| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover , @ mtemur, Vintage Cartridge 'fallacy' is duly noted. Thanks! | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I am coming around to the idea of using a PVC type 'filter'. Perhaps as @dgarretson indicated, the silicone tubes may be in sync with the modulated air flow, and a stiffer material may break it up. This 'filter' should probably be used in tandem w... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @terry9 Perforated hose..... Brilliant! That I'll try. Where to source a precision regulator?@jtsnead In reading many of the comments from early adopters of the Terminator comparing its recent performances with upgrades in manifold, arm ward..e... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update With all due respect to @terry9 , I feel a larger volume tank, preferably squarish with filler is still the more effective method. I only mentioned the PVC tube as it seems to be used in ET arms. If the goal is to smooth out unregulated pulsating ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @metmuron the other hand EMT TSD15N SFL may not have top price tag but I won't call it entry level. I surely did not mean to imply disrespect for the classic TSD 15. I applaud your choice of cartridge. Unfortunately, my precent current mode phono ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mtemur Wow! Kondo all the way, very impressive.I have two additional questions:1. I like very much your cartridge collection, not the least because compared to the Overture amp and GE-1 phono stage, they are decidedly 'modest'. I wondered what is... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @terry9 I have been in and out of plastic shops, rubber tire shops, aquarium shops..etc. However, my reception in those places have been less than hospitable in general, often the receiving end of funny looks when the 'audio' is mentioned. I do ha... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Regarding the use of surge tanks for high pressure / low flow type linear tracking tonearms, Eminent Technology, Air tangent..etc, surge tanks are indeed used. All linear tracking arms require regulated / smoothing air flow. I guess it's simple ph... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Hi Marc, This is similar to the tank I am using: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Litre-PLASTIC-WATER-CONTAINER-Containers/dp/B003URSXQIThis is similar to the type of nozzle used : https://www.landefeld.com/gruppe/en/threaded-nozzles-with-tapered-thread-u... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @simes Here’s the HK link https://m.review33.com/forum_msg.php?db=1&topic=61090712061532&start=6735&sort=1&num...=The thread is in Chinese, but the response with surge tank info is in English near the top of the thread.The surge t... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Thanks, Terry! Your surge tank foray was the inspiration. I read recently a Terminator owner in Hong Kong who uses a 50 liter tank with a Hi Blow 20 series pump. And he uses a smaller, 5 liter, tank in series, before connecting to the tonearm. The... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine As I had mentioned, a local audio reviewer did an extensive, photo by photo, presentation of the adjustments through AnalogMagik for VTF, azimuth..etc, as they appear on the screen of his laptop. The time consuming nature of the process was palpa... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I must apologize for my previous post regarding the size of the surge tanks used. I have a 1 gallon ( 4.4 Liter ) tank supplied with the tonearm. My recent addition was in fact a 25 liter ( not 5 liter as previously reported ) tank. The improvemen... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine The AnologMagik kit has been reported quite extensively by our local audio community. Up til now, I had the mistaken impression that cartridge alignment was its only use. Rereading a local blog, track 3 on the test record does indeed deal with TT ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update How ‘loosely’ in your experience? A couple of dozen balls for a 5 liter tank? |
