| Turntable speed accuracy One more thing. I realized whilst taking my evening stroll that I had misrepresented the Lenco. I alone have set up mine so that the speed adjustment is so tedious. On a stock Lenco, there is an external lever that allows you to select 16, 33, 45m... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dev, As I wrote, I used the Walker because (1) the exact final speed adjustment using only the Lenco idler wheel requires a bit of fiddling. (For example, you have to remove the platter to loosen the adjustment screws, the way I have rebuilt mine,... | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Stuff I thought I "knew" (like certain principles of modern tonearm design) is constantly being debunked, so finally nothing surprises me. After all, the RS-A1 tonearm sounds great, and it breaks every single rule anyone else ever posited. | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Dear Mike, Thanks for the URL. It is striking to me the degree to which the Telos is a "throwback" design. I note that it uses a string and weight for anti-skate and that the counter-weight is pretty far back from the pivot point, so it does not m... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Here is a link: Go back up the thread two or three posts of mine, and you will find it. Anyway, there is no need, because I just summed up the story. The oddity is that he claims to be unable to sing a single note but to have a perfect sense of pi... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Ummm..., Dev, I think you took what I wrote and ran away with it. You can't have it both ways; either a turntable is given to you with the possibility to adjust its speed and therefore correct for any inaccuracy, or not. In the latter case, the tu... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Dev, Your question was: "don't you think it's strange that a well known source who is selling these replied by saying they are close and not as you did saying it can be set to be spot on?" To that, my answer has to be "yes, I think it is stra... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Rich, Yes, RM designed the Beveridge amplifiers way back when he was a youth. | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Thanks, Marakanetz. The Violektric phono stage looks pretty cool. There is some possible ambiguity in the product description, but it does seem to be truly a balanced circuit. Other true balanced phono stages include Atma-sphere MP1 and MP3, Ayre ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Mab, L07D is not in service at this time. I am re-wiring the tonearm. | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Marakanetz, You wrote, "Balanced isn't only 3-pin. It could also be 5-pin stereo-balanced. If the phonostage is fully balanced(recall Violectrik), you can rewire tonearm for 5-pin stereo-balanced transmission." Actually, you would not have to do a... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Henry, I've done it both ways with the Lenco and Mk3. The DP80 has no cartridge mounted at the moment, so could not do it with "stylus drag" factor. Likewise, I don't have 3 tonearms on any one tt, so could not repeat that show either. If the tt i... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Sarcher, What is the evidence that the hum is (or was) due to the motor/cartridge interaction?Banquo, I have some knowledge but not much skill when it comes to the electronics of either a motor controller (for BD) or a drive system for a DD tt. If... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Uru, I am not the font of all knowledge on this subject, hardly. But what you suggest does seem logical; the speed of a tt may deliberately be set to slightly fast with no load, so that it then achieves perfect speed with the load of stylus d... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dev, The Lenco is pretty near infinitely adjustable, as the idler wheel is driven by a tapered shaft that is an extension of the rotor of the motor. So, if the Lenco was off, it simply needed to be adjusted by moving the idler wheel with respect t... |
