| Brinkmann Bardo DU, Does it really matter whether you have to wait 12 whole seconds for start-up? I suspect the Brinkmann is a bit sluggish because slotless coreless motors are inherently lower in torque for a given physical size than conventional motors; plus th... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Hiho, That stuff could have come directly from literature on the Kenwood L07D. The speed control works the same way, using "proportional regulation". There are an optional platter ring and central weight to add mass to the L07D platter. When those... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Dear Wjsamx, The Kenwood L07D slotless, coreless motor also uses assymetrical placement of the coils of wire that form the stator. In addition, the rotor (magnet) in the L07D motor is parallel to the horizontal plane of the platter, as in the Bard... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Two nights ago, I took my system "down". Everything was sounding lousy. I have a problem somewhere. Thankfully, I have the knowledge to find and cure the problem myself. The Azden did begin to sound great just before it and every other ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm sure the Nighthawk is an excellent phono stage, but I doubt that the difference between a 300R and a 500R load was responsible for what was apparently a less than ecstatic review of it. First, what Denon cartridge requires a 300R load? I know ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am not sure that anyone really answered Franklin's question. He wanted to know whether the Azden in its adapter would lose some of its magic (compared to the M20FL Super) if the end-user did not take some of the measures recommended by Raul and ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? One thing I think is true, Raul. When you do find your new dimension audio world, it will be YOUR world. Nirvana will be slightly different for each of us. Just think of the wide differences among the speakers and amplifiers we use, for starters. ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo The coreless motor with the magnets on the underside of the subplatter is very much like the design of the motor in the Kenwood L07D. The SP10 Mk3 also has its huge magnet structure fixed to the underside of the platter, though the stator is not c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There hasn't been a post here for a couple of days, which makes me wonder whether we have talked about and/or evaluated every possible worthwhile vintage MM or MI cartridge. Will there be no new revelations from here on out? I personally cannot th... | |
| Why three motors? As I understand it, you are better off with the motor pulley as close as possible to the platter, so the belt contacts as much as possible of the circumference of the platter, to minimize the phenomenon of "belt creep". I don't know why these and ... | |
| Why three motors? I am completely ignorant of the engineering principles that govern "poise, serenity, and composure". In particular, I am weak on the subject of serenity.Seriously, the tables in question are probably superb sounding. I mean to cast no aspersions. ... | |
| Why three motors? I have never listened to any of these 3-motor tables, but the configuration shown, where the belt contacts the platter on only one side of the "triangle" would seem to be a worst-case set-up for "belt creep", as first described (to me) by Mark Kel... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Best to use Dave' suggestion to solder one end of the adapter clip directly to the headshell wires in place of standard cartridge clips, then use the female end to mate with the smaller diameter Pmount cartridge pins. That way you have only one pr... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? No matter how well engineered it was in 1980, caps is caps. After 20 or more years, any electrolytic in any component should be changed out in favor of new. If the thing works without that service, fine, but there is a finite chance that it could ... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? No apologies necessary. My wife and son merely told me quietly that it was crazy to have 5 turntables (this was before I bought the latest L07D), and they've mercifully let it go at that. My SP10 Mk2A is running right next to my L07D. The Mk2A was... |
