| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? Both lines of speakers (at least the better Vandersteens) use pistonic drivers and offer what I regard as exceptionally balanced and spacious sound with great timbral accuracy. The Vivids are exceptionally dynamic, the comparable Vandersteens a b... | |
| Vandersteen Forum If anyone is to blame, it is I. (-As Jane Hathaway would have said).š Nice one Jethro. Season 6 episode 20 was with the Vanderponts? | |
| Warbling on horns, piano and vocals Maybe you need a safe cracker with sand papered fingertips? š I was thinking was it was AM on the cart causing the amplitude to beat up and down. If it is the deck itself, then the thing speeding up and slowing down would cause a frequency modula... | |
| Warbling on horns, piano and vocals No, both arms- just in a different way. ahhā¦ That makes much more sense now. Ā Do you have say a CD player? If that is playing, and you lay the hands upon the hearth or shelf, can you feel it jumping to the beat? | |
| DIY TT Ā @holmz , The new Sota bearing is just like the Clearadio. It has a magnetic thrust mechanism. The female section of the bearing is an integral part of the platter so what you are talking about is a new platter assembly which is heavier than wh... | |
| Warbling on horns, piano and vocals I'm thinking it could be that the turntable is on a wall shelf and it's vibrating because it's sitting on something that's not massive enough. I'll test it today sitting on the hearth. Only affecting one arm and not the other? Ā To understand... | |
| Vandersteen Forum Board RulesĀ state āthe only true rule is to not be an antagonist.ā Me glancing at mirrorā¦Ā š Ā @nrenterĀ āāāā@rpelusoĀ letās not jump the gun here. we all share the hobby and love. And I would not be surprised if Ralph gets unbanned. It is not ... | |
| Warbling on horns, piano and vocals I would think that if you could record a test record track, like the 1kHz or 3kHz ones, that might help. Usually with an ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter.) or with the ADC built into a sound card or microphone input on a PC. I suppose if it goo... | |
| DIY TT Holmz, just buy the SOTA Eclipse package complete. Does it occur to you that the question ā where do I buy a DIY platter and bearing?ā Is internally an oxymoron, since DIY implies you want to make those items yourself. I got the motor package... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience Thanks for sharing those details. Ā I donāt know the details of how a FET works, but Iām sure it has its deficiencies, as does the SUT. A FET works more like a valve/tube. If you like transimpedance (current based) amps, they are more than lik... | |
| DIY TT @pindacĀ @vinylzoneĀ et. al., I got the arm board drilled, and the sub chassis springs in. Will work on the motor and controller, and wiring next. I found that the bearing is shot in the SOTA. But it make not obvious noise, so Iāll get the arm se... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience I think this video from Veritasium does a rather informative job of explaining how current actually travels: I believe it is the field that āflowsā around the conductor. Ā no it doesnāt travel in the wires but in the surrounding electromagne... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience 20k? | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience Well done @pindacĀ A trebuchet both looks, and acts, a lot like a tone arm. (Or at least a tone that is not a great match to a cart.) | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience @drbondĀ Ā Basically a voltage amplifier will deliver voltage gain with whatever current is required to do the job. Hence in a power amp, sometimes there is not enough current to maintain the voltage at the speaker If there is not much v... |
