| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" @cerrot I try to get my turntable to get what I associate with digital - clean background - speed accuracy - fast deep bass. I got a warm valve output CD player that’s fun.@audiodesign I agree to an extent with what you say - despite that to me an... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" @madavid0 got it spot on with the first post he did as did @millercarbon this is regrettably a vacuous snake oil set of reasons and has no basis at all. Digital is actually wide bandwidth so where they got compression from I do not know. The truth... | |
| Turntable? Arm or cartridge? Banter - roflIsn't that what most of what this forum is about?I must say personally I go in circles (if you don't mind the pun) I find it hard to make up my own mind on this.I think the traditional view is put most of the money in the TT then arm ... | |
| Turntable? Arm or cartridge? Lets say you have £10,000 and your split was £5000, £2500, £2500? | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? 15k - that's a very nice and juicy number to play with. Two of the greatest phono stages were made in thee 80's the Mares Connoisseur and the Vendetta SCP2A. I have a Vendetta for which I got new IC's on advice of the great designer. John Curl has... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? I strongly recommend that you source a trough from a rock 3. I happen to have a spare. I have kept it with a view of fitting it to my Sony TTS8000. The trough on the 3 was plastic and can therefore be cut. There's no reason one can't fit a trough ... | |
| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration Klimo Viv - very warm | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? I find audiophile discussions hilariously boils down to this.Many talk about bloom, je ne cais quoi, inexplicable. Thee science has not caught up to explain what i can hear so science must be wrong. The mathematician once said that his maths were ... | |

| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas Max Townshend told me he will give a link to the 'White Paper' but for now have a look at this link:https://patents.justia.com/patent/4277070 | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? I must say that 10,000cst had a massive effect | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @kps25c the viscosity you quote is very heavy - I do have some so I shall give it a whirl | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I must say that I don’t think I understand fluids and thermodynamics like professor Jack Dinsdale who was responsible for the trough - and viscosity... but I will fiddle - it is a hobby at the end of the day | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas BTW I used 10,000 CST - I did various tests and I think this is similar to what Max uses - that said he is understandably guarded about the viscosity he uses/sells and even if I knew the exact viscosity he uses i won't share it out of... |
