turntable motor speed
Ok, so what does the feedback regulation do to the motor to change its speed. Does it change the voltage, and if so, how? more for faster? I mean, its fine to say that a circuit regulates the motor, but my question is how does it do that. The moto... 
What are the $5000 options
Im in Jupiter Florida, so if it on your way to Miami, you can give a listen to the Fat Bob 
What are the $5000 options
its not crazy if you can get a good deal on what you want. 
What are the $5000 options
I just got a Transrotor Fat Bob. Im favorably impressed, and it will accept two tonearm mounts. Could be in your price range, especially used. There arent a lot of turntables that accept two arms. 
Budget Turntable For Low Output Moving Coil ???
the Nemark should not be considered as a turntable for anything other than getting your vinyl on your computer through the USB port. Putting that cart on a Newmark throug a jolida is like putting lipstick on a pig. Its still a pig 
Choose between Simon Yorke S9 or transroto Zet1
I have a Transrotor Fat Bob and am quite pleased with it. The Zeta 1 you mention does not use the magnetic bearing however, and I wonder whether it could achieve the same level of quietness as the Fat Bob. Looks cool though. 
Considering analog...but nervous
The only time cd's are played in my home is if the kids are there and no one else is. Otherwise its vinyl 95% or ipod/computer 5%. I can get off my fat ass every 20 minutes or so to flip an album and attention deficit disorder hasnt caused me to s... 
I NEED YOUR HELP with a turntable purchase
I havent had a problem with fluctuating speed on either my Oracle, Sota or VPI. The Sota especially is rock solid once it starts turning and settles down after about 3 seconds. So sure, when you first put the record on, and clamp it, the platter m...

Depends on the sound you are looking for. I would purchase the Oracle Delphi Mk VI as mentioned above if I wanted the most beautiful music to be heard.I also agree with the Sota Cosmos recommendation for a no-frills, do it all excellent turntable ... 
Stand out phono stages
Goatwuss,When you compared the Basis and PS Audio GCPH, did you run the same loading on the cartidge for both preamps? I know the GCPH has a number of loading options, and the sound can change dramatically depending on the cartridge. What loading ...

How can anyone afford this ?
The goal of capitalism isnt the success of the individual above all else. There is no goal per se. The principal simply states that if left alone, the markets will eventually correct themselves, and the true value of an item will be known through ... 
How can anyone afford this ?
Certainly, I wouldnt suggest anyone should go into debt to finance a hobby. That's a sure way to stop enjoying it. I also find that I am beginning to care more for the aesthetics and functionality of what I buy than I did in the past. I have alway... 
td-01 chinese tonearm?
Someone has too much time on their hands. Some nice woodcarving work on those russian arms, but how could they possibly work with a cartridge swinging from a string? 
td-01 chinese tonearm?
I would think that there must be something holding the arm in place in the cup other than the ball floating in the oil pool. I would think it was either sitting in the bottom, held by the weight of the arm or the string would go right through, whi...
