| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Dear Noromance, By no means am I implying that you or your judgement are "wrong" or that I am "right". Your Garrard set-up is very analogous to my own modified Lenco set-up (idler-drive, slate plinth, massive after-market bearing). On the Lenco, I... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. noromance, Was it you and I who had a sharp disagreement about the Boston Audio Mat2? If so, seems like your impression of the Yamamoto CF headshell and my own are equally at odds. I've liked mine so much, I now own two of them, like hdm. But o... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Chak, Was your post removed? bimasta, Please use only the world's smallest violin to lament the plight of poor, embattled CT. | |
| garrard 301 - how to polish chassis paint. Just clean it. Normal yellowing due to aging and exposure to sunlight is called "patina", and it's in vogue these days in all areas of collecting. Now, do you have a question about the function of the turntable per se? | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Clearthink, Not at all mocking your command of the English language, and you know it. Your choices of verbs and adjectives used in triplicate is impeccable. | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Per Frogman's last post, J Carr has delivered more than one treatise on this forum about the relationships among the parts of a cartridge. I'm sure he knows more about the art of building a cartridge than any of us. From his writings, I drew the... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Germans don’t really need a sense of humor when interacting with non Germans. So many of their words already sound funny to outsiders. | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Clearthink, You've got to be kidding. No one talks like that. Did your mom say to you that you must eat, masticate, and devour your dinner? | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Dear Nandric, After mastering Australian, did Mr Andreoli ever actually learn to speak English? | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Chakster, As I have pointed out to you many times, the CW is OK to sag a little bit. The rubbery joint between the CW arm and the pivot is meant to decouple the CW from the effective mass of the tonearm. Also, a little bit of sag does help to plac... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Whenever a Tyrannosaurus was nearby, the needle would jump out of the groove with every step the T Rex took. That's when the idea of turntable isolation took root. But the SPU could take the abuse. | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? You obviously didn’t get it, clearthink. You’re not thinking, clearly. | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? bimasta, The idea of using no plinth with a DD was the subject of a lengthy and some times contentious thread, me being one of those on the "nay" side of that argument. The reason is this: Newton pointed out that "for every action, there is an eq... | |
| Phono stage with 3 inputs The question I would ask to those who mention "XLR" inputs is are the phono circuits fed by the XLR inputs configured for true balanced operation or not? Usually the answer is no. Without the balanced circuitry, an XLR input is simply faddish, n... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? As a (biological) scientist myself, I think that "what we have here is a failure to communicate", to quote the chain gang boss in "Cool Hand Luke". Motors and motor controller technology have their own jargon that tends to mystify those who have ... |
