| Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5 While you're at it, you might contact Stan Klyne. He still does upgrades and modifications to existing units. I have a 6LX, which is in between a 6LE and a 7 series. Stan did some nice work on my unit to enhance performance. You can even bring you... | |
| Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5 Delos, did you mean to write "0.6mV"? I think so. Even that is sort of medium low output. | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Henry, Life is short indeed, and you're too smug to learn anything new. Instead of the snide remarks, I beg you to think about what you're saying when you say that the Timeline can show you whether your arm pod is moving or not moving. That's the ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? If you see Popsy walking very very slowly down the middle of your street, and if he looks kind of greenish and seems to want to eat you, just offer him an SL1200. | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Parrotbee, That's a rather subjective decision. You'd have to make two plinths, one with Panzerholz and one with acrylic and then do your own listening tests. However, if you're talking about all-acrylic vs all Panzerholz (no mixing of disparate m... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Dear Dover, No. | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Timeltel, Who can disagree that the first choice is the tonearm? I certainly don't. But I think the controversy surrounds the question of how best to mount a given tonearm in relation to the tt proper, assuming a priori that the choice of tonearm ... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables CT, I am glad someone appreciates my sense of humor. | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables I want to stay out of this discussion, because it's all been said before, but I wanted to point out, with respect to the argument regarding whether the arm pod moves due to stylus drag, that the mass of the arm pod, no matter how great, is not the... | |
| Walker Signature Phono resistance The difference between 4 and 6 ohms internal resistance would not by itself account for any difference in tonal balance you may perceive, comparing a 100R load on a XV-1S to a 1000R load on a TKR. If you're happy with 1000R, I'd say leave it alone... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi Henry, I was hoping you would come out of your recent shell. Once again, you've written nothing that comes remotely close to changing my mind about outboard arm pods. However, I do agree with you on some of the other issues... Where was it exac... | |
| New direct drive turntables? Halcro, IMO, the use of AC and DC to describe the servo is a little misleading as regards these turntables. The Denon uses a 3-phase AC synchronous motor, if I recall correctly. Thus it tends to be more speed stable even without a servo, compared ... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Viridian et al, You guys may be missing the point of what Atma-sphere wrote (at least as I see it). The point is that whatever the resonant signature, it is critical that the tonearm and platter be "connected" so they resonate as one piece. The pr... | |
| EMT direct drive and Technics SP-10 opinions? I usually refrain from such a discussion (Sampsa), because after all, it's only my opinion, and unless you've been in my house, heard my system(s), and already know that our tastes are coincident, my opinion is worthless. However, since you asked:... | |
