| Upgrade: Turntable or Cartridge? To add a smidgeon to what Doug said, if the motor is however imperceptibly moving toward the platter during play, the speed of the turntable cannot remain constant. Another remedy: double-sided tape to immobilize the motor feet, and if that does n... | |
| Upgrading Turntable Redglobe, By all means, "learn" from Arthur Salvatore, but don't swallow his opinions hook, line, and sinker. He is humanly fallible in that regard, as we all are. | |
| Upgrade: Turntable or Cartridge? You wrote, "There are a few convenience things that are annoying, such as the decoupled motor which always ends up sitting against the table and needs to be moved." From this I gather that the tt has a stand-alone motor and that it moves during us... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Thuchan, Can you elaborate on the necessity to "align" the Boulder 2008? I have never heard that term applied to a phono stage. Thanks. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? I love my Lenco, but the common explanation for its excellence, and that of other idlers, i.e., "torque" cannot be the whole story. First, because altho the induction motors on the Garrard 301 and Lenco L75 may look massive, they are in fact very ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Chris, Without getting into the debatable issues, I am trying to figure out how your own description of that SP10 matches with what I think I see in the photo. From the photo, and the two smaller inset photos which I cannot get my computer to enla... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Nandric, Are the moderators THAT prudish? Shame on them.Halcro, Good on you that you did not agree with Ct to use compliant footers. We are not so far apart in our thinking.I discussed with Bill Thalmann your finding that the cage is ferrous and t... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Benjie, Why don't YOU call Lloyd and ask him, and then tell us what he says.Bruce, Everyone knows that a pyramid blocks RFI. That's why the Egyptians built those huge ones. The Pharoahs were buried with kick-ass audio systems. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Timeltel, If you've read that "shoot-out", you should also see that the comparisons were hardly controlled or scientific in any way. Different tonearms and cartridges were used on each tt. Results were largely based on subjective opinion, etc... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak I don't want to get into this too deeply on a personal level. I have known Lloyd for years, and I like and respect him highly. In my experience, every one of his tweaks works, but I have not tried them all (as you can tell vis crystals). I think h... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Forgot to add a response to Stringreen: This is not about whether crystals "work" or not. This is about the simple question of whether a crystal can absorb and eliminate or reduce RFI or EMI, at all, to any extent. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Tim, Being a Connecticutian (a term of my own concoction) by birth and still a Connecticut Yankee at heart, I know Willimantic quite well. A prostitute could starve there, unless she also liked to babysit or cut grass. As it turns out, I am wrong ... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Geoff, I sense your sarcasm, but I am immune to it. Another computer search today reveals mainly that Google finds either confirmation from many sources that crystal oscillators are a source of RFI OR it finds references in the Tweakers Asylum and... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Perditty, I meant no slur. Sorry. Geoff, There has been a LOT of published science on the behavior of crystals in electronic applications. It's actually quite an interesting history dating back to the 1920s. By WWII, quartz crystals were already b... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I think the word "hooker" comes from the USA. During the Civil War era, (1860s) there were prostitutes that followed the army of General Hooker, an officer of the Northern cause. Somehow, these ladies came to be known as hookers. I wonder whether ... |
