| 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? | |
| Review of Quadratic MC-1 SUT With Comparisons to Other SUTs I have re-read the MC-1 comparisons three times. Highly informative! i have moved from a vintage preamp with built-in phono ( MFA Luminescence ) to a transimpedance phono stage ( channel D Lino C2.0 ) with the idea of avoiding all the matching / ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I'd like to relate two recent experiences/queries with the Terminator: The first has to do with cartridge compatibility.I had been using an Audio Tekne MC-6310 for the past year. It is not a well known cartridge, but sells in the $5000 range. The... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av The assumption that switching out the stock motor ( with presumably a more expensive motor ) would amount to an 'upgrade' may need some comment. I begun this thread 1 1/2 year ago with the same assumption. I had speed stability issues.... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine While reading a review of VPI Titan on Mono & Stereo magazine, The writer, Richard Mak, mentioned the Verdier La Platine. He owns the Verdier with a modified suspension. He apparently used replacement springs that are 1.6 times stronger than e... |
