| Upgrade to a vintage TT? It uses a wimpy motor. It is not my preferred way to spin a platter. I firmly believe the motor should control the platter, not the other way around. It's getting absurd to see all these belt-drive turntables' platters getting thicker and thicker ... | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? Either get a Technics SL-1200mk2 or a JVC QL-7, mount a nice cartridge like the Audio Technica AT150 and you are in business. And spend the rest of your budget on good records. If you are into DIY, then find ways to mount different and better tone... | |
| Servo Controlled Arm Eldartford, I was mainly referring and complaining about the Pioneer PL-L1000 servo arm that it uses a linear motor and it moves laterally BOTH directions, ie, left AND right. Almost like a air-bearing arm, hence the tendency to jerky motion on ec... | |
| Servo Controlled Arm This time is about servo quasi-tangent arm. I think getting rid of anti-skating force on a linear tracking servo arm is at least ONE advantage over the conventional 9" pivot arm. It's not geometrically perfect but the tracking error is still small... | |
| Servo Controlled Arm Kirkus, thank you for your insightful comment. Very informative on the shortcomings of these servo arms regarding the cartridge mass interacting with the arm mechanism. You are also correct on the linear tracking servo arms like the Rabco and Gold... | |
| Servo Controlled Arm Guys, you are barking at the wrong tree here. The JVC QL-Y3F turntable is NOT a tangential linear tracking arm. It is a pivot arm with what is called an ED(electro-dynamic)Servo arm to control damping and behavior of arm movement in using electron... | |
| Ortofon SPU's outdated design? Dazzdax said "Some of them are stuck in the 1930's with their Goto compression drivers and big horn systems."What's wrong with compression drivers and big horn systems? Many modern systems use compression drivers and horns too, including the studi... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Correction: The three piece monster will NOT look as elegant as the tradition setup. | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I took the motor out before. It's not hard to do at all. The motor is attached to a ribbon cable that is detachable to the pcb inside the chassis. One can get a matching ribbon cable connector and extend the cable and you can make the motor indepe... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I never saw a Kaneta mod up close but only in Japanese magazines. The Kaneta approach make sense to me. I will not get into the power supply modification and I doubt that it's necessary. It might work better for SP10 Mark 1 since its power supply ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III The Kaneta plinth addresses this issue but taking the motor out of the chassis and place it in the same wood block where the tonearm is mounted. http://de.geocities.com/bc1a69/kaneta_eng.html | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Raul, you still have not explain how you mount your tonearm. Care to tell? I am all ears. |
