| VPI tonearm length improvement To your question, no or only if by chance you were to do a better job of set-up . | |
| A $349 record brush Dust is probably at the molecular level, so it's obviously overkill. | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming VE is not the most reliable source, either. But that's interesting to know. Perhaps that is where I first noticed the recommendation to use the UA7045 with high compliance cartridges, mentioned above. | |
| Technics SP-10mk2 oscillations What Best-groove said. What you observed, rays, is normal and not a good idea in practice. The servo system needs the mass of the platter in order to operate properly. The herky jerky motion of the rotor without any mass on it is what to expect. | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other The belt drive analog of that philosophy is also coupling a very weak motor to a very heavy platter, first done by both Walker Audio and Nottingham Analog. There is a stock argument against that approach, but I don't pretend to know whether it ho... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other terry, But you want the motor to affect speed, when the speed drifts away from constancy. So, in your first paragraph, are you making a virtue or a problem out of "torque". I am not sure what you meant. Could be you are saying that to couple a l... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming I think it's one of those cases where someone at some time mentioned here that the UA7045 was suitable for high compliance cartridges, and from that moment forward it became a "fact". I was surprised to read that statement, because by eye the UA7... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Here is a bad thing about a spring-suspended DD turntable: The energy put into rotation of the platter is also going to twist the chassis on its suspension, in the direction opposite to platter rotation (counter-clockwise). That is why it’s a good... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? Needlestein, if my MMC1 looks perfect under my microscope and if it doesn’t collapse at its standard 1.0g VTF, may I assume it’s ok? I recently noticed some distortion and I’m trying to track down the source. | |
| How to identify my weakest link? Ears are attached to a brain. It’s been shown many times that hearing acuity is only part of the way in which we perceive live music or an audio system SQ. Prior experience and self training count for a lot. Albeit deaf is deaf. Just ask. Beethoven. | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? Get a map and then read up on the last 80 years of history. There is no Czechoslovakia these days. There are the Czech Republic and Slovenia, two countries. Slovenia is a member of NATO. Ukraine is a huge independent country to the east of Sloven... | |
| Tonearm for Technics SP-15 If one is obsessed with that grounding system, best to make a ground wire with a banana jack of correct size to fit the female ground receptor in the base, and then use modern high end phono cables to carry the signal. (That would be my opinion.) ... | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? You ask, “will I hear a difference “, and then you report that you did hear a difference that is likely to translate to your home system. So +1 for Mijostyn. | |
| Smart power supplies for turntable Kingharold, In the context of your thread, wasn't it mentioned that your Clearaudio has a voltage regulator on board the chassis, feeding 12VDC to the motor? Either that, or the $1200 option includes a regulator at its output. Because of the vol... | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 Raul, I hope I’m wrong but didn’t someone have a bad experience with Bluz Bros having to do with their selling non-original styli as “OEM”? |
