Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
regarding cantilevered armboards it seems to me we should look deeper into aspects like how long is the cantilever, which forces are put on, which are the mass ratios and which is the source of the resulting energy of the scanning process? If we d... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Fleib,okay - that makes sense! I could build up a round aluminum (or using other material!?) corpus in which the 101 sinks in keeping rigid contact. Three floating but rigidly coupled armbases -eventually not neccessarily flying in the air- k... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Lewm,that seems to be a brilliant idea: why not building a massive slate plinth, let the 101 sink in the middle and Henry`s pods at three other holes having rigid contact with the slate plinth. will draw a draft.

Fleib,why do you think a cantilevered approach is a bad thing in this case? cantilever armboards can work very well when implemented properly!For example the Micro Seiki engineers were really ahead of their time and they did know why they used 30m...

thanks Fleib and Dover - very helpful indeed!what do you think about the two implementation designs I mentioned above? 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Totem395,you`re right. Maybe I was asking too much in general. I am not referring to the theoretical implications. Copernicus should blame me. I thought in the meantime there could be some more experiences from experimenting rather than describing... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Thanks Lewm. What is the disadvantage of stand alone armpods and why is it crucial that there is a connection between armpod and table? Does the physical connection bear any advantages?Taking Henry's excellent implementation, would it help if the ... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Henry convinced me going for a 101. my unit will arrive in about 2 weeks and I hope it has not too many defects as it is "for repair". I got a lot of information from Henry (👍 many thanks) also preparing my service team which is ready to start 🔧. ... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Dear Halcro,followed your advice. what a year can bring to us, Strain Gauge, four more arms and sopme tables 😎 
Not as much activity on analog here
Stevecham,correct! Nevertheless a good exchange on opinions and some support are always helpful?Peterayer,Dertonarm is building up his own analogue business, about Raul we're all speculating what happened with him and those who are in contact don'... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
heard he is still developing his tonearm being presented on CES 2020... 
Not as much activity on analog here
Blueranger,maybe you'll remember the intensive discussions we had here some years ago on nearly all interesting analog subjects, MM vs. MC, vintage tables vs. modern ones, tonearm designs, geometry issues etc. I still think when rereading all thes... 
EMT TSD15 tonality..colouration ?
Pani,WE 618B, Silvercore, Kondo KSL Sfz, Jorgen Schou,SPU-T1, FR AGT-5X, Tango MCT-999 etc.The gain depends on the carts I am using, in case of my Lzi (the only one in this configuration) I am going for 10 Ohms. 
EMT TSD15 tonality..colouration ?
Pani,I am using SUTs and a MM phono but you may also go with an appropriate phono pre like the EMT 66JPA. I am running it in a FR-66s. 
EMT TSD15 tonality..colouration ?
Hi Millsoft,the diamond in my Lzi is a special version with an especially polished, naked diamond bar on a boron bar and this in a sandwich construction with the cantilever leading to a clearer sound picture. As you might know the better the diamo...
