| Calling all Panzerholz Aficionados Why not try contacting the people at Clearaudio. They are quite helpful and approachable.I think it works best when sandwiched with aluminium plates. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Oxford University entrance exam question:1. If this is the question, then what is the answer?2. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?Or if you are torturing poor Dustin Hoffman:'Is it safe?'The Rockport Sirius 3 was direct drive, and is ... | |

| Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00 Hi Pani - Everything you say is very itneresting. I have an EMT 950 - but I am taking an age restoring it - the problem is that it aint like a Lenco or Garrard in that with those it is fairly easy to take apart put back together - the 950 requires... | |
| Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00 At 7500 you really have a great choice of decks available to you. Try out a load of decks. You have some very nice Lenco and Garrard variants and you wil lfind they have a superb drive and 'boogie factor'. Direct Drives are very good at being neut... | |
| Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00 You have a serious amount of world class tables out there. You can go for a Direct Drive Technics SP10 variant. You can go for a Lenco based Idler drive by Artisan, or indeed a Garrard 401/301. These are both fuss free combos. Yogiboy is right abo... | |

| High quality AC turntable motor Hi Lewm - sorry for my lousy phrasse 'angling the power' I understand that with a 24 pole synchronous motor they can be made with 4 coils. If 2 opposing coils are driven, and then the other ones which sit at 90degrees to the driven ones are also d... | |

| Original Elite Rock Turntable & Excalibur Tonearm the best thing to clean silicone oil off with is, unfortunately , brake cleaning fluid. You can also try isopropyl alcohol | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I put out a recent post having not noticed this thread. In any event this is the great question for me. When I ntalk of a system that is 'musical' I say it may well be warm, or particularly dynamic/leading edge - they are each a type of musical. T... | |
| Lyra Kleos or EMT TSD 15 for Rega P9 Check the cartridge compliance - i am sure the TSD 15 is lower compliance and is best suited to a heavier arm.I believe that there is a brass vta adjuster available for the rega arm it's had rave reviews by Absolute Sound Magazine no less.Out of i... | |
