| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Bjesien, I think it would be more revealing to look to see who has a 16-inch tonearm.The remark about cigars is credited to Freud himself, who was a devotee'.Dertonearm, I like what you said, that there really is no such thing as "no plinth". That... | |
| Arms w/ azimuth adjustment while record is playing I think the Talea is on a list by itself. With all due respect, the WT tonearms take a long time to stabilize after one has made an azimuth adjustment, and indeed can tend to change azimuth all by themselves as they traverse an LP, due to the inte... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Bjesien, Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.And a tonearm is just a tonearm. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul, For me digital is an alternative reserved for when I want to read a book or when we are having a party, and I want background music. However I freely admit that, though my cdp is quite tweaked, it is hardly state of the art. Besides that, su... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, I heard a ZYX UNIverse for the first time in my life the other day, in a system where I knew the speakers and amplifiers but not the tonearm and record player. However, both of the latter were present day state of the art quality. (I estim... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Thuchan. I think this hobby and the obsession with its crazy minutiae should be fun above all. The opinions can be intensely felt, however. The best part for me is the pleasure of getting to be in contact with interesting people (such as y... | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Dan_ed, Good point about the tonearms that can accommodate two counter-wts, but as Dave mentioned, the range of adjustment of effective mass afforded by that arrangement would seem to be quite limited.Mark, Despite the setback you described, do yo... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System DT, I was joking of course. This discourse was getting entirely too serious. For any one of us to elevate it to the level of the concepts brought forth by Copernicus or Galileo is ludicrous. Socrates, maybe.... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, your remark above to Thuchan re the SX8000 is in contradistinction to your original theory in all its specifics, as is the SX8000 itself. The SX8000 and the lesser M-S tts in its family, all use massively heavy plinths and an iron grip... | |

| Well Tempered Turntable Specifications You will not hear any rumble.The tables are dead silent and cleverly made. I am not crazy about the tonearms, but this is my personal preference. The WT to get these days appears to be the Amadeus. It has a bevy of fans here. Comes with yet anothe... | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Funny that only one pivoted tonearm I can think of actually has capacity to alter its effective mass, and that is the MA707 or the CF1 (or both) made by Micro Seiki. They used the simple device of a weight that slides fore and aft on the arm tube.... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Copernicus was a twit anyway. | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Hey Chuck. Are you THE Chuck, formerly of Northern Virginia, to whom I spoke at RMAF? The confounding reports of apparent tonearm/cartridge mismatches that sound great have me thinking about the quality of the data for compliance and tonearm effec... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thichan, It's those doubled-up smiley faces that follow your post that has me worried. Do you plan this for the "Tongue in Cheek" Forum? |
