| 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... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? "They give you a break in time for these?" This was my first thought too. If you heard them in a store, they probably had a reasonable number of demo hours on them. I'm presuming you bought new, so they will require some brake in of the bass dri... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? @lewm My position is that the newer and top range decks are better, but not massively, each step up is only very small, because the the original was so good in the first place. Arms/Cartridges and accurate set up will have more impact and if yo... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? If the rest of the system is capable, the SP10 has weight and authority, bass is well defined and timing/separation is good. Basically high on PRAT. Again its not massively better. The 1200G is a good deck, to step up from there you need to be loo... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? Am I missing something? what's the big thing about the new Coreless motor. All the Technics DD turntables are Coreless are they not? They have produced many variants on different models over the years. Where is this extra build quality people a... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? @rauliruegas I can appreciate there are differences in the motors, the start up torque is higher on the new one, but start up time is exactly the same. Basic speed stability, wow and flutter is no better (worse). The literature talks about coggi... |
