| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed I had a long-delayed second thought. The best course of action, IMO, would be to follow the procedures suggested by MC and oldhvy, and determine whether there is a change in the condition. There are also obvious things, like observing the platter ... | |
| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed I know exactly how the RR works, Mijo. If the phenomenon that the OP is sensing lasts for less than one full rotation of the platter, I doubt he’d hear it, and the other devices mentioned would be even less likely to detect it. Anyway, the RR ... | |
| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed A strobe device may miss what you're trying to identify. The other devices mentioned would be even less likely to catch it, in my opinion. Best would be a Phoenix Engineering Roadrunner but that's too costly for this use. Your ears are free. | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? Then why are you here? None of us can be privy to the emotions that must govern your ultimate course of action. | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... If you are a relative newbie to this hobby or to DD turntables, it would be a no-brainer to opt for the new Technics, the best one in the G series that you can afford. Among vintage direct drive turntables, my opinion is that the Denon DP80 or DP7... | |
| Dustcover Blues Yep. Audiokinesis and Duke Lejeune. Woofer array. The question of whether the resonance has anything to do with Helmholtz is somewhat relevant, because if it were due to the Helmholtz phenomenon, then you could live on with your prior convictio... | |
| Brinkmann and Koetsu? I would think that the Brinkmann SL tonearm would have too low vertical effective mass for Koetsu but inertia in the horizontal plane is high with SL tonearms, so perhaps you'd be ok. I love my Triplanar but it was not a good match with Koetsu Uru... | |
| Dustcover Blues Golly! I am so glad to be instructed by you after only 50 years of messing about with audio. First, I wouldn't argue for a moment that my SL experience would be improved if I were to add SUBwoofers to the Sound Lab system. (In other words, woofe... | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" Yes, there are a few titles that I buy over and over again, just searching for the best possible sample of that particular recording. But I've never bought more than, say, half a dozen different copies of any. | |
| Dustcover Blues You say this whole problem came to light while you were listening to Herbie Hancock’s "Secrets". How does that square with your inference that my own preference for jazz ("old" and new) limits the demands I place on my systems? I also listen to cl... | |
| Is the PS Audio PerfectWave P10 Power Plant worth it? grigor, You wrote, "Judging by the THD and the scope graph that shows me how much of a clean up is happening, it tells me that if I disconnect it and somehow do a double blind comparison between wall outlet and the P5 I will not be able to tell th... | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" Does anyone know how Hot Stampers acquire and screen their hot stampings?? For example, do they look for low numbers on the inner groove of the LP, showing that the LP in question was one of the first several that came off the master? I’ve always ... | |
| Dustcover Blues Partial retraction. OK, I see that if it were the movement of air in the room, caused by your woofers, that was inducing the Helmholtz effect, then shutting down the woofers would possibly reduce the SPLs sufficiently to ameliorate the Helmholtz ... | |
| Dustcover Blues Man! You really like to turn it up. Most people that come into my listening room where the 845PXs are located (otherwise known as "our living room") complain to me that I listen too loud. My sound labs probably go lower in the bass region than you... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming We were posting simultaneously. Please see my post above yours. Perhaps that will help. I do realize you have already purchased the QL7. |
