| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge I didn't mean to sound critical of your language, just trying to understand what you mean. You can ignore the question. Sorry. | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Spirit, could you explain what you mean by "more ethereal than ever, but not at the expense of a realistic groundedness." I once used the terms "ethereal" and "grounded" to describe two completely different speaker systems, one quite diffuse, unna... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Everyone is discussing the price of this table. Why is there almost no discussion of how it performs? Surely people heard it at CES and in some other settings. Myles Astor on WBF has one for review but I've not read what he thinks about it yet. | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Don, you could ask the same question to other companies like Magico with their Q7 and Ultimate or Clearaudio with their Statement turntable. They do it because it is possible, it makes a statement, it helps with marketing, it helps them learn new ... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Don,Could you define what you mean by "bomb"? They may expect to sell very few units. How many would constitute success in your mind? | |
| MAGICO Q1 vs dc10 Berlin SM Mountain High, could you please describe how the Q1 was set up, what was in the rest of the system, how big the room is, and how you actually did the comparison? Did you borrow the Q1 from a friend or a dealer? | |
| New $35K pivoting tonearm I thought the really unique aspects of this arm are the different horizontal and vertical effective lengths (offset bearings so inertia is different in horizontal and vertical directions) and the pivoting counter weight so that VTF and SRA aren't ... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 11flat6, Yes, I agree.Dkarmeli, yes, I agree with this as long as relative horizontal movement is fixed. However, I was more concerned with relative vertical movement between the three and this would be dependent on the type of isolation and if it... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine That is awesome, Tony. Congratulations on your efforts. They seem to have paid off. What you say about the highs frequencies, like what you hear with cymbals, is so true. I too was startled when I added isolation to what I thought was already a we... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Thuchan, you recommend three separate isolation platforms for motor, table and flywheel. How can one control relative movement between the three? If they move differently, would that not effect belt/thread tension and thus effect speed?A few posts... | |

| Turnable database with TimeLine Tony, Those are very interesting observations. As you may know the horizontal movement of the SME upper platter is also constrained with paddles in silicone in the towers. The vertical movement is less so I think due to the direction and design of... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... Does anyone know how changes in SRA/VTA effect overhang with the Schroeder LT arm? Overhang should be zero with linear tracking tonearms because they precisely trace the LP radius to the spindle. (I think the Schroeder traces many different radii ... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Sadly, this database has not grown to include many samples. Interestingly, it has morphed into a discussion of motor types. And has been pointed out, the Timeline only shows one characteristic of turntable speed, namely average speed. And this may... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Halcro, I just rewatched Syntax's video of his RX-5000. To be fair, I think the frame speed of his video camera is interfering with the laser flash increments. I think that is why some laser flashes are not even seen and why the dash appears to ch... |
