| Turntable speed accuracy I vote a moratorium on these endless circular arguments over the merits and demerits of this or that drive mechanism. Lets just see how various ones of them work according to Timeline. But in general, a good direct-drive motor WiLL have more torqu... | |
| Sirius and Walker Dear Unoear, I have no dog in this fight, but do I correctly understand the following?(1) You went to Mike's home and listened to the Sirius prior to purchase.(2) You evidently liked what you heard, because you then bought it from Mike.(3) You wer... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Actually, since the Timeline is sitting on the spindle, and cannot fit completely over the spindle on a Lenco, which has a "fat"spindle, slippage of the LP would have no direct effect on the Timeline, in my particular report above. The Timeline is... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I've got the Timeline in house.On the Lenco, with AC supplied through the Walker Motor Controller, speed set by the KAB with an LP in play, and listening tests suggesting that rhythm and pitch are like real life, the Timeline says my Lenco is a to... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Tony,You wrote, "the laser mark should drift slowly in one direction over the 30 minutes. That is the cumulative error" Yes and no. Yes, the drift of the Timeline laser over time is the cumulative error, but no (IMO), the laser may not drift ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Should have read Tony's post before writing the above post. I think the amount of error and the type of error Tony describes should be perfectly acceptable. It is a linear error; in other words it would be the result of the platter spinning a teen... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Sksos1. In a word, no. I do not own a TT Weights turntable. I own a tweaked Lenco in a slate plinth, a Denon DP80 in a slate plinth, a Technics SP10 Mk3 in a slate and wood plinth, and a Kenwood L07D. I should sell two of them, but I cannot pick w... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Salectric, I think the lift per se is a damped piston-type device. Perhaps your grub screw, that fixes the height of the lift in relation to the arm tube, which is becoming loose. I've never messed with mine in nearly 20 years, and no problems. | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! Low end Koetsu, e.g., Koetsu Black Goldline (or whatever they call it these days), if your phono stage has sufficient gain. For what you want, the epitome is Koetsu. | |
| Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables? I owned a Glider for several years and later experience has taught me it was nothing special. I also owned the predecessor to the Sumiko Blackbird, the Blue Point Special... feh. In general, I have come to prefer MM or MI cartridges to high output... | |
| MoFi So Long So Wrong Perhaps this discussion should be limited to one LP, but I just bought the Mo-Fi re-issue of "Only the Lonely" (Frank Sinatra). As I listened to it, I was thinking that I have a life-long experience with this album, and I can sing every ballad on ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I am going to borrow the Timeline tomorrow.But not all my turntables are in service, so it will take a while to arrive at a full report. | |
| TriPlanar Tips I think what happened with this thread was that Doug fell in love with the Talea, understandably, and he was the driving force here. Plus, there are only so many accoutrements that one can remove from the Triplanar before one is left with a bag of... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Art Dudley has never really changed. However, he is recently in love with Garrard and Thorens and out of love with Linn LP12. (In_shore, "Linn Ittok" is a tonearm. The turntable is "LP12".) But as recently as last year, Art Dudley scoffed at all d... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Raul, I did not mean to imply that I KNOW that the Timeline is miscalibrated. I was just musing after Timeltel's correction of Catastrofe's calculation that in truth the time for one revolution, if the speed is 33.333.... would be slightly mo... |
