| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? By the way, I just read through more posts by Dertonarm and really appreciate your insight from the point of view of both design and operation. It's refreshing to read pieces that are not constantly going back to the same old pornographic sonic an... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Deronarm: "Cutting lathe/cutting head can not be compared to a linear tonearm at all. A cutting head is not tracking a groove. It is engraving it into a virgin vinyl. That's why it's active. It doesn't care for the groove margin - it literally cre... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? ________________________________I haven't gone through and read all the posts so I might have missed some similar thoughts and sounding repetitive. In theory a linear tracker simulate the tangency of the record cutter but one must remember a cutte... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 Thuchan, try using a quality direct-drive turntable, like a Technics SL-M3, to drive your Micro-Seiki via VHS tape and see what happens. You may like it. | |
| Choosing a new turntable Tomcollins said the Nottingham turntables "maintain speed very, very well because of the low torque." Why is low torque the reason for well maintained speed? I would argue the opposite! I have used the Spacedeck before and it puts me to sleep and ... | |

| Stereo Separation - Turntable That is just typical early Blue Note stereo recording as the engineer Rudy Van Gelder early on did not have a pair of speakers so he hard panned each channel so he could hear it on his mono Altec 604. I think the later recordings are less extreme ... | |
| Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet I find this quote extremely funny: "I would say that the HR-X was on the cool side of neutral whereas the "classic" was on the neutral side of neutral but incredibly musical." I guess after decades of dissemination of audiophile lexicon by The Abs... | |

| Review: Denon dp-500m Turntable After examining one up close today, I think the motor unit is very similar to the Technics SL-1200mk2 and looks more sophisticated electronically and the plinth is very well constructed and pleasing to the eyes. MDF may not the ideal material but ... | |
| JMW 9'' Signature Tonearm You probably got a replacement tonearm "arm wand" only, which is to place on top of an existing bearing assembly, for easy cartridge swapping. Gotta make sure the seller advertised the sale as a complete tonearm set up not an accessory. | |
| Turntable in 20 K$ price range - Design & Music I have lost interest in almost all typical so called high end belt-drive turntables that has platters bigger than my rice cooker. The bigger and heavier approach is bordering on the vulgar these days. Aesthetically the Simon Yorke table is eye can... | |
| Single plinth for multiple table/motors I think it easy to design a plinth or multiple plinths that allows for interchanging tonearms, that is, to make all the plinths to be able to accept the same armboard or mounting mechanism. And that is a better idea to experiment or to play with d... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I have three SP10mk2 units with five original power supplies, two are bad that needs to be repaired. I can take care of the power supplies and I do have a service manual. Since I have experience in building tube amps and judging by the schematic, ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Yep, that's how fast my faulty SP10 spins! I could have turned that into a lawn mower. Albert, thanks for the cap info. I used a functional power supply that I know for sure works to connect to the broken SP10 and still had the same problem so I d... |
