| Rebuiding midrangers on Thiels I had my 3.5 mid drivers rebuilt by Thiel around six years ago. I think I still have the invoice. I can tell you for a fact that it did not cost $300 per driver. That would make the rebuild cost more than what the speakers are worth. I want to say... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro, I can't think of a reason for a bearing to provide drag in a turntable- that seems like a Bad Idea to me. Are you sure the bearing is OK?What style bearing is in the Raven? I remember reading about it some time ago... something about it be... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover,Just to clarify-The conclusions were that the unwanted energy transmitted went straight through the air bearing and out the other end relatively unimpeded.Do you mean that the energy went from the spindle, through the air gap, into the manif... | |
| 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... | |

| 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. | |
