| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong Mea Culpa. Re-read Framer’s review of the Caliburn and it’s pretty clear on how the magnetic bearing is deployed. However, I thought the whole point of using the magnets without contact was a way to ensure no wobble. My VTA regiment wit... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong BTW what record weight are you using? | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I suppose with careful adjustment of the ball / platter interface, you could allow a fraction of the weight of the platter to bear on the bearing. This will achieve a more controlled bass response according to the reviewer of the mod kit... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong Yes, indeed! And in fact, the deck is fitted with the Callas Audio Modification Kit. Please note the spindle piece behind the platter on the left. The modification allows the adjustement of the platter weight on the spindle bearing. This... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong For the sake of flexibility, the arm pod is best separated in two pieces, a column with a mounting plate. And with your column allowing for two heights, it is even better. I am thinking about adding a second arm. With my setup, the new ar... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I am wondering if you have a preference between the Kuzma or Schroeder arm? I realize it's more an arm / cartridge issue, but is one arm a better fit for the Verdier? Do you need two different arm-pods for each arm? Any arm height, cleara... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong The Terminator is underrated. If you had used it before and liked it, then wait til you hear it with a 150 litre surge tank / buffer setup. It becomes Terminator Se+ version! I run it at 1.30 psi. Members here have operated with pressure ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I use a LT tonearm, Trans-Fi Terminator. The arm, originally designed and built in the UK, is made in Russia now. I requested an after market arm- board from the producer of the arm as he too has a Verdier. It is laminated from Finnish pl... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong Thanks for your updates. I have seen either double or single platform on Micro Seiki's. But for the double platforms, they tend to be the same non-suspension footers for both. With Verdier users, I have seen different suspension platform... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine The idea to separate motor from plinth comes from two sources: a local dealer and a fellow Verdier adopter in HK on advice from AnalogMgik’s Richard Mak. Mak is a champion of the deck ( I think he has two). He places the plinth and motor ( after m... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong Yes, getting an isolation / anti vibration platform will indeed be the next upgrade for me. You have opted to put the table and motor on the same platform. Have you tried motor and plinth on separate platforms? What pneumatic platform ar... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Last checked, The Walker Proscenium is in its 6th iteration. But I seem to recall it’s price tag always hovered close to / above $100k. So if going from a Verdier to an early Walker was a ‘lateral move’, that’s quite surprising. Would... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Thanks for the update. Dereneville motors are indeed expensive as wth the rest of its line of TTs' and tonearms. Regarding upgrades, I am looking at a air-bearing isolation platform for the Verdier rather than go the motor route. A... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Did you explore any other motor drive and/ or battery pack conversion? I would be intereted in your search, if any. | |
| Review of Quadratic MC-1 SUT With Comparisons to Other SUTs @mulveling This is a total aside, but what is your reasoning for keeping the SOTA Nova with the Clearaudio? Is there a type of music where the SOTA is called to service more? |
