| 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 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? | |
| 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. |
