| TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds? Dougdeacon, When I decided to build a Frankentable, still not assembled, it was going to be in my music room which is also inhabited by my subs. Minus K solved my problem and built a platform that would support the 750 lb table; that was 2 years a... | |
| A new TT from Steve Dobbins,"The Beat." ??? Hi T bone,I'll attempt to address your points one at a time. First off, the platter does, did ring like a bell. I threw out the flimsy rubber matt and ordered a new nickel plated copper, plastic platter from TT Weights. It came with their best per... | |
| A new TT from Steve Dobbins,"The Beat." ??? Hi Lewm, I thank you for your reply and those that, not only spoke to the original thread, but digressed. To strictly stay on the line of the original thread would mean the thread would die out with a dozen or so answers. My reason for the thread ... | |
| Tape Project Tapes Audioblazer, Replying to your first thought; maybe there will be more classical albums from The Tape Project. I don't hold out much hope. You can get great Blue Note re issues for 50 bucks each. It's not hard to record and reproduce small groups t... | |
| Reel to Reel Sam, I've only managed to listen to a half dozen or so 1/2 inch two track tapes; all at 30 ips. Recorded at Sounds Unreel studio in Memphis in the mid 80s, without dolby, the dynamics are as good as anything I've heard. Steve Horton and his band n... | |
| TTWeights new Black Onyx Idler drive Turntable Hifitime, Time will tell if this drive system will prove successful. The o rings are small and are not bonded to the drive pulley. Will they exhibit any creep as the heat up from continuous use? Would a larger drive pulley suffer from variations i... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Raul, Being able to enlist the facilities and expertise of those in the scientific community is something that happens because of luck or money, maybe both. There are a few tables that have been designed by those that have both, and more, of the a... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Oilmanmojo,, Hi to Mr Mojo. I've been stung twice on Maplenoll tables. A few years ago a friend of mine in the UK, who has saved me many dollars on a number of tone arms and other gear, found an Ariadine on Audiogon for $2,500. It was listed as do... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Hi Lewm, Howard and I are just a few minutes apart. As you may know, Howard has four L o7d tables set up and running with different cartridges that afford him the ability to match the music to the cartridge of choice. It's hard to beat a combinati... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Oilmanmojo, Before I had a lead platter cast I bought a Maplenoll table that was supposed to have a 35 lb platter. I bought it on Audiogon for $750 and thought I got a deal. When I got it the platter weighed 8 lbs. It's all still in the box; one o... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Lewm, That is one of the many questions my wife continues to ask me. Since I began the project I've gone through a few changes that have ALL pushed off the date of completion. The last was a year ago when I decided to add a 50 lb lead disc to the... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Buconerro, Your comment regarding using a base designed for electron microscopes might seem out in left field but the thought also crossed my mind. A year or so ago I looked into devices designed by Minus K. It's their business to isolate electron... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Thanks Albert, alias " Alley Cat," as I forgot about the posting . It's been three years since I began the table and it's still not done. Ken | |
| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape Atmasphere, You may be thinking too far ahead, but it's the only way to get ahead:-) Duplication of music is what TTP has done. The sonics are great but they can only continue to supply master tapes if they show a profit. They sourced available an... | |
| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape Gentlemen, It always comes down to the tape machine you're playing it back on, the electronics, speakers and the ROOM in which you're listening. One link does not make great music but a great chain does. This thread could go on a tangent and benef... |
