| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Not to say that the cantilever material is not important, but isn't it unlikely to be important in terms of moving mass, since no matter what it is made of, it will constitute a very tiny fraction of the moving mass of any cartridge of any type? F... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, In reference to your remark above, last month I finally bit the bullet and bought a Parasound amplifier (after much research and hand-wringing) just to have music while I play with my "real" OTL tube amplifiers. The Parasound does an ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul, I am saying NOTHING, nada, about the Raven in any way, shape or form. The Raven is a belt-drive turntable with no formal "plinth" but does have a massive metal base to which tonearms and bearing are rigidly attached, and a massive platt... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Right on, Ralph! | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, In response to your consternation about my statement, I guess I should not have used the word "introduced". Better to say that with no plinth, some resonances are or might be left undamped that might more often than not be pleasing, t... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0157,Maybe some day I will find time to test the Denon without its plinth. Right now there are at least 3 major home audio projects that come first. I am a DIYer, and I have been extensively revising the circuits in my huge Atma-sphere mono... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven AC3 latest version vs older Dev, I am curious to learn whether you have had the 3 motors from the beginning or whether you worked your way up to 3 from one. There are many theoretical problems, or lets call them "issues" with 3 motors, and I wonder about your journey to get ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear DT, All I'm saying is can you direct us to such a diagram or help us understand how you would go about constructing it? One major force, for sure, is the torque of the motor, which is angular by the definition of "torque". And we all know tha... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System DT, Sometimes, I don't get it. Show us how to derive a force vector diagram for a turntable. Then we will believe. I think the crux of the matter is that there are subtle forces, apart from the obvious ones, that make a critical difference. And fo... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Puh-leeze. There is NO ad hoc argument that wins this debate. The Clearaudio Statement looks like an over-sized, over-priced turdball to me. But in any case, magnetically levitated platters in belt drive turntables are irrelevant to this discussio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, The ZYX was set up by a consummate professional, but I am prepared to believe what you say, because the low midrange response on down to low bass was that sorely lacking. However, I am able to rule out the amplifiers and speakers as c... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System and Steve Dobbins, whom I wish would comment more often.Tim, You are saying what I have said a couple of times over the past week or two. There is little doubt in my mind that a "bad" plinth can make things worse. This does not prove that a good p... | |
| 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. |
