hmmmm... Well, if you say so, I'll go as far as to say maybe. you can get OK sound @ some distance. I sure didn't notice any distance to get even OK sound from. I didn't spend much time in the room, I just wanted to check out th...

The people who have 3 arms on a single turntable know the problem. The tonearm on the right is the best - easy access by hand and easy to see the needle lowering location. The tonearm in the top of TT, the furthers tonearm has a perfect view of the c...

G10 also makes a nasty mess after you've cut it, get's all over the machine, fine "stuff" in the fluid... nasty to work with unless the end justifys the means. so it's fun to bitch @ anyone wanting to use it, that the only thing gain...

I really enjoyed reading an ignorant rant by someone who has probably neither heard the Continuum turntable, nor who is willing to say anything substantive about its design, yet he's more than happy to mock me and the people who designed and built th...

I disagree with many concussions and methods that those guys use but still I appreciate that people took the task and tied to attach is as good as they know of:

Not that physics is my strong suit, but casually watching a physics youtube video this thought crossed my mind.
I wonder if gyroscopes can be used in a turntable to improve it's performance without reverting t...

[quote user="drdna"] but let's not forget that we should never equate equipment prices with sound quality. [/quote]Absolutely disagree. This believe is the most ridicules accomplished that audio propaganda implanted inept the brains of audio people. ...

[quote user="tokyo john"]… If they then get the audio sickness, they will go on to spend many many thousands of dollars, over and over, for very modest incremental improvement to sound… [/quote]Actually I do not know if this is correct. In today’s wo...

[quote user="steverino"]However, if I stuck the balun between the SDS and the
turntable (ie the turntable plug into the balun and the balun into the SDS)
then I heard noise reduction Without a negative effect on the sonics. But note
that the SDS –...

The Thread was written from Romy 2006, I don't know when I read it the first time but it was an eye opener for me. In a way, one of the very best Analysis ever written.
6 years later (2012) every single sentence is still valid about morons, idiots,...

Paul, I searched for the discussion on platter weight optimality but couldn't find it. Anyway I assume people know I was referring to a one person lift turntable on a stand, not a one finger lift. Assuming a platter weight in the 25 pound range and ...

Romy Hi, there is nothing to say really, I was trudging up the usual hifi route, ( B&W 800's usual high powered solid state amps ) I thought a turntable upgrade would be the last step! Went to GT Audio to listen to Thomas Woschnicks tur...

NSET, Sorry for any confusion. It seems clear from Romy's experiences and others that the electrical line is a transportation system that lets everything ride for free to any station and back. Yes the SDS uses a quartz crystal oscillator and digital...

(Many) years ago (in a psychology class) I studied how baby ducklings were forced to follow a surrogate "mother" around a turntable, and an obstacle was placed in the duckling's path, so it had to jump over the obstacle to keep up with its "mother".&...

[quote user="drdna"]Easier to make might be a device like a record clamp you can attach to an existing turntable platter. It should be easy to do the experiment by trying a weight on the turntable platter: 1. a solid weight 2. an equal weight contain...

I'm only aware of PS audio as an alternative. I wasn't crazy about the original power plant but they introduced new models recently which may be better. (I did not get favorable results running my turntable through the PurePower and I have one of the...

[quote user="dkarmeli"]If the rest of the setup is up scratch then all you get is the recording and you'll forget about they system. Your body and mind will relax and allow you to have the same emotional connection with the music as you'd have in a l...

Stitch, I am not too familiar with the sound of contemporary TT and I am not necessary would discard them juts because they are contemporary. I still have that fantasy about some kind of flimsy, paper-made TT that for whatever reason do sound very go...

Well, I would say this CES was very low on decent sound. Sometimes I had to fight with the urge to leave a room or two immediately after hearing a few bars of music being played.Still the hope is not lost. At a fringe show at the Flamingo hotel (THE ...

I worked a little bit with those and I compared it to Vibraplane.The Minus-K are ok, they do a good job BUT they move very easily, they are very wobbly and based on that, you can only use them with center weight Turntables. And based on their size, w...

There are a few manufacturers out there, Minus-K, Halcyonics, Vibraplane...The Vibraplane is a good unit for the money, I have no problems with it and it does the job the way it should.Those Vibration units work different from construction and are ve...

Paul, What attracts me to the TW TT is the idea that it is possible to discard anything that we might consider important but to make the platter as a sandwich what the bottom of the platter care bearing but the top of the platter is decupled from the...

I would like to buy new turntable – just to listen to music every evening. Current set up is rather entry by level – Technics 1210 with Grado Gold and Trichord Dino. However it could produce more or less correct time picture, and involve me into the ...

Wellington,It is my understanding that lead was used because it'a anti an anti-seize properties. The bearing fit is very tight and I suppose this helped with the lubricants of the period and is not a problem with modern synthetics.The bearing does no...

I've been reading these comments for years now, and it's getting pretty tired. So I think it's about time someone spoke up.I've done some work with Mr. Walker, I know the guy, and most importantly, I've ACTUALLY HEARD HIS TURNTABLE. It is a sonic wor...

David,everything is clear now. What is a "dealer" supposed to say? What does a dealer have to do to "capture" their markets? How does a "dealer" behave on a forum dedicated to applied Sound and not commerce. It should be apparent from ALL of the resp...
