| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, Re your last post. First, can we be clear that I am NOT talking about air-borne vibrations? You keep going back to that in order to debunk something or other that I've written, and I keep reiterating that I am not so concerned with tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If that is so, we can move our whole discussion to the aforementioned website. (I am not taking any chances; Big Brother is listening.)I am reading a novel about life in Russia under Stalin, so this is timely, not to mention Timeltel. Comrades, we... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul, What you write makes perfect sense. I note that most of the MS users have modified their tables to get to where they are happy with it. Along those lines, I would have thought that an outboard arm pod would at least defeat that very rea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timel, Don't go away! Your post is so cryptic that you need to stay and explain it. I don't know why your posts are delayed, if that is the case. Mine are all too distressingly immediate.When you guys discuss the sound of an AT20SS, are you talkin... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V Geoff, Touche'. I wrote what I wrote BEFORE I saw the new price of the latest Proscenium. Suddenly, it has become less real. I used to think of it as a bargain among megabuck turntables, when it was in the $40K to $60K range. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Henry, You misunderstand me. I really don't give a shit. I am not hyperventilating, and yes, your angry tirades (and one response of mine which was written in anger), in lieu of what could be an interesting back and forth discussion, and your tota... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Banquo, If, God forbid, you ever do have a problem with the quartz clock or any other unobtainium ICs that may be lurking in the circuit, you are not necessarily out of luck. If Victor was anything like Technics, you will find that some of the ind... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pinging Dave Garretson or anyone who has had a cartridge rebuild by SS. I saw a post on VA tonight where a guy reports that the required VTF for his FR cartridge, after rebuild by SS with the OC-CL stylus installed, was way different (nearly 2X) f... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul, With the big Micro Seiki's, and since we are all about building new or modifying original products to suit our beliefs and desires, isn't is possible to get around their perceived problems with the armboard mount by using (i) an outboard arm... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? FYI, I think the most expensive re-tip from Peter is $350, for the ruby cantilever and selected line contour stylus. For $250, you can have ruby and LC, too. I am not exactly clear why one LC stylus is $100 more than the other. Peter has my second... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System OK. I read the first paragraph or two and then ran out of energy (vibrational and otherwise). Why can't you imagine that two wholly independent structures could react differently from one another to, lets say, a heavy footfall on one hand or the 1... | |
| Anybody familiar with magnetic drive by GST 801? Hi Nicola, Can you zero the magnetic VTF and then apply VTF only by sliding the counterweight? That's one way to deal with your problem without really fixing it. But there are some who prefer the passive method for VTF anyway. Sorry I cannot help ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, I just stumbled upon this revival of your interesting thread. I think in your post of March 6 you have accomplished a well known rhetorical ploy; you've raised a "red herring". My argument (and Dover's) was never primarily about plane ... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V Ditto on Lloyd. He keeps it real. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I saw a piece on TV the other day about Liz Taylor's jewelry collection. It may have been on display locally or up for auction or something. She had some of the biggest sapphires in the world. (OK, no cracks; I'm hip.) Imagine how many cantilevers... |
