| Nude Turntable Project Aigenga,In the TT101 Service Manual it explicitly states that the bearing needs no service, which would include periodic lubrication. Bill Thalmann also strongly advised against trying to "lubricate" it. You may fairly respond, and I would agree, ... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Dear Neetzshe, You wrote:"That is how science works: theory, then, experiment."It can also work the other way: Experiment, then formulate a theory based on actual data. Then do more experiments to determine whether your theory holds water.Please d... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Perditty, The only thing I would take issue with is your use of the term "debate". Inert crystals either can or cannot affect RFI. The debate could be about whether they make an improvement in one's audio system; that would be a reasonable subject... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Perditty, Rodman, and Benjie: Can you get it through your heads that my question is not whether your system sounds better with the Walker crystals. It is also not about whether my system would sound better if I were to employ them. My ONLY questio... | |
| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? Thuchan, I admire your purchasing power, but the topic has been hashed over beyond ad nauseam. Let me turn the question around: do you like either of your digital rigs better than your EMT927? | |
| 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... |
