| Turntable speed accuracy Hiho, Lets keep in mind that what you quote from the Brinkmann website is a commercial, full of blather with a sprinkling of fact. Like many politicians, they set up a "straw man" controversy in order to show how their product "solves" the problem... | |
| Through with Buzz. THAT is a tough one. Is there a correlation with your physically touching the tonearm? If not, consider that there could be a ground wire perhaps in your tonearm that gets shorted out when the tonearm lifts off the LP. Look for a loose wire. | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? Experience taught me that Raul is right. So I stopped accumulating LPs once I reached ~2000. It took my 35 years to get there. Of course I do buy an LP or two here and there these days. I would guesstimate that no more than 100 LPs get 90% of the ... | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? I never was a big Shure V15 fan. So I think there are many MMs that would better it, including nearly all that have been mentioned, but this is only my opinion. Obviously there are others who disagree, which should indicate to you that you should ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Dover, You wrote, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the need for servos because DC motors inherently do not respond in of themselves to changes in loads." OK. You are wrong. First you are wrong because your statement carries the assumption ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Dear MG, I am a bit confused. Are the FMD and the TMD two different things? Sounds like you are saying that the FMD is a later development of TMD(?) Thanks for any info. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, did you have to go and spoil my recipe? The MF100 was fading from memory slowly. I was preparing my attack carefully. But NOOOOOO; you had to throw salt on my ice cream, water in my coffee, basil on my soufflé.Truthfully, I am stuffed. Could ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hiho, The point is that if you don't know enough about the circuit to fiddle with the servo at the level of its electronics (which includes me), you can at least affect damping by changing the rotating mass of the platter, which is a parameter bui... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy While I agree with Albert on the importance of the mass and the material composition of the plinth as a determinant of dd performance, you should know that there is a whole "school" of thought on the other side of the question, that holds that "no... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Recipe for finding an Astatic MF200: Simmer one audiophile over a low flame for two months, until there is a new flavor of the month cartridge here, and the MF200 is in the dustbin of history. Meantime, look out for long-forgotten flavor of anothe... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Guys, Yes, I thought of offsetting the Timeline so it rests essentially above the spindle or so that the spindle can enter it just enough to center it. However, my fear then is that if the Timeline is even very slightly off center, it will make th... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Tips on Denon restoration:(1) Send it to Bill Thalmann at Music Technologies in Springfield, VA, for a complete evaluation and repair as needed. If the strobe is inoperative, it may mean that the one IC used in the Denon circuitry is at least part... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hiho, Well said. The L07D is among those that use the servo feedback sparingly or gently, whichever term fits best. But since I cannot understand any of the feedback circuits without a tutor, it is hearsay evidence coming from me. I am reporting w... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference When I first read about TMD, I was enchanted. What a great idea! I was actually ready to buy a Transrotor with TMD, before I started my investigation of direct drive and idler drive. I still think the Transrotors are fine turntables, but now I see... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Henry, I guess I have been too lazy to check the Kenwood L07D with Timeline so far. However, my neighbor's Timeline is still sitting around my listening room, and I will do it today, sans LP and sans stylus drag. If there is a consistent erro... |
