| Nude Turntable Project Dover, Whom are you addressing? If you are addressing me, then I was only referencing the definition of "nude" back to the beginning of this thread, whether you like the idea of nudity or not, in a turntable. Please recall that I was not a propone... | |
| New ZYX Premium cartridge line I believe the use of a magic gizmo by ZYX pre-dates the use of a magic gizmo by Walker. An earlier ZYX TOTL cartridge had it already several years ago, if you are talking about a sapphire-colored sphere, said to be a crystal. Of course, one could ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Yes, if your goal is to grow some beans. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, Ironic, is it not, that you are using a tonearm Raul dislikes greatly to evaluate a cartridge you bought because of Raul's recommendation. And you like it. Anyway, I hope all is well. I have no animosity against anyone. | |
| Nude Turntable Project The Verdier is NOT "nude" by the original definition put forth by Halcro after Raul. (Please go back to the beginning of this thread.) Nude means or is a synonym for "no plinth". No plinth means that those who adopted the approach mounted their tt... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I'm sure it does; I've never seen the thread slip on any of those. That was part of my point to Dover. I thought also you were going to take issue with his idea that the Verdier needs a "stronger" motor. To my way of thinking, the Verdier is one o... | |
| Nude Turntable Project By the way, the same might be said of the TT101 motor. It too is completely encased, top and bottom, maybe for the same reason??? | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dover, Funny you say that about "converting" the Verdier to thread drive. Nearly all, if not actually all, the Verdiers I have ever seen have been using thread drive. I actually thought it was "stock". One well known emporium near me that sells Ve... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Henry, Don't own a Garrard 301. Do own a highly modified Lenco L75. In fact the only parts from a stock Lenco that I use are the motor, the idler arm and wheel, and the platter. Where there is a motor, there is an electromagnetic field. Thus I am ... | |
| Cartridge rec.'s for Denon DP-60l DV 10X5 has 2.5mV output. This would be marginal for the Bellari, but might work fine if the Mac receiver linestage section adds enough additional gain. However, not only is MM an "option", but you should be looking primarily at MM or MI cartridge... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dover, Did you mean "EMF" or "EMI"? The discussion has gotten a bit confusing with the interchangeable use of the terms "EMI", "magnetism or magnetics", and "electromagnetics". Different manifestations of the same phenomena but with different cons... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I guess Syntax might say that he is not surprised that you prefer the TT101 to the Raven for deepest bass response. I've never yet owned a BD tt with a platter that would meet Dertonearm's standard for mass, so I have no opinion (and in fairness, ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, To reiterate, copper does not shield against magnetism, electro- or other, largely because, as you noted yourself, copper is non-magnetic. Also, electrical insulators that you list are not good insulators against magnetism. Stainless steel... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I just went to the URL provided by Aigenga. The photos show exactly what I did, as well, to create an EMI shield for my L07D. However, I never heard any "wum-wum" when the brake activated, either before or after shielding was installed. That site ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, I would not expect copper per se to do much to absorb or block a magnetic field, except by virtue of its thickness which would just physically space the LP and the cartridge that much further away from the source. I am glad to hear your re... |
