| Nude Turntable Project Gentlepeople.The debate between those that like compliant type supports and those that go for the hard supports has raged on forever. My view is that if you have a suitably still shelf, hard is the way to go. From reading here it seems that those ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ChrisAm I up and running?Yes and no. I have a loaner compressor, so I have music but it is very noisy and does not pass your stylus on a stationary record test.I will do the compliant CW arm and spring test once the proper compressor arrives. I ha... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dgarretson.I look forward to your tests on stiffer carts.Also re pivoted arms, I argued inelegantly a way back that the offset angle on a pivoted arm has a multiplying effect on the effective mass as seen by the cartridge. That is, the cartridge i... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dover.Thank you again for your interest in my upgrade, re the "woolly" comment, you are quite correct. Please refer to my web site where this phenomena is specifically discussed. It takes months for this trait to settle, whereupon it becomes super... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear DkarmeliI totally agree with your assessment of the SP10 MK3. However this is, IMO not a result of its design, the use of a servo, or DD. I believe it is the way it is built.The tension, greyness and lack of ebb and flow, can be significantly... | |
| To ring or not to ring? LewmThanks for the feedback. I wonder if say a reflex clamp with a suitable washer under the record would be superior?I'm working on a L07D now for a client and he does not have the ring. So we were looking a the options. Imagine it would be prett... | |
| Acrylic platter Nandric and Lewm.I have seen both David and Pieta and I was in awe at such beauty, such craftsmanship. Made from stone no less!I remember The Arm, way back then I lusted after it, which was irrational since I never actually auditioned one properly... | |
| Acrylic platter Nandric.I agree, there is an art in operating the CNC machines.In our CAD/CAM shop, different operators produce different "quality" even though they are using the same program. Figure that. I have dynamically balanced my composite platter by remov... | |
| Acrylic platter Lewm.I may have misunderstood your question.... Yes, I changed the motor magnet and speed sensor cup over from the original platter into a newly machined dural housing. | |
| Acrylic platter Lewm.No I am not that brave/reckless. I have the original platter complete. I took measurements from this and machined up a new magnetic housing. Re acrylic, I think that the trick is to get to the higher transmission speed material thru a minimum... | |
| Acrylic platter Nandric.My two cents worth on this subject.I run a heavily modified SP10 MK3 and have replaced the platter completely with an acrylic one with lead sheet insert and duralium magnet motor housing, to bring the weight back up to 10 kg. I personally ... | |
| To ring or not to ring? LewmCan you share with us what you hear when the ring is used as intended?Thanks | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Yes the glass arm was special. I used magnesium from a broken aeroplane wheel hub to mill the headshell. Slotted mounting holes to facilitate correct cartridge alignment. I have one of the slate TT's somewhere in storage in the attic. Will s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.My trash bin....Too many years ago to count, I went about building 5 off BD TTs in quick succession. The platter was aluminium, bearing had a tungsten carbide thrust plate with replacable steel ball on the shaft. All five were of the same de... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Yes, some interesting materials and ideas being used in platters these days. Isn't VPI also making a ceramic one?Then the Clearaudio, in their Statement and Basis are using plastics. Take your pick. |
