| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Many thanks Sunnyboy... :) :)Had a superb extended vinyl session on Friday and attended "Record Store Day" yesterday.:D | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Dear Pani,Regarding your experiences with timing errors and PRat? There is another, less obvious, explanation.If one loudspeaker displays a few db channel imbalance allied to frequency irregularities, e.g. due to the speaker-room relationship, i... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Dear Syntax,Are you suggesting then that Timeline is more successful with DD than BD?If so doesnt surprise me.If I recall the interviews correctly, TWs original design brief was to make a BD almost as accurate as DD?Im not sure if he was prop... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Speaking as a Raven One user, I do not feel the Brinkmann is any less well made. Indeed, Ive often admired the manufacturing quality of their product and tend to see them as a reference for good manufacturing.One of the items that has emerged fro... | |
| Thump noise on the lead in on warped LPs Dear Davey,Your comment about rising temperatures could be significant.Each 5 degree C temperature change could be equivalent to 1mm of VTA. This is how much you should be looking to compensate for once it swings away from the ideal 21-22C.If I'm ... | |
| Thump noise on the lead in on warped LPs Hello Davey...I agree the likeliest explanation is the cart could be "bottoming" on the warp.Also agree tapered SMEs and warps do not mix well.If you are using a technodec then chances are you are using a Technoarm(?) I'm not sure these come with ... | |
| Question for TW Acustic Owners As TdAudio says, this 12 month thing sounds more precautionary than anything else.If you are using the T/T regularly then the oil will be directed to the top of the bearing in which case I don't see the need for constant re-lubing?I'd be more conc... | |
| VTA for Lyra Delos Dear Daniele,Speaking as a fellow Delos user, my experiences are similar to Actus's.I found that the closer the ambient temp got to 22 C the closer the ideal VTA gets to "horizontal". This indicates that Yoshinori has done a fine job of setting up... | |
| Zero Antiskate vs Stylus Wear Dear Raul,I cannot agree more.Like you say, perfection can only ever be a theoretical one. Adjusting factors e.g. on a per record basis would be soul destroying because one factor offsets others – which in turn would require correction. Such level... | |
| Zero Antiskate vs Stylus Wear Dear Actus,Many thanks for kick-starting the thread. I had indeed given up on it a while back :^)Yes, the VPIs are among those odd cases where the cord is temptingly placed for manipulation.I suppose to verify that there was no interference from i... | |
| Zero Antiskate vs Stylus Wear Dear Raul,Thank you for your kind remarks.I agree that based on long term studies like this there is a fundamental cause-and-effect which cannot be ignored and unilateral stylus wear is not an option.I think for this analysis they must have been u... | |
| James Blake tracking problem. Is it happening all the time or just where it rides the warps?I could easily be wrong but recommend breaking out the HFN/RR test disc and check the H & V resonance tests.I've known normally stable carts to react badly to "pinchwarps" on some d... | |
| $$$ vs music enjoyment It's possible the musicians are too busy making music to listen? | |
| VTF measurments with a unipivot Hi Actus,Realising that I'm possibly highlighting my lack of advanced mechanical knowledge, could you try the following experiment?Assuming the bearing is as frictionless as possible :- Balance the arm- Tilt the arm upwards by a couple of degrees ... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Cleaner Share Unfortunately I'm not in your neighbourhood (UK actually) OS but this is a great idea. :)I proposed this to a couple of hifi loving colleagues last Summer and received about the same level of enthusiasm as you got here :(Just a shame I don't live ... |
