| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lbelchev Regarding the 'braking' action, Let me rephrase so that I understand correctly. The 'brake' is provided by the viscosity of the oil acting between the axle and the bearing. As there is no vertical force acting on the plinth from the hea... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Chris, I have a thing for speed. :) It must have been a video like the one linked by @chakster that got me hooked. I had always assumed that it was plus & minus 33.3, until I saw otherwise. Please allow my indulgence. But all kidding aside, wi... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine In the past two weeks, I have spent a lot of time refining the thread drive and doing more re-search on the La Platine. There has certainly been much discussions here and other forums on the thread drive, motor, the magnetic platter..etc It occurs... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine The one area of the La Platine that I had assumed to be the weak link was the motor. There are numerous posts of using motors from Teres, TW Acustic, Galibier...etc as replacements. I had encountered noticeable pitch drift while listening to music... | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace @lbelchev I just sent you a message. | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace @lbelchev, Thanks for the information. From the literature, it's obvious that there is a fair bit of thought that went into the motor construction. I peaked into the motor housing recently, having had the turntable for almost twenty years. While ... | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace @lewm I have revisited the SOTA website. This is a serious option. SOTA has a licensing agreement with Phoenix Engineering to use their PSU and Roadrunner since 2019. I think it was unavailable for a couple of years prior to 2019. I had been sear... | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace @lewm, Thanks for the SOTA tips. I have been been looking at options for the stock motors ever since my latest system upgrades, Eminent Technology LFT-8b and a pair of Von Gaylord Nirvana 130W tube amps. The fluctuation in speed has become audibly... | |
| verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace Hi @buyersum , I know this is an old thread, and I hope this finds you. I wondered if you could provide the circuit to the DC conversion on the PV stock motor?Thanks! | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 7 !! @riverdinaudio Would you describe the difference between a LFT 8 and 6? | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity I am a newbie to the LFT-8b's having installed them for a little over a month. Robert Greene's review was fresh on my mind when I reversed polarity on the woofers. Expecting some kind of transformation, I heard none! I did it twice, once a week in... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @slaw The condensation caused by high pressure pumps was a real concern when I was looking into a LT arm. The problem can be remedied as you have described. But where I am located, 80%-90% humidity for long stretches of time is very common. Your f... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update There is a mini-review from a long time UK user of the Terminator who recently upgraded to the latest version which appeared in a NZ forum. What is most interesting is that Vic chimed in towards the end of the thread, and seemed to indicate th... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @terry9 I love your setup ritual: abstinence from caffeine and alcohol.......wow!If not a watchmaker, then surely a zen master.Wondering @slaw if the ET 2.5 is as responsive to VTA and azimuth adjustments? I am now looking at the ET arm through a ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update A Fozgometer is a passive measuring device. When paired with an appropriate test LP and on the correct tracks, the device can take the measurements of the left and right channel output of the cartridge. With the read out, one adjust the azimuth ac... |
