| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update In adding the 5 liter in series with the existing 1 liter, I noticed that a slight increase in pump pressure was needed to prevent the tonearm from mistracking. Any additional surge tank will probably result in further increase in pressure. I was ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update This is a follow up to my VTF set up query. There is a 0.03 g tracking force differential with the air pump turned on or off. I had assumed that the tracking force would be less with the pump on. However, it turns out to be the opposite case. Afte... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I have been following a thread on azimuth and other cartridge adjustment issues. I would like to ask how do you set Vertical Tracking Force on the Terminator? According to the manual, you set VTF before turning on the air pump. However, when the a... | |
| Review: Sempersonus TE-2 Idler-Type Turntable System (TW Raven 12/Charisma Signature One) Very interesting review. Comparison of music coming from belt drive and idler drive turntable was very informative. I actually emailed Paulo to enquire about price and possible purchase. Thank for you the inofrmation. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dracule1 It's a bit of a mystery. On a Stereo Times' review of the La Nouvelle sometime after 2014, Sorasound is listed as the US distributor. However, the La Platine does not show up on Sorasound's web-site. And I afraid I no longer have Ming's ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dracule1 I think Ming Su is still the US dealer for JC Verdier. I bought mine in 2003 from Ming through Audiogon. Ming also reps Goto Horn speakers from Japan and his contact is : info@goto-unit.com. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @junk981 1. Are you maintaining the pneumatic suspension on the plinth while using the tape drive?2. What kind of tape are you using?3. Have you tried shortening the tape drive with a closer motor to plinth distance? 4. Keeping the tape on the ve... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi Lew,'...The reason I regret selling the luminescence is purely related to my high regard for it as a classic piece of audio design. But you can’t keep everything. ...'Thanks for that clarification. I think it expresses my sentiment quite aptly.... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @junk981 What is the motor that you are using? @vuckovic and @junk981 In corresponding to Thom Mackris of Galibier Design, he advised to defeat the suspension of the La Platine in order to use the tape drive with his motor. Since you are both usin... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Regarding my pre-amp, MFA Lumi, situation, I hope it will not cause a distraction from the topic at hand. However, it is integral to the analog chain, and I could seriously use your help / opinion, so please bear with me. I have Lumi A1 or A2, wit... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @vuckovic Thank you again for the insight into the Herron and the Lamm. I have been tore away from the La Platine experiments since my MFA Luminescence crashed with a soft 'thud' three weeks ago. This happens every four to five months with my bel... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @vuckovic You are right, no point in selling the La Platine. As a total aside, I noticed that you are using a Herron VTPH-2a. As I am in the process to searching for a phono stage, I wondered if you would share some thoughts on it? | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @vuckovic Thank you for that concise summary of the AF3. It solves a year old curiosity about the sonic differences between it and La Platine. Rereading reviews of the AF3, I am struck by the contrast between the two. With the AF3, you are operati... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update The Townshend Rock 3 was my TT for ten years. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @vuckovic Some of your tweaks and preferences are quite different from mine. But as my last post indicated, this is a TT that seems to invite differences of operational preferences. Using the stock motor with a custom Delrin pulley to accomodate ... |
