Many thanks, I don't really what version my platter is. Could you tell me from this pic?I removed the Thorens mat so it now looks so disgusting....

Just a short comment on the motor rumble on my particular example of EMT930: using a 40yrs old idler I could clearly hear the joyful sound of the motor when playing a test empty track (through quite efficient Stax O2 headphones, max volume on their 7...

Actually, if we use a stethoscope and our ears, we buy standard precision bearings, motors and control electronics. All quite affordable. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. If we look at an old Thorens TD160, how much more engineering does the a...

Frank Blöhbaum, from Sweden I believe, have designed for Thorens a preamp that I think the first outside of Russia commercial use my 6E5P tube.

It is interesting that any conversation about a specific technology in TT instantly get converted into conversation about brands. We were talking about idler roles and then we get embraced into thinking of Garrard vs. EMT. Perhaps it needs to be...

[quote user="Stitch"]In Germany are a few analog groups, some build their turntable with a piece of wood and a knife and think it is great, some prefer old Linn, Garrads, Thorens as the only, real solution to listen to and others refuse to listen to ...

After expending the better part of the day sorting through the record bins at thrift stores I came home with some finds (for me). Milstein playing Mendelssohn’s e minor on Columbia’s first LP, ML4001, and the Golden Jubilee concert ...

The carts from Fidelity Research were made until 1989. From what I know, the FR-7 series are different among with Impedance, Output and what kind of diamond cut they have. They last forever based on their internal construction and can be retipped qui...

I need to note that MicroTTs, American Sound and a few other TTs with very heavy palter are complicated subjects. From one perspective a heavy platter is the key. I remember years back a few years Lechintsky published mathematical equivalents of TT ...

If we look generally at stability from bridges to optical measurement benches, mass has one function - tune resonance or place it outside of the desired passband. Other methods are chosen when we want to convert energy to heat.Do we know what a "ligh...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, that is funny that you are stressing my SX8000 or even mention it, if you ever invest the effort to read the site, or at least the thread then you would understand how out of context your manner. The AF1/Micro is kin...

The Rockports have a very light platter and a carbon Arm....the one I listened to was the latest, it had simply no Bass reproduction, nada, nothing and the Arm resonances are also inferior to any energy transfer from any cartridge. The lead wires are...

Hi Romy,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I would discard the test disk truck– I never use it. Take a silent space between the cuts (test disk!) and make a needle at your operational VTF to be in stationary ay a bit more than a half record.In fact it is ar...

[quote user="Gibraltar"] Not sure what you're suggesting here. Are you saying that I should be able to hear some channel imbalance from the surface noise if the anti-skate is not working? I did try removing the arm tube then turning the anti-skate di...

[quote user="Stitch"] None of these owners bought it because they can hear a difference, they are absolutely not interested in that and they have absolutely no idea about it!! They bought it as a toy and to get a position in an audiophile community a...

In my post above I have mention that Srajan is in a way a brainless parrot that repeats the heard and has no ability of desire to understand what was the noise about. His comments that 6E5P and E810F are “close electrical” is a good indication how it...

[quote user="drdna"]Romy, I think you are asking if I have the Edgar subwoofers also. Yes, I do, like giant woodgrain refrigerator in the living room. So I do get some bass response. [/quote]
Yes, I was asking about the Edgar refrigerato...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]I heard this TT, it was magnificent, almost no coloration to speak of, dead dead quiet. Of course it wasn't plugged in and there was no tonearm or cartridge yet but man I loved the sound! Really whatnthe hell is everyon...

Well, as usual, we can read all over what one likes or dislikes....each his own of course. But, we can not read why someone did like or did not like something.Same for me of course, but it would be helpful to offer a kind of "priority" (or whatever o...

Finally, I'd appreciate your opinion on the scheduled implementation of regenerated electric power on my system.I am planning to hook up my entire gear on a single PP1050hv (230V) unit:2-channel:

Epigraph
"…just buy a used Micro Seiki and don’t worry about turntables anymore; built like a tank and sounds better than TTs costing over 30K USD.” Mr. Ikeda, of Ikeda / Fidelity Research

Yes we're creating the ultimate turntable so why not.''So can you
imagine adding to a tonearm a function to catching the proximity from
the center and dynamically reset the anti-scatting? How about automated
tonearm’s vertical excursion to compens...

Well, the Ultimate Turntable. I had the chance to listen to some personally. Most have one in common:Overrated and hyped from deaf "reviewers"And .... price tag has no direct comparison to sonic excellence ... or a lot of technical features which are...

Very interesting Amir.
I am also waiting on a Model 5, to arrive in the UK. It was ordered some months ago but I ordered a balanced version (this one will be all-balanced - two balanced inputs and balanced output) and that's tak...

Needless to say the sonic impressions I am
getting at the shows may be deceptive and always are very
preliminary: that's the nature of an event like that. Who knows
what's happening in the mains while I am listening, may b...
