[quote user="N-set"] The only purely theoretical point which is intriguing for mein the whole multiple drive idea is whether one can achieve a uniform "floating" rotation: the forces perpendicular to the spindle balance out and the spindle rotates wi...

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 ...

I think, Romy's Site is the best site about that discussion worldwide. Not because it shows you how to build a top turntable, it shows very clearly that the knowledge about what-is-responsible-for-what is simply no longer existing. It was replaced co...

It seems like most audio "auditioning" is of the hopeful sort, where we can in the best cases "hear something" that attracts us, and we can perhaps use experience to try to "intuit" whether we might be able to "extract" and use the particular compone...

I got from web someone’s pictures of how that dam Russky arm was looking in the turntable. I think some of you would be looking and wondering…
Anyhow, 3 year later after spending some time with this arm I found myself to run this arm very lit...

The "best" TT I ever heard - by a mile - was the old Versa Dynamics, but the performance quickly deteriorated, apparently from water vapor messing up the "straight-line" arm function. Oh, well.Mass is definitely part of the answer. ...

[quote user="SOS "]First the other customers of PP that are having a hum problem are NOT my customers and use different components than I. Second it is not just the turntable motor but also get the hum from the phono stage when plugged in. Again plug...

[quote user="oxric"]I fail to see the utility, as I have always done, of opinions, approaches or theories which make some dogmatic assumption based on limited experience with the said device. So for your opinion, which seems to deny that the Living V...

When approach my shelf with opera records and look at the boxes I mostly see colors and I do not mean the color of the boxes… To me all operas have well-defined, very individual colors: form the purplo-neurotic colors of Mussorgsky, the magenta-shaky...

I did find replacement tubes OK (online), just not locally, like I had hoped. I have now recieved, installed and tested all new tubes but the 6N6Ps, which have been delayed in St. Petersberg by Christmas mail jamb-up. ...

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...

[quote user="Stitch"]… they have 2 weak features - a Platter which rings- no suspension[/quote] No arguments here BUT how the Platter Ringing and No Suspension impacts sound? I mean we can take a hummer, smack the platter and observe ringing. However...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We are at severe devaluation of reference points and nowadays any Moron with a rudimental knowledge of HTML and a few vocal cronies can become a “reputed manufacturer”. [/quote]Hi Romy, it is even worse. Based on the high n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="guy sergeant"] I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, ...

[quote user="rowuk"]This is one of the aspects of being a "conductor". Very immediate sound, little early reflections or concert hall - everything is "overly" dynamic. When we compare this to being in the audience, each instrument group behaves in di...

I think that picking a DAC is like picking speakers - regardless of the price, we don't know what we have until we get there. I do not think that it is possible to compare digital and analog playback forms. With a turntable we have as many choices (g...

Yes, Utopia was demoed in a large room. However:
1) Amplification: and yes, Boulder amplifiers were used. Good observation, but I don't understand why you think they would be a bad choice. I thought they quite complemented the Gra...

Not too many of the cheaper horns have really interested me so far, but I think that we here should help others with this as it could better help them have some horns and horn interest in general. I haven't payed too much attention to much ...

Quick reply. Would the ultimate turntable also take into account mis-centred records like the Nakamichi TX-1000?Remember it had a sensor arm that rose up out of the chassis to read how far 'out' the centre of the record was.I had one...nice to watch....

[quote user="jam"] (maybe another RX-5000 as a
flywheel might work?) If not set up correctly(which can be a pain) it can cause
problems. [/quote]
In my case use the RX-5000 as a flywheel did not work. I
mean it “worked” well from mechanical per...

[quote user="rowuk"]I guess there are many types that come here to GoodSoundClub. Some to "brag", some to "share", some to "police", some just to learn.
I guess if your turntable is so important to you, then you could at least tell us ho...

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...

Hi Romy,Ok why be so specific. I don't want to be seen defending participants in the audio industry. However, why stop there? What about the morons who are interested in audio and whose money keeps the industry morons in employment. 99% of those peop...
