| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? what i said was that the ’active’ part of the resonance attenuation is most effective under 200hz. there is still passive attenuation going on. purely passive isolation platforms ’in general’ work differently.try as they might....passive platforms... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? What about people like mikelavigne who say they can hear a difference when they turn the isolation platforms off? i welcome skepticism.just to let you know, last Thursday i had visitors to my room who asked me if they could turn those Tana active... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? i would not begin to talk tech with Geoff. :-)horses for courses. solutions are scaled to the target situation. not sure electron microscope targeted tools (the intended scientific use for these active devices) is appropriate for the uses Geoff re... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? mikelavigne, you ever listen to JC-1’s in your system? Maybe just a slightly better value many of us can afford. i’ve met John Curl a few times, and had his CTC Blowtorch preamp design in my room for a few days once when my friend, the dear depar... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? what is the effect on the music?generally; properly implemented, what a single active device will do is to bring a level of calm and naturalness to the music. it will allow moments of musical stress and energy to be more finely sorted out, to flow... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? ok; i started a separate thread on active isolation; with a few basics and some reference to it's use in my system. happy to get as deep as you want on the subject there. and hopefully allow specific turntable related things to continue here unaba... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? so what am i doing in my system with active isolation?i’ve had stock Herzan active TS units in my system since 2013. i first tried one in 2002 in my old room and it was in the back of my mind since i heard what they could do then. in 2013 i found ... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? i'm happy to talk more about my system (or my experiences) on a separate thread or my system thread. or not. but not here. with all due respect. and i'm happy to continue our dialog if you want to. | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? That’s also true of most of us here, isn’t it? i suppose it depends on your definition of ’here’.on an analog oriented thread like this one, i’d say most have, or prefer, tubes or a tube like presentation. otherwise in general maybe a bit differe... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? ok, since we are in a free fall anyway here we go......back in the day (in spring 2001) i had borrowed Atma-Sphere MA2 Mk (something or other, i’m sure Ralph will jump in to clarify). had them in my system for a couple of weeks, and was about to o... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Mikelevigne, I am truly jealous. I which I had as much money as you have to spend on Hi Fi equipment. hard to know how to react to that. might be a compliment, or something else. i would only say that it’s taken me many years to assemble my syste... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? I never understood this position. especially if you take it out of context. and then twist it around.this is a forum for listeners. my whole point, not the 5-10 percent you lifted, was that we have to listen to what these turntables do without pr... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? ignore the technology and measurements.i did......or i do every day.i purchased the Saskia idler to place next to my Wave Kinetics NVS direct drive. both toward to top of the heap for their types. i think my system allows each to flourish. maybe n... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Non-feedback motor controlIn LFT 1, the rotation control is not performed, and the constant speed rotation is left to the high moment of inertia of the 27 kg platter, creating a rotation free from unnecessary vibration caused by the control.... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Ralph, i was not the 'Mike' asking you that question. i already knew you had a lathe and mastered Lp's. |
