| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I am a bit embarrassed and apologetic to the others as regards this exchange of insults in which I have participated. Fleib, your tone is no surprise to me; cut back on the coffee. Your level of certainty based on no data is also not a surprise. R... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive "The motors are located farther from the cartridge". But in a DD turntable, the platter IS the rotor. There is no separated motor assembly to "make noise"; the platter is motivated to rotate only by virtue of its being a part of the rotor, being... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive Not to disagree entirely with Lak's point, but let's not equate rim drive with direct-drive. They are or can be as different from one another as BD from DD. Likewise, I think the Reed Muse turntable that I mentioned above offers the option of a ... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive Sorry if I was too rough on you. You told me privately which two turntables you compared. I was interested to learn that they are both from the same company, one a DD and one a BD. That right there is a topic worth discussing: why did the one c... | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive This is meaningful only in the sense that you have compared two turntables and found that you like the sound of one better than that of the other. Period.I can tell you about two direct-drive turntables, one of which has an inherently more "roman... | |
| Nude Turntable Project FWIW, You can find Herzan isolation tables for sale on eBay as industrial surplus items, and in that format they can be quite affordable. (They really ARE most often used for electron microscopes or to isolate sensitive industrial processors of o... | |
| review iPhono 2 Thanks for your response. So, I take it that you install the iTube downstream from the iPhono(?) Whatever works is fine, but I would choose/do choose to use good tube equipment in the first place. I reckon that if I plug the iPhono2 into the AU... | |
| review iPhono 2 Audiofun, Thank you for the well written and "intelligent" review. While I was already aware of the iPhono2 and have recommended it to others on a budget, because of Fremer's praise for it, I was not aware of the iTube2. Just now, I Googled it, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, My comment is to note that the units on those charts of FR are 0.1 db. None of us would ever hear 0.2 db (the rise in response seen in the R channel with 100K ohm loading), at those very high frequencies. Maybe this is not the right wa... | |
| Tube Help--I'm trying to make sense of the codes on this tube. tomcy6, Thank you for the very educational response. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? No, SP10 Mk3 is not coreless. It's a massive 24-pole motor. I never heard any "problem" with it, but it definitely sounds more coherent, musical, or smooth (pick your adjective) after having undergone the Krebs mod, which is directed at the tende... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, I am not sure what you are reporting. Do you perceive that your TT81 outperforms the TT101, compared even to how the TT101 sounded before the power outage? Or are you saying that this observation is in relation to how the TT101 performed ... | |
| Feedback through turntable CT0517, I have no dog in this fight, which is to say I am only guessing that the problem IS airborne. I certainly could be wrong, since my opinion is based only on the paragraph submitted by the OP. But can you say why you think the problem IS N... | |
| Feedback through turntable Totem, You wrote, "Start with implementing room treatments rather thanapplying this or that band-aid." Isn't there an internal contradiction in that sentence? Some would classify room treatments as a bandaid. Not that there's anything wrong with... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Thanks, Noble. I did find the Romeyn website for the Debra, by searching on "Audiokinesis Debra", oddly. As you note, they are similar in price and very similar in composition. So this begs the question, why are two different and so similar produ... |
