Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
Thuchan, I completely agree with you that Timeline is the most accurate device. I added SDS to my VPI table soon after Timeline became available. Seeing how it was such a nifty toy, I bought one before I even own any strobe. I was surprised when m... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
Thuchan, I definitely would like to hear your view as well regarding Timeline. I am not denying that TW does not pass Timeline test. Syntax has been avoiding a direct question that I asked a couple of time but may be you could answer it then if yo...

Typo above, +-0.01 rpm, not +-0.001 rpm as I typed in one place. 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
Hmmm.. I found a review of KAB strobe on 6moon that claimed that KAB strobe error is +- 0.03%, that's +- 0.001 rpm so any turntable that is measured ok on KAB strobe should have a speed of 33.333+-0.01 rpm or 33.323-33.343. Pitchwise, to change a ... 
Rhea Signature vs. ARC PH-7
If you consider Dynavector XV-1s, one consideration would be that ARC PH series has gain of only 58 dB. I think that is really a bit too low for XV-1s. I probably would use ARC PH series with cartridges with at least 0.4 mV. Some preamp sounds fin...

Dev, if I remember correctly, you mentioned once that you bought a Minus-K that was customed ordered to fit Raven AC-3. When you bought BN, Minus-K was too small and you had to add a larger platform on top to accomodate BN. I don't remember all th... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
wrm57, I agree that it looks like TW owner are rather defensive. Unfortunately, you have to look at who is doing the bashing as well. So far Syntax said that he heard BN at a dealer in a system which he is probably not all that familiar with and s... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
We all know that TW speed is not within tolerance of Timeline but it is certainly well within tolerance of Kab strobe.So what does that mean? People who are not using Timeline are obviously clueless and do not have proper hearing ability to apprec... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
PS, I am also curious, before Timeline came out, do you use ya turntable? Were you able to dial in the speed as accurately with other method as accurately as Timeline? If no, were you able to enjoy listening to LP at all? If yes, why did you bothe...

Syntax, since you are all knowing, please let us know, is TW motor spinning at 34 rpm, 40 rpm, 30 rpm or what. 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
tdaudio, I completely agree with you about recording process and all the behind the scene work. DG certainly made it well known that they are not there to capture the performance as is but edit and manipulate the recording session in such way that... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
Dev, I had problem with belt moving up and down on the pulley of my AC1. However that was easily fixed once I adjust the height oh the motor and turntable properly. I also have Timeline which I used on tw VPI and microseiki . It is not a big issue... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
Speed accuracy is always going to be an issue with TW (not speed stability though, that's a different story). Yes,I also find that I could never get TW to be exactly at 33.33333333 whatever resolution Sutherland Timeline will give with me eyeballi... 
Zyx vs. Van Den Hul
Sorry to go off topic slightly but I came across VDH Grasshopper, still unused that is offered to me at around the same ballpark figure as these 2 cartridges being discussed. I remembered a number of reviewers used to talk about Grasshoppers as on... 
Mint Protractor for the Classic Toneram 10.5i-SE
Captain_winters, you are right. I was wondering about the same thing as I recalled that when I first got mint protractor, I thought that mint required me to move the cartridge backward a notch as well. Anyhow, my VPI protractor was not quite setup...
