| Ebony Denon DL 103. 50 years too late? Raymonda, To some degree, it could be said that you've discovered that an Ebony-bodied Denon DL103 is superior to a Benz Glider, even one with a ruby cantilever. To me, this is not surprising. I owned two consecutive iterations of the Glider bef... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear Sunnyjim, Don't let this rambling discussion defer you from enjoying the wonders of music on LPs. Hang on to the first principles, with which everyone agrees: (1) Skating force varies due to predictable and unpredictable factors across the ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Thuchan, I have never seen an EMT 927 in the flesh or even up for sale anywhere in the USA. So, it is unlikely I will ever get the opportunity to hear one, let alone buy one. And then if you buy one, you need to know the right sorcerers (pro... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Ralph, I am saying that when the cantilever/stylus is tangent to the groove, the friction force generated by the stylus to groove resistance has a vector directed tangent to the groove, too. But because the headshell is offset with respect to a s... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Nandric, That is a question I do not ask. If I continue to own them, it is because I like them. I was just pulling Thuchan's leg, a little. Do you have that metaphor in any of your many languages? | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? OK, so the suspense is killing me, Thuchan. WHY indeed will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? After 9 pages of responses, surely we must be closer to the answer, even if we are no closer to the question. | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear Ralph (Atma-sphere), I beg to differ slightly with your analysis. For a typical pivoted tonearm that is mounted such that the stylus overhangs the spindle and the headshell has an offset angle, there will always be some skating force, even a... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable I agree. I am done buying TT's except out of curiosity and my predilection for great vintage products as gadgets. | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Nandric,I think a magnetic set-up could provide for variation of the force with respect to the radius of the LP, depending upon how it is implemented. So, since there are many tonearms that use magnetic methods, why is the Sony so much better?To t... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Raul, I don't disagree with you in your objective judgement of the TT101 and the DP80. If you think of them only on the basis of what you can read about them, their build solidity, and their specs, then they indeed are not even meant to compete i... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Dear Raul, And you need to read again my response to your earlier post that suggested I should re-read the blurb on Vintage Knob, which contains many errors of fact, at least as regards some other vintage turntables, I might add. For example, assu... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Raul, I generally would pay no attention to specifications published by a manufacturer, although I would assume that actual units perform "close enough" to the published specs. But I would never use such information to make a fine distinction bet... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable I went to the URL provided by Theophile. The guys on Audiokarma seem to have been in general agreement that owning one of these vintage beasts is risky, in terms of their non-repairability if something breaks. I have to say that I disagree with ... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Compared to most of the other top of the line vintage Japanese direct-drive turntables, the GT2000 is readily available in Tokyo, every time I have been there and touring the audio salons. (Our son lives in Tokyo, so I am there once every couple ... | |
| Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi I agree with Maril on the sound qualities of the Urushi. I think all Koetsu's get lumped with the original Rosewood, which perhaps does/did have those shortcomings in the extreme bass and extreme treble registers. The Urushi does not, and neither... |
