| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 Make it seven... I'm in. | |
| Oswald Mill Audo Saskia Idler Turntable Innards? I don't think anybody is going to reverse engineer your TT from pictures. If it's as nice as you say, it will help sales. I would never considering buying something sight unseen (even if I did hear it). It seems very strange to hide what's under t... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Mark,I think that Audiogon member Vetterone makes a platter for the 301 (and plinths as well). Hopefully he will chime in here. | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Calipers are no match for computers and CNC equipment. That's wishful thinking.Calipers are used for measuring things during and after machining (and still used today). CNC machines do the machining. Why are you comparing the two? They couldn't po... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables 04rdking,That was not directed at you... I understand what you're saying.I just acquired a Garrard 301 and have been reading everything I can about them as I look into its mechanics. People repeatedly put these things up on a pedestal and tout the... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables I think it's funny how some people think that the engineers of (for instance) Garrard 301s, 401s, and Lencos were greater at engineering turntables than anyone, and that the quality of those machines can't be touched. If those engineers knew so da... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables It's really a question of whether the highest forms of modern technology are being applied to tt development at all. Perhaps the Monaco Grand Prix tt is an example that would tend to answer the question in the affirmative, but there are not too ma... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Audiofeil,What's your 69? | |
| I'm taking a poll... How do we measure 2 degrees on something like a stylus? A profile projector. I have one at work, costs 40k, does anybody else own one?Atlasiris,You can look at the stylus (under magnification) from the side as it sits on a first surface mirror and... | |
| Belt stretch Because we track our cartridges at anywhere from 1 gram to 3 grams or so, we tend to think that the braking action of the stylus in the groove is minimal and that a belt-drive is then able to overcome this negative force with ease. This is the fir... | |
| Belt stretch The technology necessary to measure the effects of stylus drag and belt stretch exists today, but the people that have access to such equipment don't give a damn about it. They're probably too busy smashing atoms together and sending things to spa... | |
| Looking for ACCURATE SPEED turntable/tonearm combo When the stylus hits a big transient the belt stretches and the platter slows for some brief instant. Once the transient peak has passed the belt rebounds toward its original (shorter) length, speeding the platter back up again.I'm just wondering ... | |
| analog vs. digital better ? or just different I say just mention the brand names. I guarantee that none of them will care (or even see this post). That way we might be able to learn a little something about your post which is, in my opinion, what this forum is all about. | |
| VPI Rim Drive vs. belt drive sound files Cool post. Would you mind detailing the entire playback and transfer chain (cartridge, cables, phonostage, etc.)? Also, was any editing (pop and click removal, EQ, etc.) done to these tracks?I'm with Emailists... I'd be all over 24/96 files if you... | |
| Square room with vaulted ceilings Mapman,Thanks for the response. This room is in a house that I'm looking at, so unfortunately I can not give it a try! I'm glad that you're getting good results in your square room, though. That's promising.Any other thoughts? |
