| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? ThomHave you considered introducing a little series R Into the power supply and scoping the motor current draw to vicariously look at stylus drag as a function of motor current draw?cheers | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? Hey Tom.Who would have thought that music is about emotion, how it makes us feel!As you say, some get tied up in he numbers, but the acid test is 'How does it make me feel?"No emotion, no contest.cheers. | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? Dear All.I suspect that the heavy/light platter debate will always have its disparate points of view. What we are really talking about is low or high inertia platters and the matching of these to drives of sufficient torque, intimately coupled to... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Halcro.Yep, transmission, WRT vibration, means the same thing here in NZ. You mentioned transmission at resonance (FR) and at this frequency, it is obviously at is maximum since the excitation frequency and resonance frequencies are the same. At e... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Yes the capitalized "NO" was deliberate.HalcroCan you please explain how we can hear and clearly understand someone talking on the other side of a closed window?Horrid music, which sounds like a broken washing machine, coming thru the walls of my ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Halcroaccoustic excitation....firing sound at the material.putting the material in an environment where sound is present. Ok again for clarity.... Under circumstances where we fire sound at a material.....Are you saying that the material will ONLY... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? HalcroFurther expansion of my last question....Are you saying that, with accoustical excitation, the material will ONLY vibrate if the excitation frequency is the resonant frequency of the material?IOW. Accoustical excitation at frequencies other ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Halcro"It is only when sound pressure of a sufficient volume (and that's important) at a material's Resonant Frequency occurs...that the material can 'vibrate'."I want to be sure that I have interpreted your statement here accurately.What you are ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew.I think that we slow a little as we age, less youthful bravado. I have built/rebuilt virtually all of my system but, like you, I would not have the energy to start again. I spend most of my time listening, which is after all what the system i... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew.There were several reasons for the new platter...- I had just sold my Goldmund Studio and admired the design of its platter, which is acrylic and lead. Although not the lead plug inserts it used. My design uses a lead disc insert. - The SP pla... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? FleibThe speed sensor consists two parts..., The sensor coils which are stationary and a toothed magnet which is attached to the platter.Sorry, I wasn't clear in my earlier post.Cheers | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? FleibMany years ago I decided to completely replace the platter on my SP10 MK3The new one consists of a trilaminate of acrylic on the top 15 mm of lead and then duralium.The duralium interfaces with spindle and spigots to the lead and acrylic kee... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Peter and Lew.Thanks for your interest in my upgrade. It's not really appropriate for me to promote it via this forum. Anyone interested can PM me directly or go to my krebsupgrade web site.That said, just a small clarification; during the develop... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? RwwearMany years ago I made a leather chamois mat for one of my home brew TTs I purchased a car cleaning chamois from an auto parts store.A few dollars from memory.I agree with Banquo that the best results were with the suede side up.Dont know how... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris.I can relate to the water in the air comment.Here in Auckland, New Zealand, it gets pretty humid in the summer months. Many years ago I was listening with a few Friends and we all commented on the sound quality being sub par. It was put down... |
