| How far out to place motor from platter Third try. My last two posts never got posted. In the above post, I misspoke; the 2-platter solution to belt creep is commercially implemented in the 47 Labs turntable, not the RS Labs one. (In fact, RS Labs does not make a turntable, so far as I ... | |
| Turntable with stable speed. In the above, I was referencing a post responding to Doug that was not posted.I cited the novel design of the 47 Labs tt as a cure for belt creep, among many other things I wrote in said post. Another treatment I mentioned was use of a capstan to ... | |
| Turntable with stable speed. Sorry, I meant "47 Labs" not "RS Labs".see here | |
| How far out to place motor from platter Doug, Your comments are a perfect rationale for why I have become a devotee of idlers and direct-drives. You make a good point about the trade-off associated with having the motor pulley close as possible to the platter, but are we conflating belt... | |
| Armboard for kenwood kd 500 Make one(?) It shouldn't be that difficult. You could even buy a piece of alu or brass cut to size. Then you would only have to drill holes to mount it and a large hole for the Rega shaft. The latter might require the assistance of a machine shop ... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus vs TW Acustic Raven One Vortex wrote, ..."quality of the bass that everyone speaks of is the major difference and there is better separation of instruments, definitely bigger dynamics, and more detail". This pretty much exactly describes what I would have said was the di... | |
| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table Perhaps this new turntable will need to be submerged in water, if it uses a submarine propulsion motor, as described by Tom Clancy. That might have a sound deadening effect, but what about the radiation danger? | |
| What do you expect a reviewers system to be If a reviewer is using equipment similar to mine, and if he writes intelligently, I will take more than usual notice of what he or she may say about the equipment under review. But "more than usual notice" is not a lot of notice, for me. I general... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Raul, I was in the home of another audiophile last week, to audition his huge horn system; with mammoth horn woofers, the multi-way speaker takes up half his listening room. His cartridge was a special Audio Note Io that has field coil magnets (i.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, Could it not be said that you got what you say you hoped for, "screwed"? I know I feel screwed by LPGear, but perhaps it was nothing personal. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What about putting a SoundSmith ruby cantilever and LC stylus on the Precept 220XE? For their "regular" version, the cost of $250 is only a bit more than what we paid for the bogus 550ML stylus, and results should be far superior. The question is ... | |
| How far out to place motor from platter Manitunc, OP asked about distance. Good point to say that both motors should be the equidistant from the spindle. Along those lines, and altho the OP did not ask, the best way to use two motors would be to line them up on opposite sides of the pla... | |
| How far out to place motor from platter It's your call. For minimum belt creep, the platter and motor pulley should be as close as possible, so that the circumference of the platter is in contact with as much of the belt as is possible. For other reasons, you might want them to be far a... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Downunder, I did not have the foggiest notion that you owned a Momentum amplifier. I in no way meant to insult the product. I know zero about them, but the chassis is indeed a thing of beauty. If you like it, that is all that counts. When I read t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman, Stanton fan here too. Grace Ruby fan, too, in my case. When you say "550", may I assume you refer to the bogus blue 550ML stylus that I, Dave, Don, Raul, and apparently you purchased from LPGear? Or do you have a real one? |
