC3. As seen in the picture, obviously they still offer the three motor option. Once again, I apologize for the confusion and my carelessness. Yes, TW... |
