TW Acustic Turntable Mat Hi Ebm....No offense, the AC mat recommendation was merely the view of my local TW supplier. ;)The "official" position seems to be Raven AC with mat, and R1 withOUT mat, although, in the beginning, I seem to remember the R1 was supplied with a Mil... | |
What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade ...Just noticed you are using a Lyra Kleos Gondo...This probably strengthens your argument for shelling out on a good tonearm.The Kleos inspires one or 2 varied opinions on this forum but knowing Jonathan Carr as we do, the Kleos wouldn't have bee... | |
What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade Hi Gondo,I can't help but empathise with what Stringreen says. Tonearms, unfortunately, are like everything else by being subject to the law of diminishing returns.For you I guess my opinion (and quite a few others here) is most relevant because I... | |
Lower mid compliance carts with Phantom tonearm BTW....The other cart wasn't a Lyra but an MMIII...and the Ittok was 11+g - apologies for the typo. (At least I managed an odd no >10g ;) | |
Lower mid compliance carts with Phantom tonearm Tz...that's an interesting one. TBH I don't remember actually using the HFN/RR Test Disc to check H&V resonance in Real Time but have had no issues whatsoever with any disc and I'm about halfway through the life of the cart. My last cartridge,... | |
TW Acustic Turntable Mat There is no comparison between missile design and a turntable. A missile's ultimate aim is to travel along certain vectors hit the target then explode. It's fairly easy to know whether you've failed or not. :)Neither is a missile sensitive to the ... | |
TW Acustic Turntable Mat Appearance wise, the Zanden bears an uncanny resemblance to the Achromat although the construction is slightly different. The Achromat is only about 50 quid as opposed to $500(BTW this isn't a plug for the Achromat because I loathe it. I've got a ... | |
Album which you have listened to most? Mapman, you have excellent taste in both music & loudspeakers! ;)Do you have the "approved" version of "The Snow Goose" featuring the late Spike Milligan BTW? Sounds sumptuous on vinyl. No one ever thought Spike could take a project that serio... | |

Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt Thanks Mosin but IÂm not dismissing any turntable. If users are happy with their Timeline compliant TT thatÂs great news.YouÂve indirectly summed up my feelings : Everyone should be happy with their TT choice because they chose it. (Timeline no... | |
Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt ÂSlow Death by Timeline .ÂIÂm not a turntable designer but taking servo controls out of context without considering that flywheels and rubber belts influence stability is, to my mind, misleading at best.To assess a design you need to look at th... | |
Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt Kiddman, there are no motors or turtables with absolute speed stability. Every motor is subject to "kick & coast" - the effects of which cannot be completely removed. It would be nice to think it could be engineered to be 100% non-cogging but ... | |
Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Useful info Whart - many thanks.We shall see, indeed :) | |
Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt The experience you describe goes beyond simple speed stability issues since most turntables of repute are within reasonable limits.Your controller switching speeds on a whim is a reliability issue and there have been quite a few cases discussed he... | |
