Cardas Speaker placement..
I'm also going through speaker placement right now. My room is 13.5'x18.5'. Set up on the short wall, this will put my speakers 6' apart and 3.7' from the side walls. Thiels require you to be at least 8' from them for the driver to integrate, so I... 
Timeline Calculator
Mosin,I just sent you the calculator. 
Timeline Calculator
I guess the site upgrades have temporarily disabled the ability to email other members. If you want the calculator, please do as Ecir38 did.Ecir38,I have never seen your system pics before. Is that a slate plinth you have your Garrard 301 mounted ...

Turntable speed accuracy
We often mention the great engineers of the sophisticated turntables of the 70s and 80s. What they were thinking, why they did this, why they did that. Does anyone actually know one of these guys? Where are they today? You would think that at leas... 
Timeline Calculator
Halcro,Just measure from the spindle to where the mark hits the wall and the calculator should get you very close. I don't believe that the beam needs to be exactly perpendicular to the wall for this to work well enough. However, the accuracy of t...

I forgot to mention that if anyone wants the calculator, send me an email through Audiogon and I'll attach the file to my response. 
SME speed adjustment
Sksos1 and anyone else who wants the calculator,Please send me an email through Audiogon and I'll attach the calculator to my response. 
SME speed adjustment
Perfect timing. I actually just made a calculator in Excel for the Sutherland Timeline. You enter the distance to the wall and the laser deviation per revolution and it gives you the circumference of the virtual circle that the laser travels, the ... 
SME speed adjustment
This would relate to a shift in the Timeline mark on the wall of up to 1/2" every revolution of the platter.To make that statement, you also need to state the distance between the Timeline and the wall, don't you? At what distance from the wall do... 
Turntable speed accuracy
I would love to know the results of using a Timeline on a massive platter, belt driven turntable like the Walker. Maybe it's a touch fast or a touch slow (which will show up as "cumulative error"), but I find it hard to believe that a 70 pound pla... 
Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
That last sentence should read, "Maybe he could let us know the specs that he built them to for different pressures." 
Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
Ct0517, good info. What I would like to know is how to inspect a manifold to determine what pressure it's set up for. I would guess that things like the spindle/manifold clearances and capillary size would need to be measured. Did Bruce mention ho... 
Linear tracking arms and compliance...
David,I'm trying to visualize a short armed linear tracking tonearm negotiating a warp and I can't help but see the cartridge alignment doing the exact opposite of what you're saying. You are right that the long arm keeps the cartridge closer to p... 
Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms?
The conclusion to this thread is at the link below. Thank you, Raul, for sending me the link:The pivoted arm experiment is over Mepearson chose the ET-2.
