| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update 'Another thread discussing K’s leads to the conclusion that the diamond cantilever is the last big jump in the K line, not the stone bodies, which are fine, but relatively less important'Terry, Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the stone body with... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @terry9 Fascinating choice for the wand! Panzerholz is reputed to be a very stable wood species. Had you ever considered ebony ( environmental concerns aside )? Is the wand perforated to reduce mass? The tapped alum disc is a nice touch. Would it ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @redcars2, Don, thank you for finally posting your adventure here. I eagerly await your input on the Terminator. Over the weekend, a quick research was done on the Clearaudio TT2 arm(s), I believe, that you are using. It is a roller-bearing in a g... | |
| Puritan Audio 156 or 136 vs PIAudio UberBuss @wig A bit late to this thread, but I am in the process of making a decision on the psm156 vs Uberbuss. I wondered if you could give a bit more details on both, and the reasons for moving on from UberBuss to pas156. I have been reading threads on ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @dover Thanks for the explanation on transformer. I'll consult a local electrician. It's 110v here.@dnicol Regarding wire harness, I am using a XLR set of wires sent from Andrey. Coming out of the cartridge, it is split into four feather thin wir... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @dover Could you point me to a recommended transformer?Also, Here is an update on the wire harness / VTF front. I would spin one side of a record to allow the wire to settle. Then comes the VTF measurement with each listening session.There is usu... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update "As others reported, the extra smoothing tank and stronger pump made a very nice difference. I may do a Hiblow someday, and get the 6 gallon tank running. But for now, I wish I would have spent the extra $$$ sooner and did this right "@dnicol Ver... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @dover Thanks for your thoughts. I am beginning to appreciate one of the virtues of the ET arm regarding wire management / VTF. Having tried a few applications that involve attachment to the carrier, I am of the opinion that the wire harness shoul... | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned @unreivedogma By way of an update, the manufacturer will fix the broken amp for the following as quoted from his email:"1. Replace Transformer US$500 (Parts and labor) 2. Repair Power Supply US$195 Check on second amp N/C Bias and Balance ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @dover Thanks for your input. While noting your caveat for not having seen or use the arm in the flesh, your instinct for the wire harness to rest on the apex of 'L' shape carrier seems a good one. However, it is the travel of the wire after affix... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi Thom,".. Some of this has to do with musical values - your perceptual framework and what in a musical performance your attention is drawn to, and we’re all different in this regard. I tend to listen to a lot of rhythmically complex music with ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update The wires are threaded through one of the holes in the arm wand. They will invariably touch and assert a force on the wand. As the arm travels across the platter, the force on the wand varies, thus creating a constantly varying VTF. The differenti... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Thom, thanks for your input. The new website info on the motor is very informative. I have a question: The new generation motor is improved, it seems to me, on three fronts: better electronic circuitry, better power supply, and higher torque moto... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Peter,My apologies for this late reply. I have been looking into motor options, SOTA, Galibier, Derenville, and GT Tron. Graham Tricker wrote that his motors are no longer available, except for some aluminium motor housings. On the Galibier web-si... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Please post results once Zavfino wires are in place. I would be extremely curious!I am also having a silver tonearm wire custom made. The wire I ordered is from Aural Harmony. Twisted configuration is how it will be implemented and paired with a ... |
