| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong and @pindac thanks for recommendations for platform | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine as i now see it - with the la platine on its own feet, the movement of the la platine platter (wobbles) was exciting the suspension via contact between platter and spindle. this in turn was leading to a noisy motor as it was receiving forces of u... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine "floating on air" refers to being no touch on the bearing. so i have removed the ball bearing and i have withdrawn the spindle such that i am now truly using the platine as i believe it was intended to be used. it might sound odd that it has tak... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine BIG IMPROVEMENT yesterday someone on What's Best indicated la platine and Kuzma Safir was a bad combo because of the moving feet on la platine and safir's need for stable level platform. they said one needed to use rigid feet but the downside o... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 this is something! what difference do you find with this new motor? any improvement or same? i must admit i have been endlessly mucking about with rubber/linen/silk/suture silk threads. the knot in the linen is a disaster. i need ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine oh boy! i had thought to buy one of those controllers as they recommend in that callas paper. sorry to hear. a real pain for you. do you replace it yourself or get someone to do it? re: holland/china magnets, what i meant to say simply was th... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine unforgivable sin of consecutive posts but: 1. i heard original magnets were from focal (speaker people) as used in some big famous speaker driver they had at the time. 2. in speaking to china magnet people they offered different kinds of magnet.... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine the following won't make an argument for plug n play but last night: 1. i pulled everything apart and carefully made the magnets symmetrical in their housing. used blue tac to try and make sure they would stay in place when i reassembled (just b... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 thanks for sharing this. brilliant. i have been in email contact with Heinz. $15k USD for the non-granito, $18K for the granito. Not terrible I guess. be interesting to see how people respond to it. First I'd ever heard of this Z... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @charob i would feel terrible if all of this forum talk has put you off. as @ledoux1238 says, it is very plug and play. all the fiddling is just for people who want to fiddle. i bought the 5L of Rocol and will send you some for free if you buy ... | |
| Tannoy or Volti i use a 211 amp with the 4367 from jbl. i have previously used Audio Note AN-E HE Spe, JBL 4344, Altec 604g, JBL 4349. I listen to rock and pop. Not jazz or orchestral music most of the time. with 4367 I don't find any "horn" nastiness. Zero.... | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers hi great choice in the 4367. i have used my 4367 speakers with Gryphon Diablo and then my Audio Note SET amp (211). the only reason i bought the 2nd hand diablo was because i had always wanted to own one and i wanted to know if my preferred amp... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine oh yes: - figure 8. that way i guess u get the double but don’t have to make 2 exactly the same length silk belts which i think i would fail. also only one knot! i am using sewing thread made from silk. i have ordered surgical silk thread whi... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine also dover had the same thoughts although he identified "surgical" silk and said if loose it could be "chalked" (presumably to give grip). i have the motor partially under the turntable now and a double loop of silk thread and it is driving! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 this is good. If we hear the same things then I think that is very reassuring. Because frankly with so many variables on the la platine, and it being quite sensitive to these variables, one could easily trick oneself. It’s perhaps tedi... |
