| Best of RMAF 2008 Drubin,Thanks for mentioning our room. I'm glad you liked it, and it was really nice meeting so many of you AudiogoN guys. We were somewhat apprehensive about the size of the room, but it worked out fine. I suppose all any manufacturer can do is t... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. It was great being there, and a first for me. Our room sounded as well as we expected, but the best thing of all was being able to put AudiogoN names to faces.Meanwhile, I am soooo tired.Win | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Of course, Tektron is the proper way to spell the name of the amps. (It's been a long day.) | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. "Mosin,Room 464 is? Are you showing? If so, what is going to be in the room?"Dre,I will be there with my turntable, Saskia. It will have the Schroeder Reference tonearm, so Frank will be in and out. Also, Johnathan Weiss will have his speakers the... | |

| Opinions on Glass Shelves Take a look at slate. I believe it to be the ultimate constrained layer material. Sound travels though it slowly, and is actually changed along the way. The downside is its weight, but the payoff is excellent.Glass reflects sound, and sound travel... | |
| Belt stretch "Doug, that is exactly my point. If the tt is properly set up and all youve done is change the belt and it strobes the same as the belt you had on before mabey your not hearing speed variation mabey what your hearing has something to do with coupl... | |
| Belt stretch Again...You aren't hearing from other skeptics because your argument is with pure science, not conjecture. Belt creep is a matter of sheer physics; it isn't a theory. That said, there are some very ingenious workarounds for the problem. Frank Schr... | |
| Belt stretch Hi again,If you are trying to gather a result from two samples of different drive types, that may be your first error because the simple fact that they are different drive types cannot possibly be used as a standard for any sort of test to measure... | |
| Ultimate Idler Drive Robin,Thanks for your comments here. It means a lot to me for someone who isn't connected to the project, but who has actually heard the turntable at length to speak of Saskia in such a positive way. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to build... | |
| Belt stretch Hello,Well, I disagree, but I am certainly not alone. Here's a quote from another post, but others can also be found that offer empirical data contrary to any notion that belts do not stretch, or to the concept that they by default drive perfectly... | |
| STAX UA-7CF Tonearm, worth buying or no? Hi,The Stax UA7-CF has surprisingly high effective mass for a carbon fiber type. It is sixteen grams, which enables it to be used with many of the heavier modern moving coils. As I understand it, the CF model was produced only in response to compl... | |
| ZYX too light for my Shroeder arm. Help Hi,Maybe Frank will provide a heavier mounting plate for it? | |
| Soundsmith "The Voice"? William,I really don't know the answer to the question, except to say that Peter Lederman has personally seen the tonearm on my turntable, and he responded accordingly. I wish I knew more, but right now, I don't. The reason I don't is because the ... | |
| Soundsmith "The Voice"? err...It is a very, very nice cartridge. |
