| What Tonearms can use a Linn Mount? Also, Kuzma (at least, the Stogi Reference).Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Ah ... the written word ... it can sometimes be our worst enemy. Ask me how I know this ...It was surely brave of Dan to try to summarize his experiences of his weekend: sleep deprivation, jet air travel, strange systems, etc. As time rolls forwar... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Hi Richard,I've been woefully behind on this thread due to working on some background issues. As I wrote to Dan_ed privately, I'll expand on the Anvil and other questions in the next 36 hours.Regarding suspended designs, there's a new keeper of th... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Hi Dan, Frank ...Frank's comments on drive systems and torque are spot on. He and I had a good discussion about this at CES - a conversation that verified everything I've learned in the past 6 years. Any turntable drive system is a resonant system... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Hi Doug, Yes, Dan heard only one of my two best available working combinations - the Triplanar / XV-1s. In terms of the initial agenda, the Triplanar / Universe was scheduled for Sunday morning - planning on doing 2 combinations on Saturday and 2 ... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Hi Dan,The photos on the bearing page are a bit confusing. Frank makes fine VTF adjustment available (via the thumbwheel on the counterweight) for both the DPS and the Reference. It's a no-close option. The only reason it isn't standard is because... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint It's my humble opinion that of the 4 permutations we wanted to listen to on Saturday, the one we didn't get to (Triplanar/ Universe) is the best combination for the Universe. Please see my comments below about mass matching caveats, and the fact t... | |

| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Hi Andrew,Dan spent from about 10am until 5pm chez Galibier. We listened to: 1. Schröder / ZYX Universe 2. Triplanar / Dynavector XV-1s 3. Schröder / Dynavector XV-1sWe ran out of time for the 4th permutation.We'll let Dan report on his vist both ... | |
| ARIES 3 OR SUPER SCOUTMASTER I would ask VPI about their rationale for all of the overlapping models. It's my humble opinion that the consumer deserves to fully understand a manufacurer's design philosophy.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| E-mail address for Galibier Hi Slowhand,I'm back ... and with a bulging inbox, I might add. I just sent a test message - sending from an alternate e-mail address and using the "Contact" page on my website.The message arrived. You must have experienced a glitch on the mail se... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? Hi Nghiep,A few projects along with unscheduled travel have slowed down the first Serac run. If I were a bettng man, I'd guess on July.I have 3 road-trips coming up in the next two months which have put a damper on riding herd over the project.Che... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? Thanks Dan,Exactly my take on this. At some point, the forces equalize. What really amazed me was how similar the rate of this dimple formation was - between materials so disparate as brass, stainless, and Delrin.Limited computer access this week ... | |
| Baby Koetsus? ie, Poor Mans Koetsu Everyone knows my love of the 103R.My limited experience of one sample of a Shelter 501 (for a one month period) pointed me toward it liking rock and modern jazz but not having the coherence of either it's big brother (the 901) or the Denon when p... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? Just caught this, and off to Ottawa in the morning. I don't know what all this talk of bearing wear is about. The longest running rig I've been able to inspect is going on 4.5 years old now and I don't see any sign of thrust bearing wear beyond th... |
