| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? I've seen photos of Dave's work on the Trans-fi. I was very impressed. | |
| VPI 40th Anniversary Table After Warranty Support Question magmadster, Seems you are dreaming bad dreams about problems that are yet to happen. This leads to inactivity and paranoia. Enjoy the here and now and trust that tomorrow will take care of itself, or not. If you consider this hobby a form of in... | |
| Attenuator & Transformer for Moving Coil cartridge No no no. If you’re serious about a high quality result, I would not advise placing any sort of attenuator in line between the tonearm and your phono stage. Unfortunately, the best choice here would be to try to find an SUT with a 1:10 or lower st... | |
| Dragon, RX-505 or DR-2 ? best-groove, Most Ferrari owners use their cars only a few weekends per month, if that often. Did you see a high mileage used Ferrari? So, perhaps the analogy is not apt. | |
| A Night with three phono stages Allnic 1202, ANK and GoldNote PH10 Chakster, Why would it amaze you that my grandparents originated from Russia? Actually, grandpa was from Rumania; grandma from Russia although she was living in Alexandria, Egypt, when she got on the boat to the US at age 17, after having been bor... | |
| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart bsmg, The fact that most people do use belt-drive turntables is mostly a result of decades of market pressure, not a careful analysis of the virtues of each drive system. However, your point about wanting to be left alone is valid. Certainly, no... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? sgunther et al who use the Terminator: The most knowledgeable guy I know as regards the Terminator is Dave Garretson. He devised a novel way to reduce drag of the wiring on the movement of the arm and he also manufactured a novel arm wand with ad... | |
| What's the deal? It's actually well in hand. Handily. | |
| Tracking Force? I don’t know what other misunderstandings pertain but if the max recommended VTF is around 2.0, then 3.8 is likely to collapse the suspension over time and to damage any LP. Don’t do it. | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? Jea, Your point is fairly taken. However, there is some "science" around power cords and interconnects, to name just two elements. Power cords may be heavy enough in gauge to transfer the current needed by the component, or not. They may be shi... | |
| Sony PS-X9 besty, I once owned a Transcriptors Hydraulic. The thing was irresistible of you were a gadgeteer, which I was and am. However, the shortcomings of the turntable and especially the weird tonearm with the floppy headshell were readily apparent, ... | |
| Sony PS-X9 Back when I used to frequent local audio stores, which is to say back when such stores even existed in the DC area, that's how La Platine was set up for demonstration. The motor was situated at least 3-4 feet away from the platter, on its own sepa... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Please tell us what Rabinow did with coat hangers to prevent a toilet from being flushed while the train was in the station. Inquiring minds want to know. | |
| Sony PS-X9 The La Platine has one design flaw (at least). The unit is top heavy and rests on spongy feet. Since the platter is well balanced, this isn't an awful problem, but platter inertia coupled with the biasing weight of the tonearm and its built on m... | |
| A Night with three phono stages Allnic 1202, ANK and GoldNote PH10 Chakster, The Steelhead and its max 65db of gain "works" with my MC2000, but it depends upon the LP. Some LPs are encoded with more gain than others. LPs with higher gain work fine, and I have no hiss problem. (I do have hiss problem when tryin... |
