| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? Jhendrixfan,Be careful with the Kokomo bearing with the ceramic ball. There have been numerous accounts of the ceramic ball wearing a dimple into the thrust surface of the Garrard spindle. Apparently it doesn't take much time, either. You would be... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover,When you mentioned removing the heat shrink from the arm tube, which arm tube were you talking about? My aluminum tube does not have any on it, but I also have what I think is the heavy magnesium tube (it's definitely not the aluminum or car... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm,Congratulations. Is that with the stylus in the groove? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy You must be kidding me, right?Hiho,I'm not sure how to take that. If you know the names of any engineers who designed state of the art TTs in the 70s and 80s, why don't you just list them, along with the company they worked for, and where they pos... | |
| 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 se turntables? | |
| 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... | |
| Timeline Calculator 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... |
