| Turntable speed accuracy Glad to see this thread revived.I too was dissapointed when the NVS thread was pulled but here I'm more interested in how some touted belt drives(SME, Basis, Verdier, Micro Seiki etc)have fared when tested with the timeline. Perhaps the silence is... | |
| Looking for a suggestion for a good Phono Stage "I believe ARC put out an SP4-A that had the phono stage" Patrickrealtor76I'm fairly sure all SP-4 preamps came with a built in phono stage. However, not all came with a built in MC head amp.If you use a high output cartridge(like most Grados, MMs... | |
| Upgrade from VPI HW-19 Mark IV turntable Keep the Mark IV, it's one of the best turntables VPI ever made. I think you would have to spend way above your budget to get better and any of the models you mention would IMHO, be a backward step.The Mark IV warrants a much better arm. I once ha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, I did buy that Piezo. And sitting it here on my table next to my 320 they look the same. Same cantilever, same shank, same cartridge body. As I said the only difference I can see is that the Piezo cantilever is not as steeply raked as the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks RaulWill try some extra capacitance on the phono input.Do you know anything about the Piezo YM 308-II Z? On visual inspection I can't see any difference between this and the 320 flat nose. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I've been following this thread for a while and recently decided to take the plunge and try out mm's , having used mc's exclusively for tha last 30 or so years.First tried an Acutex 420 which was ok but didn't blow my mind. I recently picked up a ... | |
| Benz cartridge phase? In any case if you want to change polarity, then swap +&- for each channel ........... red+ green- (R). white+ blue- (L) | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hi Lewm. Papst made a huge variety of motors. I think the company still exists and now makes industrial fans. I haven't seen the external rotor type being implemented for dd nor do I think it would be a good idea to try. They did make a number of ... | |

| Turntable speed accuracy I meant to say that Thorens offered an external rotor papst 3 phase motor as a replacement after they stopped making the original induction motor for the TD124. The jury's out on whether or not it constitutes an upgrade.....consensus on an audioas... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy "You would not use a Pabst motor in a direct-drive turntable"LewmPabst is a company that made many motors. The external rotor one used in the Empire(Atmaspere)turntables is merely one of their products.They made dd motors for Revox and Goldmund an... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Ketchup: "You would think that at least one of them was an audiophile today and maybe even posts on an audiophile forum, but I have never seen one of their posts."There may well be, but I doubt very much they would post on an English speaking foru... | |
| Lyra Titan: Stylus broken during shipping Did it come from overseas? In that case it's possible that someone in customs may have opened the package for inspection. | |
| Nude Turntable Project "I do not see where the chassis can be separated from the stators of the motor."Hi LewmIn those photos it looks to me that there are 4 allen bolts accessible from the top(on the black ring)..... they are also visible from the bottom. If you look c... | |
| Best Platter Material BuconeroI think you are right. To me these things are often purely dictated by whatever is the "latest fashion trend" in audio. When the HW-19 first came out it had an aluminium platter. At the time the hype about acrylic as a 'wonder' material wa... |
