| Acrylic platter This is just a matter of opinion. My opinion is that acrylic is not intrinsically any better than alu. The early Teres turntables used all acrylic platters, and the recommendation was for no platter mat. Then they went to acrylic with pockets of l... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Yes. I know Toto make bidets as well as toilets. Probably sinks, bathtubs, etc, as well. Toho is nice too. | |
| idler rumble, heat, and record wear--a connection? Cocoa, Have you felt around among the various culprits we've mentioned? The thing that is hottest may likely be the source of the heat. If the LP is very warm due to the motor, the motor must be very very hot, for example. If you own or can borrow... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Japan in my opinion produces the world's finest toilets: Toto is the brand. I guess there is no relationship between Toto and Toho. Nandric, This is way OT, but I am enthralled with the Beveridges. And they are set up in my basement where my wife ... | |
| idler rumble, heat, and record wear--a connection? Maybe there's a heat lamp hanging over the turntable. | |
| idler rumble, heat, and record wear--a connection? At 33 rpm, assuming no significant slippage of the idler wheel against the platter, and assuming there is some sort of mat between the platter and the LP that ought not to be a very efficient conductor of heat, unless it's made of copper, I cannot... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges What is a ToXion tonearm? I presume one is obliged to capitalize the "X"? Is this another Dertonearm product? | |
| Polishing your TT bearing Viridian, You can add Herb Papier, designer, inventor, and builder of the original Triplanar tonearms to your list of watchmakers who went into analog audio. Herb once made most of the individual parts that go into a Triplanar in his own basement.... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Anyway, Two things are certain: (1) The early adapters will be ecstatic over this tonearm, and (2) we'll be arguing over why that is. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Dear Henry, You obviously have a vast knowledge of esoteric manufacturing processes. Thanks for the input on that subject. However, I would take issue with your last sentence:"But casting, welding, machining and gluing do." This was written in ref... | |
| Herron VTPH2 questions? What is the phono gain of the Herron? Does it have a linestage built-in? If so, what is the additional gain afforded by the linestage? If you want your question answered, you need to supply the minimal data needed in order to do it. On the other h... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Paraneer, If you are going to write out "piece of shit", there is no need for "POS". (Kidding.)Paraneer an Csontos, you are nowhere near sick enough to participate in this thread, if those are your respective lifelong lists of turntables, unless y... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned This thread is like a group therapy session. I feel much better knowing I am far from the "sickest" one here. I posted here last time in 2008. Since then I sold my Technics SP10 Mk2, bought an NOS SP10 Mk3 and built a plinth for it, bought two Ken... | |
| Someone in Chicago to help with Maplenoll Ariadne? Hey Bob, Your Beveridge 2SWs are sounding great. These pumps are akin to those used for fish tanks, and indeed some of them ARE fish tank air pumps. Ergo, you are quite likely to find the proper size clamps at a store or on-line where accessories ... | |
| progress? Because you have made some bad buying decisions, if your sole goal is tracking the 1812 Overture, and because of inflation and the evolution of the "high end" as we now know it, and because to some degree "we" drank the moving coil Kool-Aid 30 yea... |
