| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? The first video is a very good demonstration of the mechanism of the Schroeder. I had not previously realized that it's pivot swings in full view. I thought the working bearings were underneath, somehow. Fascinating and ingenious, because it's so ... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Thanks for the photos, but I would really like to see a video of the arm in action, showing how the pivot point moves. Is there anything on YouTube? | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Jfrech,I was thinking about the Schroeder arm (and working up a desire for one, if only I could afford it). I would imagine that setting the P2S distance for this tonearm is VERY critical to get the most out of it. Otherwise, you have a tonearm th... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Dreadhead, It was I who insulted you or more accurately made a joke at your expense, and I've apologized. Moreover, no one questioned your personal experience. I took issue with your quoting the Audio Advisor catalog to support your blanket claim ... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Raul, Yes, that's the way I would do it too. Use only a small value very high quality cap as a high pass filter in front of the amplifier that drives the upper frequencies. Then use a very high quality electronic crossover, with a steeper slope, t... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Guess I went over the top. It was more for the thrill of it than to put down Dreadhead. Sorry, Dreadhead. But thanks for the chance to exorcise some undifferentiated anger. | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? That's a reasonable answer. I think that even when there is not easily visible woofer pumping, "full-range" speakers can suffer a bit from the introduction of distortions that originate from extreme low frequency (sub-audio) signal that moves them... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Dreadhead, Did you have to bring up such an unimpeachable source of audio wisdom as The Audio Advisor? I am overwhelmed. In your spare time, leaf through their catalog and count the number of belt-drive turntables they SELL, as compared to the num... | |
| SP-10 Mat Td, As to the carpet tape, yes, only a few tiny pieces do the job more than well enough. On my Mk3, I was too anal about leaving goop on the platter, so I just used small bits of scotch tape around the lip. Two tiny pieces placed so as not to touc... | |
| Melos MA220 tube phono stage Some bogus company took over Melos after George Melos. It was located in Las Vegas, not inappropriately. They hornswaggled several Melos owners on incompetent and overpriced repairs, etc. I don't know whether they still control the brand name, but... | |
| SP-10 Mat Romy and Michelle will be pleased. | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Maybe it would be more constructive for Raul to say how to get rid of woofer pumping without a rumble filter. Since Raul (and others) have posted elsewhere that the interaction of tonearm effective mass and cartridge compliance can be disregarded ... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? A passive 6db/octave hi-pass filter, which could consist of a single low value/high quality capacitor in series with the amplifier input might be quite transparent. However, the cut-off frequency would have to be too high up into the audio range (... | |
| SP-10 Mat Just about anything with the slightest bit of stickiness will do the trick. You could probably use grape jelly.But the 3M product is a good idea. | |
| SP-10 Mat Double-sided carpet tape. |
