| High quality AC turntable motor Grbluen, Great question. I have been wondering the same. | |
| High quality AC turntable motor Palasr, I once wondered about modifying one of the early type PS Audio P300 power plants, such that one can attain a wider and continuous control over frequency. That plus a few other tricks might make it useable as a 2-phase controller. I think i... | |
| High quality AC turntable motor Dear Larry, I think those are two different things (splitting phase, which is an advantage for an AC synchronous motor controller, vs electrically switching speed, which can be done by either controlling voltage or AC frequency or both, depending ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear SB, You wrote, "If the cantilever's azimuth is twisted, i.e. not 90 degrees, then a more complicated diamond profile may indeed show peculiar mistracking distortions, sibilance being #1." I don't know if I agree with your assumption that sibi... | |
| High quality AC turntable motor Palasr, You are correct; the Walker MC is likely to be pretty much like the SDS. This is what I was referring to in my previous post "most" current commercial controllers do not actually split the phase of the AC.I am awaiting delivery, as I menti... | |
| Strobe question incandescent will not work, as others said or implied. | |
| High quality AC turntable motor What John wrote of the Notts controller is also largely true of the other best known tt controllers, namely that they do not do true phase splitting. Yet there are obvious benefits nevertheless. I am on the wait list for mark Kelly's controller, w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Obviously, story boy and I cannot both be correct. His only comment was that i am wrong. I do not see why a deviated cantilever would cause sibilance. I would rather expect it to cause distortions of other types, in one channel vs the other, or a ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold, I doubt that the sibilance is related to the imperfect cantilever alignment. | |
| High quality AC turntable motor Lohanimal, a mains sign wave regenerator is what you need in the context of a controller for an AC synchronous motor. "Angling the power.." Sounds to me like another way of saying the same thing, hopefully. Perhaps the K K will be cheaper, but it ... | |
| New AMG tt just arrived. Dover, It is indeed "unbalanced", if you want to balance it on the head of a pin. But I do like the way the plinth follows the curve of the platter on one end. In my belt-drive days, I had come to the conclusion that BD tables thus designed have a... | |
| New AMG tt just arrived. Presumably you are also using a phono cartridge to achieve this level of euphoria. Can you say what that is? Phono stage?A cartridge makes a very tiny amount of voltage and current, not enough really to "break in" a phono cable in a month or two, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The "new" Clearaudio line of MM cartridges is not "old news" to me. But thanks for the information; it's much like what is written in Stereophile or TAS or wherever I saw the notice of the existence of these cartridges. I never went for a Virtuoso... | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart I am not sure a conventional SUT would mate at all well with an MI cartridge, such as the Paua, because of its likely higher inductance and possibly higher internal resistance than that of any LOMC cartridge. | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart You own it. Why not listen to yours and tell US what it sounds like. It seems the Sussuro and the Paua are rather rare birds, which is why there are probably not to many reviews available. I thought about buying that one myself. The reason for usi... |
