| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Well I replaced my pump with something quieter. It's the HYGGER HG095 4W version. This gives 95GPH/360LPH at 0.02 Mpa pressure. So slightly larger flow and slightly more pressure, than what came with the Terminator, but not by much. Sound level is... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update The best sounding wire I ever had, was the original pure Silver wire that Vic used to supply with the Terminator. Unfortunately his supply dried up and its no longer available, I've searched myself. This was, in my opinion, a little to stiff/heavy... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Hi @ledoux1238 Been away for a few days. What gauge and type is that wire, looks like thick, Silk wrapped Litz? I hate that stuff with a passion and is the reason I almost gave up on the Terminator, horrible, horrible wire. Kinks and twists and is... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @ledoux1238 0.02g is a tiny amount, but I am getting exactly the same reading every time. There is a blue sticker in the centre of my scales measuring pad. I do get slightly different readings outside this zone. I stand my gauge on a wood block n... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @ledoux1238 The distortion, was vibration feeding back through the stylus/cartridge into the Wand/pins. When steel pins were running in the Aluminium "V" of the straps this vibration caused them to wiggle about or chatter. This noise or distortion... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Actually I suggested Nylon Pins to Vic, not saying Owen didn’t have the same thought though. I was discussing the Chatter based distortion with Vic, with the then steel pins running direct on the Aluminium "V" of the Strap. I mentioned I was going... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I got the modified Terminator Arm finished and mounted to my DIY DD Turntable. It's rock solid, with the new Mounting Plate. I need to fine tune things to find the sweet spot and make up my mind if I prefer the sound with/without the 3mm Copper... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Yes, you're correct, I fell out with the Terminator, due to difficulty in setting it up and then maintaining this correct set up. I was never happy with the silk covered Litz wire or the recommended way of dressing it. Also I took my gear to HiFi ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I noticed the Mounting plate twisted when I was levelling the manifold/Slider. I would get it just right, hovering in the middle and when I tightened the Pivot Bolt the plate twisted and the slider moved at speed to the right. So almost impossible... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I knocked out a dimensioned drg for my Mounting Plate, in Coral Draw. Its linked on my website and also below. Feel free to use this in a non commercial way, if you so wish. DRG | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Sorry I can’t help folks out with these, but some details of the Bracket and other tweaks can be found Here: And my purpose made Turntable for the Arm Here: I don't have CAD files for the part, but I will see if I can knock out a dimensioned drg... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I did a long post explaining why I cant make for others and how to go about making one yourself, but it did not publish and was lost. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Hi On the subject of wands and upgrades...... I’ve been a Terminator user for over a decade. Back in the day, when Vic at TransFi was fitting steel pivot pins, running directly in the Aluminium "V" of the Strap extrusion, users like myself were ex... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I was a believer in i2s fairly early on and on paper it makes sense, however....... After trying both PS Audio and Topping DAC's with i2s inputs, connected to either a RPi streamer or NuPrime CD transport with i2s outputs, the results were not sh... | |
| Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally? overall, I would say its not a good idea. Records are not an even thickness, the label area stands proud and so does the outer edge, it has a thickening or bead designed to guide the stylus into the start groove, it also helps in the manufacturing... |
