| Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage? I find that I can enjoy low levels just as much as high levels. Actually, low level requires more attention, and I get further into the music. | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? Keep us posted - my retip / reconstruction time is coming. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. As for cost, you may not get what you pay for, but you certainly don't get what you don't pay for. As someone else said. If your turntable does not have a frictionless cushion of compressed air or mag-lev, in 3D, that friction is causing noise an... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. @lewm Classical music was most mutilated on RBCD, as opposed to other genres. Massed brass or string passages sounding like the crumpling of cellophane. Exactly. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? @laoman Thank you! | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often Scanspeak is discontinuing a wonderful 10" woofer in the Revelator series - good bargain now. Recently assembled an isobaric sub configuration and powered it up with a Bryston 4B, and it sounds as fast as my ESL's. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. All turntables make noise to varying degrees, and we can hear it. That noise, however small, excites the stylus. How small in practical terms? Well, I can hear the bearings in my 1.8W precision AC motor, whether the motor is energized or not. Tha... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? @laoman True. There are dozens of good modern pieces, IMO. At least 0.001%. Do you have vinyl references for the pieces you mention? | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? Photomicrograph of a diamond cantilever shows how much glue to expect. Sorry, can't post it. - anyway, invisibly much. | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? A number of years ago I saw lots of K’s on Ebay with gold pins. At the time, all K came with silver pins, or so it seemed. Also some poorly made bamboo boxes. @mulveling would know if these were genuine. The only sources I heard talking about cou... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights Well said. A synchronous AC motor is a safer bet, so a good first step. | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @pindac If you are interested, it's on page 25 of the DIY Air Bearing Linear Arm thread at DiyAudio. The whole thread is worth reading. I learned a lot that was very useful - like the importance of 1/32" Tygon tubing. | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @lewm Understood. Thanks. @pindac The factory will sell to you directly, at least, they sell directly to me. Also, they give free advice. I find it easiest to buy everything from them: air fittings, shafting, end blocks to support shafting, etc... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Sounds like you’ve got lots of pop feedback, and lots of people will steer you to the classics like Barber’s Adagio. And modern serious stuff is mostly pretentious garbage, IMO, but there are a few exceptions, and they are sublime. Modern serious... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @pindac I think you mean ’thrust bushing’. Only a very few commercial TT offer an air cushion in all three dimensions, as does a thrust bushing, and they are all well north of 100K. Their 35mm thrust bushing can support up to 60kg, so safely 45... |
