| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Tbg, That is interesting that you replaced the Halcyonics with the StillPoints. Before doing so, did you try the StillPoints between the turntable and the Halcyonics? Could you please describe how the sound changed?I met the designer of the StillP... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Dgad, There are two other things that could account for the improvement to the already good isolation of the O rings on the SME. First, the table is sitting on a different surface now. I tried it briefly on the wood top shelf of my DIY rack. Not i... | |
| Magico Comparison Teeshot, just ignore the posts that have nothing to do with your original topic, or move the discussion over to Whatsbestforum. That is a generally more serious, less contentious forum.I happen to think that your original question is pretty intere... | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? I have a suspended turntable and recently bought a self-leveling Vibraplane to place underneath it. The improvement was clear. I then ordered a custom steel ballast plate which weights 136lbs. This is large enough to also place my motor controller... | |
| Magico Comparison Mariv26, Well written and I fully agree. Though, there are a few other speaker companies that are also doing some R&D. Magico happens to be doing a lot of it and look at how many small, serious, and high performance stand-mounted speakers have... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Heradot, I doubt that any of the 260 lb Vibraplanes are sliding away with the addition of a record on the platter. My point is that because the Vibraplanes (and other air suspension systems) need a compressor to remain inflated in the long term me... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic My concern with motor on one air isolation platform and the turntable on another and perhaps a flywheel on a third is that one air platform may slightly change in height relative to the others and this would effect belt/thread level and tension wh... | |
| Magico Comparison Musicfile, Perhaps you are talking about the original Mini. I've now heard the Mini 2 in six different systems and they have each sounded very different. I don't know what that means except to say that for a comparison to mean anything valid to me... | |
| Magico Comparison What is the original Magico? Do you mean one of the bespoke designs designed for individual customers or an early production commercial product? Did you compare them in the same system? | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Nice photo of the Verdier. My table is also on a Vibraplane. When I add a record clamp as heavy as the Timline, the Vibraplane moves slightly. How does the thread drive on that Verdier react if the table and platter are on the Vibraplane while the... | |
| Review: Jim Smith RoomPlay voicing Tweak You are very welcome Erndog. Jim has a lot more experience than I do. So he uses his measuring instruments and then plays 20 or so digital songs that he knows extremely well and he basically fine tuned what I had started. He spent ten hours straig... | |
| Review: Jim Smith RoomPlay voicing Tweak Truman, Here are the basics of Jim's method in order:1. Locate best position and height of the listening seat. Based on measuring bass for smoothest response.2. Proper speaker distance out from front wall based on room nodes and tonal balance.3. P... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Implicit in your question is that the EMT is the best turntable available. I don't think anyone can realistically prove this one way or the other because no one or group of listeners has compared it to all other candidates in the same system with ... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Syntax, you did not answer my question. I will ask it one last time. Are you saying that SME supplies more accurate turntables to professional musicians and conductors (and reviewers) than they do to the general public? Like you implied with your ... | |
| Magico Comparison Jwm, I take offense to that. And the OP stated clearly that he likes the Q3. Why come onto a thread and insult the OP and other participants.The OP is asking about Magico speakers. I tried to provide him with some information about the specific tw... |
