| Anyone Using A Logic Turntable? Hi,I bought one not too long ago for its tonearm. I never tried it, but I thought I would take it apart for you guys. :)Anyway, it is interesting in that the suspension consists of six springs horizontally mounted in pairs linked by a grommet in t... | |

| Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm I agree with all of the above. That said, a vintage XLM MKII Improved ADC cartridge is a good match provided you can find one that doesn't ride too low. | |
| Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm Every Black Widow tonearm I have ever seen is high compliance, not low compliance. I have never heard of one that is moving coil friendly. | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Mark,I believe Lew figured out (on). Now, he has the only Lenco that truly works only on demand. ;)Thanks for saying what I meant regarding hydrodynamic drag. What I was eluding to is the constant war of trendy vs. innovative. It is easy to write ... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Lew,Maybe I spoke out of school because I believe I am the one who may have confused the issue. Unlike either Clearaudio or Verdier, my turntable uses an eddy current motor. At least, I believe neither of them uses one. Anyway, I also am a believe... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? "This is in COMPETE contradiction to the 'Platine Verdier' tt which on purpose applies a constant bearing friction-load to stabilise their high-mass platter." By my way of thinking, the Verdier approach is far more elegant. The bearing friction lo... | |
| Dual Turntables Hi,The best way to find out is to buy a bunch of them, and take them apart. I did exactly that on my journey to becoming a manufacturer, and it is my honest opinion that the 1019 is the pick of the litter. I didn't buy every one of the different m... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? "Similarly if a manufacturer sends me several samples of a high cost three phase motor and says "do your best then bill me" the results can be pretty good."I resemble that remark. Yuk. Yuk. ;)I do have a habit of sending motors to Mark, and leavin... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Back on track...The discussion so far has been about torque, but in my opinion the most critical component of a turntable may be the platter. With all three types, belt driven, idler driven and direct drive, the platter can be the make-or-break pi... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? While we are getting offtrack...Mine comes in memory of Colonel Sergei Ivanovich Mosin. He had a fascination of mechanical things enough that the rifle bearing his name has survived from 1891 til this day in one form or another. I respect him beca... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Albert,I may get into trouble here, but I am increasingly convinced that the micro-dynamics of analog playback, in particular, hinge partly on things we have yet to measure. I thought I had built a great turntable, but somehow I inadvertently impr... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Albert,Mark makes the controller for my Saskia idler drive, and I can say firsthand that he looks at things from a critically analytical viewpoint. That said, he owns idlers including the Garrard 301, Commonwealth and others, and he can fix the sp... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? The primary hurdle to jump with belt driven turntables is their inherent belt creep. It is best described here...http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=vinyl&n=694178&highlight=belt+creep&r= | |
| Silver solder--what wattage soldering iron? One thing to note is that with silver you have a chance of making the connection brittle. Take care to not overheat the joint. |
