| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Having the center of mass of the counter-wt in the plane of the LP is said to result in less variation of VTF as the tonearm traverses a warp, or, I suppose, the normal vertical undulations imparted via the groove modulations. (But those vertical ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hiho, FWIW, I use a 2nd generation PTP. As you know, it has provision for sliding the idler wheel without removing the platter; one is supposed to leave the two bolts under the platter slightly loose and tighten down only the one that is visible a... | |
| Cartridge Experts Size doesn't matter, I hope. | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Thanks, Joel. I did not mean for my remark to constitute a criticism of the design. Rather, I meant to imply that sometimes the "rules" of tonearm design are better off when broken, intelligently. | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? "My system is at the point where the limitations of a 9.5" arm are noticable."Especially given that the Talea is actually 10.5 inches long, what does that statement mean? | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Manitunc, I am attracted to the 714 (assuming that's the wood version), but now the prices have gotten so that I would need to be very sure about it before making a purchase. (There's one now on eBay for >$1000.) Do you own one, and more import... | |
| 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 ... |
