Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Dear Kmccarty,that sounds pretty reasonable. Are you happy with the sound or do you think there could be some improvement? Which table and arm are you using?

Dkarmeli,I am sure you are succesfully building up your room. This is a wonderful stage in the life of an audio guy. Maybe it will never end - with the right instruments you already have, so many similarities that I really cannot understand what h...

Dkarmeli,i respect very much your position on analogue vs. digital - and yes here we may have different experiences, especially when it comes to a dCS chain with a perfect clocking system and the DAC set to master function. Regarding the system's ...

Dear Kmccarty,yes,I did it exactely this way, soldered the resistors and tested, took them out and changed resistors. Following more or less the formula I ended up for instance for the Goldfinger v2 in the Cobra arm (coupled by XLR) with a 850 ohm...

Dkarmeli,only the BV's image appears similar to Kevins Vox Olympian. Ingredients, size, X-over and sub integration are completely different. But on this later more. I see you have a pretty good understanding of a good listening room. I also got th...

Dkarmeli, just an excursion, when you read the article about the Atomic clock you may get an insight when digital really does sound great, the Dac in master mode and the word clockings steered by the Rubidium clock. What a difference! but these ar...

Thanks Dkarmeli! Maybe one day I will write a bit more about the Vox and its development.

Dear Lewm,the Boulder 2008 phonostage comes with personality cards for the cartridge set up. The cards serve two functions - switches to set the electronics for the type of cartridge used at the input, and places to solder the custom load terminat...

Dkarmeli,I got my R 80 with the glass platter and went then for the felt platter because a friend of mine exactely described what you realized.my system is a very humble one: ARC 40 preamp and EMT JPA66 preamp (also phono), Wavac HE 833 II amps, B... 
Nude Turntable Project
Richard,agree with you. i would also go for something between the spikes and the shelf. Harmonix has fantastic small plates to put the spikes on (not that much expensive). Does it change the sound? Yes, definitely!Or you end up with putting the ta... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Regarding carts I am usually confronted with the MC camp or the MM group, maybe some rare MI lovers. Why are we not able to use them all?okay this again needs going for more than one table/tonarm set up. I know audio friends using one table with a...

Peter, agree! In the beginning of the thread Tbg stated "its now all said in the thread" .How wrong one can be :-)Dkarmeli, I have both platters, currently using the glass platter which is not made of pure glass, coming with a special rubber layer...

Peter,having had some funny deja vus on audio gear I got to hear in the past from one side "never go for an idler, they rumble and cannot precisely follow the required speed".I made my own experiences and did not rely on these statements or war st...

Some people have had all those exotic cars and ended up riding a bicycle. Not because they have to but because they want to, some ride the bicycle and just look at those cars in the garage driving to work in modern car meeting latest technologies....

Studer C37 and Studer A820 were not designed for audiophiles as the EMT 927 was not too. I guess Timetel the P3 had a professional background as well? Because of this fact were (are!) these machines not audiophile? I do not understand this logic!L...
