| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Daniel, What an suprise. I thought that you are 100%Kantian. Ie ready to die for the 'absolute truth'. What iswrong with the gravity? Some problems with your TT design?We all, I think, have some peculiar problems with what youcall a 'cruel mi... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Oh my, oh my. I 'see' Lew for my 'mental eye' shouting:'I knew I was right with my galleons!'But my position is different. I at last 'grasped' what the religion is about. But if anybody is free to choose his own religion and evenhis political pref... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris, "I rest my case as Nikola would say''? I 'would' if I was able to to understand the connection between the 'mathematical symplicity' of the tonearm geometry and the actual state of affare in adjusting the damn thing(s). So I started a ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, We are used to talk about 'relationship'in binary constructions: 'one side versus the other'; 'subjective versus objective',etc. Frege put it this way: 'concept is an function with one argument, the relation are functions with two or mo... | |
| Tonearm Geometry and Setup I am of course not (pre)supposed to answer my own question but considering Stanwals comment I need to put my question more clearly. The context is this: 'we', or at least I, got the impression that I can choose the 'zero points' depending on which... | |
| Are there any advantages to mc over mm? The most important difference is of course the price. Themost intricate question : why are some buying > $ 8K MCcarts while they can buy MM carts which are according tosome 'as good' for, say, $300? But then there are mechanical watches for $ 3... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lew, The math was alas my worst subject at schoolbut I thougt in terms of 'variables' and 'constants'in this context. I know that the term 'variable' has no sense in the math (thanks to Frege)but we are used, so to speak,to use those terms. W... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Daniel, I don't like to use the 'Greek way out': knowledge beginns by knowing to not know. My point is much more simpler. If you know that you are ignorant about something you should ask questions and not bother about your own 'knowledge stat... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Thanks for your eloquent explanation but considering the fact that many of us are not 'experts', we need , I quess, such a simple 'quidance' like the testrecords. From my experience I concluded that the MM carts are usualy better 'track... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Chris, According to Kessier& Pisha ( Tonarm Geometry andSetup; Audio,January 1980) some Japanese tonearms were notoptimaly designed .Ie in the sense of 'optimal geometry'.Dyna DV 505 : the offset angle is 21.500 while the optimal is 22.814;... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Brad, The machinist in casu is alas not my friend, so even just one lunch , not to mention the plural, is out of question. My 'luck' is that this guy is also interested in tonearms. However my armpod is made by myreal friend Vidmantas by the ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Brad, I certainly can comprehend the joy involved inmaking something on your own. But because of this division of labour we are not equal.The 'wish' or 'desire' don't imply any capability a priori or in advance. I myself am very glad to know ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Travbrow, It is obvious that MM carts will trackbetter than MC carts because of the different compliance.Regarding the 'better' qualification or expression I mean: on the testrecords. But the question should be what is adequate for our record... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Travbrow, I also own and use the Image HI-FI test record. You have no idea how proud I was to get 90 microns without any 'buzzing' from the R.channel with my FR-64S and Ortofon MC 30 S(?). I needed well ,say, considerable amount of anti-skate... | |
