| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. Profitournesol, my post was referring to Sarcher30's comment above. He said: "Having the headshell backward would allow you to get to the cartridge screws, and you would be able to adjust alignment like a normal arm. Instead of using that funky al... | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. The Simplicity is an articulated tonearm so its geometry has to be exact to work as intended. The stylus has to be exactly below the pivot (on the left armwand bearing) on the headshell in order to be tangential tracking. Any misalignment will thr... | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. 01-12-14: Proftournesol: "Apparently the US agent 'adjusted' every arm that he received and the bearings were then malfunctioning."I wonder if this is the case in a review from a French magazine as the headshell is installed completely wrong; it's... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... I have nothing against Trans-Fi but I just personally prefer NOT to use any air-pump in audio and I'm sure I am not alone in this thinking. The Cantus and Clearaudio products provide alternatives to the air-bearing genre for people like me. I am g... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... The current series of Clearaudio linear tonearms are NOT Souther design anymore. They are copied from the Opus3 Cantus tonearm using two rollers inside a glass tube so there's no need for bearings for the vertical movement. It's a simpler design t... | |

Page 29Page 30Page 31Page 32Page 35The TTT-C turntable got a positive review but less so for the tonearm. After reading, I really wonder if the reviewer received an arm with faul... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks I understand, Lew. Some audiophiles treats the whole DD genre like alien products so there's no need to scare them even further. We need better education and awareness to dispel nonsense (and personal pet peeves) such as DD has speed hunting and h... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks Lewm: "I doubt he can do enough business selling Kenwood L07Ds or Denon DP80s to stay "alive"."Tommy Cheung is the owner of Hong Kong's audio store Top Class Audio Art and sells ton of used equipments and direct drive is their specialty. Since Hon... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks Here's an interesting post from a different forum about DD tables and one quote caught my eyes: "He suggested that anyone owning any of the better 80s-era Japanese direct drives faces this problem sooner or later, and for some of the nicest models... | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. Sarcher30: "After more investigating on the hifistatement.net website, it looks like they are using a Brinkmann LaGrange TT for their tests."Thanks for the research! It makes sense since the LaGrange allows two tonearms and the armpods are swappab... | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. Let's not dismiss the Simplicity so offhandedly. After all, Mr. Fremer gave a glowing review of Thales' top of the line AV model, which features even more complicated pivot bearings. Theoretically the AV (stands for Aluminum Version) offers the po... | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. I haven't read the review yet but while that is ONE negative review, there are MANY glowing reviews internationally. If I'm a potential buyer, I wouldn't let just one review to discourage me from checking out this unique design on my own. From the... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Fleib: "I got the impression that the Brinkman also uses a magnetic drive where the motor isn't directly connected to the platter."The Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis are both direct drive turntables. They are called by their marketing department as "ma... | |
