| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier There is a development. I tried a nylon fishing line string instead of the silk thread and there has been a very significant improvement in pitch definition and timing and also in dynamics. Try it, it is cheap and super effective. Possibly it will... | |
| Ortofon 309 vs. SME 3012 for SPUs I did not mean SPU lacks resolution, I meant the SME is not a highly resolving tonearm. I have compared it to a Naim ARO and 47 Labs RS-A1 and both of them showed how much details the SME was lacking. | |
| Ortofon 309 vs. SME 3012 for SPUs I have not heard the Vintage Ortofon but the SME 3012 lacks resolution significantly. | |
| Cartridge for my system? Your wisdom is needed Try to find an Ortofon SL15e with its own little SUT. It beats the Dyna 17D3, most Ortofons upto $2k and any typical MC cartridge under 1.5K quite seriously. It is an old cartridge so you may need to hunt for it a little but it is there in plenty.... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Ct, I did try using a block of Ebony wood next to the TT feet, high enough just to raise it off the feet. It added a small dose agility to the sound but also took away a bit of the flow. Additionally the tonality of the wood also came through. I r... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Rugyboogie, thanks for your suggestions. I understand your view point and possibly I will do what it takes to make this guy sing the way I want. Some patience, some research and some funds are all that is required :) | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Hi Ct0157, the Miyabi is a good match for the ARO. It is a proven combo actually. The ARO sounds good with Lyra and Dynavectors also. Koetsu, I dont know.BTW, regarding the motor upgrade, Origin Live makes after market TT motors, possibly could be... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Hi Ct0517,I have not yet done the Teflon washer thing, I am not too handy with DIY and when I see wires running inside the motor housing I get nervous.I use a Naim ARO tonearm with Miyabi Red Rose (Standard) cartridge and RCM Sensor Prelude phonos... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Hi RugyBoogie,I have tried folding the tape into the V shape, I also tried pushing the tape all the way down where there is a flat surface to just about hold the tape width. I also got another brass capstan made which has a flat groove just to acc... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier I think it is not just the motor but also what is used to connect the motor to the platter plays a big role. A Mylar tape or reel to reel tape goes a long way in telling what exactly the silk thread is missing on. If any of you guys happen to try ... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Thanks for the info Topoxforddoc. I wonder why pay GBP 850 for a battery PSU, isnt it okay to just hook up a high amperage deep cycle battery that can be bought from a shop for about $150 and a charger for another $50 ?The question to answer is, i... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Maril555, I have tried contacting Galibier and Redpoint but never got a response from them. I dont know what the problem is. Here is another Verdier setup which uses flywheel and supposedly sounds amazing:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vo... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier My initial question remains kind of unanswered, is there a replacement motor and belt drive system for Verdier that I can look at ? | |
| Empire EDR9 users: Need advice The EDR9 is a nice MM cart. However I didnt have the right tonearm for it. My 47 Labs tonearm is too heavy for this cart. Next I plan to install a Naim ARO. Hope that will do better with EDR9.One thing I agree in general, there is a grace that MM ... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Ct0517, it is interesting that I have not yet tried any of the three options mentioned by Mr.Verdier. When I move into my own house, possibly the first thing I will do is to place the TT on a wall mount shelf. However, when Mr.Verdier talks about ... |
