| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? By the way, I also owned the Verdier previously (before deciding go direct and idler drive route). I agree that Verdier is more extended and more resolving than many of the DD and ID turntables. But I ultimately felt it is not keeping up with the ... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? I havent heard your TTs yet Thom. Would love to hear it some day. | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? Thom and Lewm, when I brought out the high mass vs low mass platter thing, the idea was not say one was superior over the other. Rather I wanted to point out that while high mass is a "workaround" for the torque generation in belt drive systems ul... | |
| How many will listen to tape and vinyl in the next century? And thats the worry, the shortage of good LPs. | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? There is also a price to pay when the platter is massive. Light weight platters have been preferred by any "well-designed" TT designers for the same reason. I am yet to hear any belt drive turntable sound like a direct or Idler drive in resolving ... | |

| Bi-amping Rules In the case of passive biamping, i.e., biamping without an electronic crossover "ahead" of the power amps, it is of course correct that what has to be matched in some manner is the gain of the two amps (gain being the ratio of an amplifier’s outpu... | |
| What makes an amp sound more direct ? Just to make this discussion more "direct", the fact that I posted it on amp/preamp forum indicates that I wanted to discuss this aspect from the amplification perspective. No, not all amps can be made to sound direct. Thats not my experience at a... | |
| What makes an amp sound more direct ? apparently you've never heard a good OTLThat would be incorrect because most solid state amps are OTL. I also owned the Tenor 75 OTL. | |
| What makes an amp sound more direct ? unsound, I am talking about directness of a system. If you have listened to some horn speakers you will relate to it. They may not sound forward but horn speaker have a way to convey the music in a very focussed way. That aspect also happens in th... | |
| What makes an amp sound more direct ? jmcgrogan2, it is not exactly a soundstage phenomenon per se. Immediacy...yes. Direct sound is a bit self-explanatory already, the way the sound is directed to the listener. The listener actually feels a touchy-feely with the instruments in the ro... | |
