| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Oops. Writing on an iphone is a sure-fire way to make lots of typos. So please ignore those. One can add to the last point that it is not necessarily a BAD thing to exchange one set of undesirable resonances for another set of undesirable resonanc... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Ct0517,A pedestal is nothing more than a 'plinth' :^)The issue of having isolation between the arm bearing and table bearing can be illustrated, in extremis, by imagining a jack-in-the-box with an immovable armpod next to it. After jack has popped... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Halcro,I'll get there. I think the concrete idea is really kind of cool. One could even do a low cost DIY "TT pod" out of concrete. :^) | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I meant to say in the previous comment that the P3's construction is not terribly different than some of the 'armpod' implementations of some of the people who have presented on this thread. The difference would be in how the armpod is connected t... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul,If you look at the original marketing materials for the Kenwood L-07D from almost 30 years ago, you will find a clear 'explanation' against having the arm base be dis-connected from the bearing mount of the turntable. A similar explanation is... | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... In each of my systems the CDP/digital costs what the speakers cost. In both cases it is about 25%. Those numbers are pure coincidence and have little meaning as I listen to digital very rarely in those systems.In the other two 'systems' where I li... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Halcro,What does it mean if the feedback increases as volume increases. If airborne feedback is the ONLY problem, one would figure the effects to increase. Personally, I am not convinced that airborne feedback affecting my rack, and then feeding '... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, I'll bite.The answer is that YES the NVS is a ring holding the table, with that ring mounted on legs. It serves the purpose that what is commonly thought to be a 'plinth' also serves. In principal, if you think of your TT-81 and what the o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dlaloum,Interesting website. Thanks.Raul,Fernambuk is probably Pernambuco, also known as 'brazilwood' (which, perhaps unsurprisingly, comes from Brazil). Any wood with that combination of grain structure and color almost has to come from a warmer ... | |
| Anything like an Altec Model 19 My short answer is "no." I would wait because a pair is bound to show up at some point. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,From my (admittedly received, rather than self-taught) understanding, at that frequency, it could very well be that the difference between the cuttoff and lack thereof was a result of MM cart reactance causing an electrical distortion peak whi... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Yes, you are probably right. The nest way to deal with the top is have a full-width metal top-plate. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Halcro,Makes sense as an inexpensive DIY solution. May not be as pretty as the DaVinci solution but there is no reason why it cannot be made reasonably pretty. The question I would have is how one can make really decent Micro-Seiki-like armbases t... | |
| Are you recording your vinyl? Thanks Ghasley,I am somewhat surprised that USB can carry DSD. I assume there is a memory buffer of some sort in the MPD-3. | |
| Are you recording your vinyl? Ghasley,What are you using as output protocol from your Mac Mini to your MPD-3? |
