| Stylus Rake Angle On the subject of stylus overhang:If the pivot to spindle distance is set exactly right, meaning +/-0.3mm of the recommended, because that is the best anyone can do, then it seems to me that small errors in overhang (say +/-1.0mm, but I would have... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Dear Raul, Perhaps I am mistaken but was there not a time when you expressed the opinion that small errors in overhang do not make much audible difference, may not even be "important"? I thought that was your position vis a vis that of Dertonearm ... | |
| installing the SME V tonearm in the Technics SP10 Manitunc et al, I believe it is the square escutcheon that surrounds the platter and is part of the chassis that will get in the way, not the platter. The square also makes mounting of many tonearms with side pillars to adjust VTA difficult, awkwa... | |
| Pass Labs XONO's hum sound Do any of these devices have switching power supplies, perchance? | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Yes, but "timing" per se is the job of the turntable. The turntable provides the "X-axis" for the music, which is time. Who could argue that correct time is not important? Not me. | |
| Stylus Rake Angle None of you explained the mechanism, only why it is a good thing. I agree it is a good thing. After thinking about it last night (what I do in the dark before sleep), I decided maybe it has to do with how music is encoded in the groove vis how the... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Peter et al, If you hear an effect of VTA on timing, I don't doubt it. I just wonder why that would be so. I certainly believe that VTA adjustment makes a difference, and I do pay attention to it in a non-anal way. However, I never thought about i... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle "Adjust for proper timing between fundamental and harmonics."Since it came from Frank Schroeder, who is widely regarded as a guru in all matters vinyl, this simple statement sounds brilliant and true. Now, will someone please tell me how "timing" ... | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 Almarg's remarks make good sense. I note that the "Signature" version of the Rhea uses coupling caps that are twice the value of those in the non-Signature version. (4uF vs 2uF, respectively.) The larger caps would go some distance to ameliorate t... | |
| 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... |
