| How to deal with a 1.0mV LOMC or is it HOMC It's HOMC (reverse those 2 digits for a low output MC) e.g. 0.11mV or 110 microvolts. | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Peter Breuninger states that he "would put this combo up against anything currently available" (scroll to 6 mins 50 secs on the readout).Looks good enough to be Italian too. :)It contravenes a lot of currently "fashionable" logic e.g. not putting ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? ....I should qualify the above statement, "never an effective way", that is unless you pour silicone damping fluid into your tonearm bearing as I do in which case you have a "mildly effective" option ;^) | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Glad no one took my last comment about T/T designers seriously ;^)I was joking of course. I actually have the highest respect for what they're trying to do. It's an unenviable task and by doing it they're only going to please some of the people so... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Turntable designers are incompetent. If only they could design something as efficient as this.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqAUmgE3WyM | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Dear Lew,You're misquoting me. I said resonate "differently" not "separately". A subtle distinction but a real one nevertheless.Do you disagree that tonearms resonate in the manner I described?I think you're taking an over-simplistic view of the d... | |
| "Thriller": A great demo disc! Audiolabyrinth :"This is funny, I’ve been saying thriller and Michael Jackson’s greatest hits volume 1 is excellent recording’s for high end audio for years here on audiogon!"Don’t see how a compilation album could get a recommendation for SQ sinc... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Dear Etone,"Ortofon jubilee set at 2.2 grams if I raise a/s higher than 2 won't track in silent part of test record..."I'm slightly puzzled by this comment. Is this test not intended to highlight bearing noise/rumble rather than mistracking?Can y... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? True Ralph. What you describe is an ideal situation but it is a fact that tonearms & plinths, even when locked rigidly together, resonate differently e.g. tonearms will have multiple resonant peaks which are not shared by the turntable which h... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Dear Pani,The answer to this one depends on who you speak to.The Cartridgeman, for example, swears by completely separate platforms i.e. motor/turntable/arm pillar for the air-bearing linear arm. For good measure he even decouples the Classic cart... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Dear Fleib,No worries.Yes, it’s interesting to get a general overview of how successful folk are at keeping VTF within reasonable limits. Most people tend to live at the top end of the spectrum. Sometimes this is because others recommend it or per... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Dear Fleib, Regarding your comment on channel imbalance, do you have a flame-proof suit? ;^) | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong DougDeacon wrote :"In a discussion of A/S settings, the forces generated by eccentrically drilled LPs are merely a non-sequitar, since no A/S device compensates for them. ;-) "Hardly non-sequitur, Doug! The context is that anti-skating force caus... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Lighten up Cleeds....I was giving Raul the benefit of the doubt.... ;^)Detachable headshells and interchangeable armwands....it could be done .... ;^) | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Cleeds said :"There are those that want to make LP playback a mystical, ethereal pursuit. But it’s really fairly basic physics and geometry."That is until you use your ears and find that the "basic physics & geometry" didn’t go according to pl... |
