A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Raul,The SME 30/2 a top performer... aua. You are not joking I guess.Hmm? Ok, I have heard it in a very good Kondo chain in it`s motherland with a mounted SME V. Okay if it is a top performer the Walker is the Giant. Both is not true in my ve...

Dear Halcro,maybe the weak side of the Continuums are their isolation issues. Neither the magnetive leverage of the Caliburn nor the feet of the Criterion are benchmark solutions. Therefore I had to implement my own isolation.For all my TTs I have...

Not to bad Unoear. I am curious to hear about your experiences. I am in contact with Minus-K for a long time but we failed coming together because of the weight problem - 250 pds. It seems they now have solved the issue. Let's see.best @ fun only

Deartonearm,I think Continuum was on the right track looking to collaborate with Minus-K. I don't know what person decided to give it up and put the rest of the money in new ventures rather than supporting the Continuum family.it is really a sad s...

Are these some inventions in TT design or not?everyone may judge on a personal bases:➢ Nested Platter Design using  new proprietary formula for Magnesium Alloy. 30kg Mass of platter assembly 330mm Diameter. ➢ New MILSPEC Alloy used for highly damp... 
Why are modern arms so ugly?
Dear Nandric,there is a good reason why you could compare Japanese and German engineers qua culture. Regarding their way of careful planning, studying and intensive implementation there are obviously parallels. When I have worked with German and J... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul,understand your position but we are waiting since a long time for the new tonearms. Now Dertonearm has officially declared he will show up with a new turntable this winter. Will we see a Mexican Table as well?Nothing is wrong with Market...

Deartonearm,in general you are right. Maybe we should add to your list of gifted innovators during the last decade Mark Doehmann et alt. from Continuum (software, vaccuum system, bearing, built quality, motor, steering system, tonearm)best @ fun only

Dear Nandric,ok - need to write in a more harmless way. Geoch was not intended as a teasing, nor the small motors. I only had a picture of you sitting in front of your Kuzma - forgive me!small motors are cheap, don`t have large dimensions, easy to...

No No Nandric, you are on the right track. Geoch would love it too I assume. He understands a lot about cultural implications and you two might have crossed ways with a better outcome I am pretty sure.small or not precise motors will not do a good...

A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Halcro,I always have regarded speed control, especially for the "belt-drive guys", as absolutely crucial. Drive Force, stability and precision are a must for a very good turntable system.This is why I implemented the VPI SDS drive on my two M...

I don't think it is difficult to get into the Tape Business again. You are able to buy excellent master dubs on the market (e.g. Tape Project). If you have some friends sharing this specific adventure you might  be able to make copies for your per...

Dear Lewm,this is a true story I am sure. Many people got rid of their vinyl collection too. And today? Some really lucky ones still have a collection, others are building it up cause there is so much vinyl out there, and in Jazz and Classics reco...
