| 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... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Peter's post harkens me back to a question I asked JTinn on the other thread: How does the NVS maintain correct speed? What I mean is, does it use servo feedback mechanism or some other strategy? I never got a response to that question, and the in... | |
| FR 64s comparison Ikeda. Dertonearm has done much work with the FR64S, and he provides his advice on set-up free of charge. There seems to be 100% consensus that the FR tonearms are superior at least a little bit to the Ikeda tonearms. So, why not just try the FR64S using... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There ARE things you can do with your clothes on, even at our age, that do transcend even the fun of MM (and don't forget MI) cartridges. You need a human partner, however.Wish I could post a photo of my Sound Lab 845PXs. You could look at that hu... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Albert,I guess I misunderstood your riddle. I thought you wanted to have an explanation for a theoretical condition where the laser beam appears to lengthen whilst remaining fixed in its location on the wall. My explanation would fit that con... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Sorry, I meant to address my remark in my last post to "Dev", not "Dover". |
