| Cartridge Mounting Hardware At 11:54, "Torque values have nothing to do with sound."At 3:23, "Of course these things matter. Of course they affect the sound."Yeah, sure, whatever, Mr. Miller. Goodbye. | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware Sleepwalker, thanks for the correction. I'm a little anal-retentive about tools since I saw a VP vaporize a prototype because of faulty instrumentation. | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware Fremer trusted it enough to use it, whatever his initial impression.Do you really think that the force holding two mating surfaces together has no impact on their dynamic behaviour? Really? Do you not think that variables such as material (plastic... | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware As for Fremer’s trust for the wrench - internet "bargain"? I’ll bet it wasn’t a high end industrial version, like Stahlwille. I mean, what kind of sucker would pay all that money for a tool he could trust?I remember, at a track day, one of the Por... | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware Second the torque screwdriver for cartridge bolts and nuts. I use a premium Stahlwille tool (as in Mercedes shops), and it made a significant difference. Not only was the torque made to be consistent, it could be optimized as a set-up parameter. E... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? I use a HiBlo pump from Pets&Ponds. Model 60 I believe (massively overspecced because I planned to use low pressure for other uses). I use a 1 gal plastic jug filled with cotton balls, with a long piece of perforated plastic tube feeding air t... | |
| Need speaker suggestion for a larger room! I like panels. And I don't like loud: classical, choral, folk. Have used Magnepan, ML, and Quads. Have settled on Quad 2905's. No problems in nearly 15 years. Silver and black. Good used examples are within your price range.Good hunting! | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Ralph, the gentleman. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Jtim, I have set out to damage a record with excessive exposure and temperature. Other than warping the record, I failed. The record was undamaged after more than an hour's exposure to a lab grade machine.I tested by first cleaning the record by r... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Trans-Fi tonearm works with low pressure. An aquarium pump is recommended. I run mine at 20-30mm of Hg, that is about 0.5 psi.Low pressure means no issues with oil or condensate or maintenance. High pressure (for my TT) does mean maintenance, but ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Pleasure is mine, Harold. Nice to share. And that Salvation's no slouch either.I am certain that the improvement is a serious one, in my system. But indirectly.The mod allows me to set the manifold with high precision and stability. Then I can set... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Many propositions which do not prove the conclusion. The only relevant proposition is the existence of another thread, which proves little, and certainly not your conclusion. It's called a non-sequitur, Mr. Miller. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Not necessary to constantly fiddle, with the Trans-Fi at least. However, most fiddles bring a reward, so the temptation is there. Also, with the Trans-Fi adjustments are stable, rather more stable than most conventional arms I have used.@harold-no... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Agreed about the Trans-Fi. Not only is it a good air bearing design, so the lateral forces acting on the stylus are negligible (think about the mechanical advantage of a spiral a meter long, acting over the width of a groove - a distance measured ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Good question, Ralph. I suspect that my spectrum analyzer is too slow - but I’m sure that it’s too heavy! That will have to wait until I have help to move it.However, since the AP LP was an order of magnitude quieter than the other LP at all frequ... |
