| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable The motor itself, of course, is a copy of the Dual coreless motor that preceded it. I think we've discussed this before. You or someone else offered that Kenwood had to change the design of the motor stators so as to avoid violation of the Dual pa... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Yes, I was aware of the fact that the magnetic suspension serves to take some of the load off the bearing, but there is still some load. I was not aware of the mechanism, however. Thanks.When I first got my L07D, before I had installed the platter... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Spirit, the bits about torque and feedback and all that stuff in your most recent long post are not logical. A high torque motor does not obviate the need for feedback. In fact, it may increase the need for feedback, because the motor is "in ... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Every time I pass through the kitchen, I fire up the TT101 once or twice to see if it's decided to go nuts again. This morning it finally did, once, from "cold" (power off overnight). Then it worked again on re-start for the duration of my light b... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine OK. When I finally got home at 9:30 tonight, there was a big box sitting outside my front door, left there by UPS. Apparently my dear wife had not even peeked outside all day, or at least since late afternoon. As you may have already guessed, my p... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Halcro, Did you not report earlier some issues related to removal of the outer cage? Either this had a bad effect on the tt itself or on some nearby components. And Richard, since we had concluded rightly or wrongly that the outer cage is an RF sh... | |
| Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt Moonglum, You are the one with the agenda. It is possible for turntable to sound great and pass the Timeline test. It is also possible for a turntable to sound awful (or at least less good than some other tt that fails Timeline) and yet pass the T... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Dear Richard, If anything, the tt itself generates RFI internally. I think Halcro noticed some related issues when he ran his "naked", without the metal casing. In fact, I think we all concluded that one function of that casing is to shield other ... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine FWIW, my unit has all new electrolytics. That's the first thing we did during the first round at Bill's shop. On the second go-round, Bill re-soldered all those suspect solder joints. When it then failed in my house, I myself re-soldered yet more ... | |
| Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt Syntax, Mosin, and Hiho are correct. What a motley crew. | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Yeah, I thought of that. This last guy made about $150 and can freely admit he's done nothing. Yet I still have to pay for his time. What a country!However, in Bill's case, not only is he the salt of the earth in terms of honesty, but I did see my... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine The big question is, what's a "turnable"?Here we've all been talking about turntables, and Halcro wanted to discuss turnables all along.Some few of you might want to know that after sending off my own TT101 for its third fix, the repair person (NO... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Ack, I follow your reasoning right up to the last sentence. The Timeline per se is not even as heavy as the "typical" record weight, and the mass of a record weight/Timeline is concentrated at the center of rotation, where the motive force has a t... | |
| cartridge for WELL TEMPERED Amadeus Do you know the effective mass of the Amadeus tonearm? That parameter would be a major determinant of how well a low compliance MC cartridge will "work". Plus, the inherent viscous damping of the WT tonearms is a something that will need some adju... | |
| I have just bought a used Well Tempered Classic If you want to be overwhelmed with ideas for a good MM cartridge (nearly all of them are "high output"), check out the "Who needs MC cartridges when we have MM thread", with over 11,000 posts. But before you buy one, be sure that the tonearm truly... |
