| Does 21g seem high for effective tonearm mass? To my way of thinking, 21 grams is in the range of "high mass", not "medium mass". Medium mass is more like 10 to 15 grams, IMO. Of course, to some degree it is a matter of opinion. In any case, 21 grams is not stratospherically high. Most notably... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review I agree with Halcro's basic sentiments, BUT what I would like to see Fremer do is to use a garden variety but generally well recognized tt as a "control" in his listening experiments. Then perhaps the vast majority of us who cannot and never will ... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Actus, I often have similar thoughts. Another one, besides the issue of off-center spindle holes, is that many of us acquire the bulk of our LPs in used condition for a couple of bucks, with no knowledge whatever of how they were cared for by the ... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review I think someone did test the NVS with a Timeline. This was mentioned possibly in the previous now banished NVS thread. Perhaps the person who performed this comparison will enlighten us.As to the Onedof, why would one assume it has perfect speed s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What? You guys wear clothes in the listening room? | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Dear Raul, In your discourse you could not resist taking a shot at tube amplification vs solid state. There is no doubt that SS gear can easily be built to surpass most tube gear in terms of the commonly made measurements (THD, IMD, etc). However,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Note from the Underground, to Nicola. It was SS to whom I sent an email "2-3 months ago", regarding their Grace stylus. I have no complaint regarding Axel, except if he really has raised his prices.. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear AcmanI sent SS an email on this subject (replacement ruby cantilever cum LC stylus for my broken Grace Ruby) at least 2-3 months ago, and I received no response at all. I figure if my interest in spending the requisite sum is so boring to the... | |
| pro-ject speed box 2 , all they say it is ? Lenco motor requires around 15-18W, IIRC. You are correct. Not to mention that if the Speedbox is designed for an AC synchronous motor, the Lenco motor is not of that ilk. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Aigenga, All this is leading to the revelation that Freud used a direct-drive turntable in a slate plinth. Given my ethnicity, I have/had no problem with the assumption of guilt. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Nicola, Freud is widely quoted as having said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." If he said it, I don't know whether he said it in Viennese or English, but the meaning is left to the knowledgable listener to divine. A person who had no pri... | |
| Lifespan of NOS telefunken 12AX7? Re the SP14: What I thought based on memory, but I was too lazy to look it up. The SP14 did not use 12AX7s at all, so the story if not relevant. | |
| Lifespan of NOS telefunken 12AX7? As Rrog and Elizabeth inferred, it would depend upon the plate voltage (voltage difference between anode and cathode) and DC current being run through the tube. The product of those two parameters is "plate dissipation" in Watts. Look up a tube da... | |
| Nude Turntable Project IMO, the Onedof turntable was designed around a novel idea for a bearing. The designer seems to know very little else about turntable design. Thus I think he is entitled to his opinion but that it is not much more relevant than that of any other m... | |
| Nude TT / Armpod question Henry, Your solution and the Da Vinci turntable system both comply with the conditions I outlined above in my first paragraph. So I am sure both work very well. However, I don't agree "in principle" with mounting a tt chassis on a compliant footer... |
