| mono cartridge vs stereo A friend showed me what I thought was "conclusive" proof that his mono cartridge gave better results on mono recordings, so I bought a Miyajima Zero, which is very nice. But it seems to lack the ultimate refinement of my higher end Koetsu (stereo)... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Dgarretson, I noticed that you posted on the stability of the Terminator saddle, and that the stability decreased with increasing air pressure. I noticed the same thing, even with a highly filtered and regulated air supply. In my case, it seems to... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Changed the mounting options on my turntable. On the turntable itself I changed the sorbothane pads to aluminum spikes resting on aluminum pucks. The shelf which supports the turntable is now supported by hardwood pillars all the way down to concr... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Hello Spirit.Yes, he suggested that I post photos and suggestions. I will probably do that at some point, but I am working on an air bearing turntable at the moment, so ... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Hello Harold.I have not tried a large tank alone. I recalled the days of my mis-spent youth, and cars with leaky mufflers, which absolutely smoothed the exhaust emitted at the tailpipe. So I decided to add to this with another piece of muffler tec... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... DG, I don't think that air volume is constant over a pressure change of an order of magnitude. But I have no measurements to back that up.I agree that pump output pressure is largely irrelevant, unless you have a leaky system. Which I do - leaky t... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Hello Spirit.Maybe I'm getting too old and grouchy ...I agree that with all who say that the Terminator is a low pressure system, and intentionally low. The question nevertheless remains: "How low? On which turntable, with what cartridge, with wha... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... A thoughtful post, Dgarretson.Even so, I do not agree that you have demonstrated that a pump with a 1 psi output is necessary and sufficient for Terminator. First a technical quibble: as you note, P and V are inversely related, so that it makes go... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Spirit, with respect, that sounds a lot like an ad hominum sneer. We are all, I would have hoped, governed by what is observable. That is science. That is my way. The other way is superstition.I stand by what I wrote. | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... That's the one. | |

| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Hello Harold.Unfortunately, that listing will not load for me, but they do sound similar. Mine is Japanese, with all the best that this connotes.I have three surge tanks. The air path is: pump, 4 litre filled with cotton, regulator, 4 litre empty,... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Update on a regulated air supply.More to report than I expected. I thought the results would be a matter of nuance, not a matter of dramatic improvement, but I was wrong.I had been using a Rena 400 aquarium pump with two surge tanks, of 4 and 20 l... | |

| recessed center in old turntables platters ... why Hello Tom.Yes, recessed for label and recessed for lip. Nottingham Analogue is much under-appreciated IMO. I discovered them shortly after I bought one of the first Lynn Basics, which was almost as good as Lynn's best-of-the-day, but for 20% of th... |
