| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Raul raises a good point. How accurately are the various cutting lathes spinning? This is a whole different topic. It does lead nicely into long term average speed accuracy....There is a trend to show how incredibly accurate peoples DD TTs run, po... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? mijostynYeah I know, I'm a dinosaur.And yes, agree, it is all about enjoying the music. One question I ask myself when I make a change is...How does the music make me feel after the change? Am I more connected to the performance? Does it move me e... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? While coreless motors exhibit no cogging, they do show, at a much lower level, perturbations in output torque. As designed and as built are two different things. Is this audible? maybe. What this wonderful hobby has taught me is that pretty much e... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Wouldn't setting the speed with the arm lowered be, at best, a compromise?What record do you choose? Surely the stylus drag is modulation dependant, so if you choose to set the speed at a 'medium modulation' level record, the platter will run fast... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Halcro. Thanks for posting the videos. I have seen tests like this before and the thing which startles is how quickly the platter slows down. All due to the drag induced by a tiny diamond thrashing about in a plastic groove. Others have said that ... | |
| Quick and free fuse tweak Lime =time big fingers, little phone key pad. | |
| Quick and free fuse tweak A question pleaseHas anyone tried Teflon plumbers tape multi wrapped around the glass part of the fuse?Could be another suitable materialAlso unlike masking tape, it will not dry out, harden and lose its adhesive properties over lime. Cheers | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part ParrotbeeMost of the worlds population work with the metric sysrem. The population of Japan belong to this clubAs Lewm suggests, this appears to be a M30x1 thread. It is defiantly a standard thread. Neither the thread pitch or diameter are unusual... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.Nice to be back."one cueing mechanism...." Totally agree, its is my finger.If anyone does remove the stick, don't forget to reset the VTFAnyway horses for courses. Winter here, so not much to do but listen to music.What's not to like. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners BTW if you are bold enough to remove the long lifter arm. Complete the task by removing the lever box and the short stick protruding from the goose neck. All of these things sing along with the music. Cheers | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Should read "Substituting the aluminium goose neck...…"ie using the Al instead of the CFMorning Joe has just kicked in. Cheers | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ct0517. Chris. are you trying to lure me back here?Removal of the lifter mechanism affords a slight improvement in focus, image precision. I used a foam rubber block mounted on the plinth at the edge of the platter which the cart rested on when p... | |
| TT mats Lew. Nice to read that the copper brings about a positive improvement.One wonders if this issue exists with the new Technics 10R.It does use a similar configuration of motor as the L07D and TT101.From the pics, the Technics appears to have a shiel... | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... HiI’m with Nandric on this one. Definitely worth trying it without the rubber ring,Curious to read your comments on this.cheers | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners SlawYes Just confirming you point.Cheers |
