| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lew, Glad to have you on board because you was at first very skeptical about this arm pod undertaking. Butyou also provided the info about the obtainable meterials,brass cylinders included. The further development is obvious:a. the direction ... | |
| Infinity Renaissance 90 questions 'natural filter', my next Infinity was the Sigma while myson got the Renaissance. The tweeter of Sigma was coveredwith a peace of felt (the stuff for hats) with a small cutin the middle. I made a 'copy' of this filter for my son and fastened the t... | |
| Infinity Renaissance 90 questions Hi, I owned the R.90 and am sure that black ash version wasmore expensive. Regarding the X-over I would only subsituteelectrolitic caps. Ie when you eventualy want to sell themyou will never get the money spend on exotic parts back.Regards, | |
| Near Field listening Hi, not exactly monitors but I can recommend Audio PhysicVirgo II or the Caldera. Both are made for the near fieldlistening. If you live in Europe check ebay.de ; the pricesare ubelievable (+/-1400E VirgoII; +/-4000E Caldera).Regards, | |
| Why three motors? Dear Mosin (06-07-10), 'it has accured to me that a singlemotor with two equidistant pullys might be an improvement over traditional schemes'. Well P. Lurne made exactly suchan arrangement by his Audiomeca J1 and J4. I owned the J1.The strange thi... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lew, you are very difficult to satisfy or please. Eventhe 'soft activity' is refused on theoretical grounds alone despite this saying about the pudding. Only the argument is changed from 'galleons' to a movement in concert with the platter. A... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, Thanks for the lecture reg. 'structure-and air born(sound) transmission'. This is done in the context of the arm pod formulation but, cause of the generality, must also apply to the TT's. We can see, so to speak, twoopposite approches... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, I know that you are a very 'smart cookie' butclairvoyant? Well as you presupposed I was able to find acraftsman with an CNC lathe in Holland and I really enjoyto look how he works with this 'monster'. However Thuchanis a different 'co... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, I am truly glad to hear this;we are cool now.But your arm pod remind me somehow about Picasso. 'Look',he said to a friend, 'how easy drawing is'. He then draw with a single stroke a pigeon. 'Anyone should be able to do this'. He added... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Geoch, 'life is to short' but it is never to late to learn. So as soon as I get my engeneering degree I willrespond to the 'demping question'. Meanwhile you can directyour inquisitive mind to Vidmantas and ask any question about cork you like... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Banquo, In the first place I got the meaning of 'theplate' that Ct0517 is talking about. He means 'the rack' onwhich the TT sits. Well on my rack there is a sand filledSHELF on which my Kuzma Stabi reference and my arm pod sit.The sand in the... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0517, The problem by an description is the fact thatwe are not able to 'visualize' the construction. What is: 'the key is getting your tonearm base on the plate?' Assuming an arm pod next to the TT what kind of plate youare talking about? I... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Banquo, A local machinist with an CNC lathe would be ideal. In particular for the tonearms with a collar becausesuch an armpod need to be milled from,say, solid brass. Iea 'sandwich' arm pod with different layers is more difficult to make. Fo... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Thuchan, I was confused with the TAD drivers because they all looked to me as HF drivers but the result is evenestheticaly fantastic. I hope that the Bavarian Voice soundas they look. BTW you must be slender as well as supple toget 'around' a... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0517, I agree in general about the 'extravagant prices' in analog domain but disagree that manufacturers are the primary cause. Those from abroad hardly get 30% ofthe selling price. First there is the import duty +VAT,thenthe importeur and ... |
