Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Ultimate Turntable in Analog Playback  220 Replies 
Coops, do you have any personal observations or ideas about the ultimate TT, or are you already invested and just checking my credentials?  I would like to know your thoughts, too, based on your own personal listening habits, preferences an...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Ultimate Turntable in Analog Playback  220 Replies 
Guy, that is a VERY interesting observation about your sense that belt drive speed is "cyclical".  I agree that belt/heavy problems are more "long term" versus DD "short term".  So in this sense I suppose it's pick your poison.&nb...

My EMT930 has a moderate platter. 3kg I guess. I guess the only isolation of the idler/motor vs. platter is the idler's rubber (and to small extent motor's rubber suspension too). It's quality is crucial and it has to be changed from time to time.EMT...

December Stereophile just got here, featuring MF review/promo of the new SAT XD1 DD TT. Setting aside the cost and the hyperbole, it actually seems to be something that could get the job done. A few years ago I was still waiting to hear a convincing ...

Hi Guy,Thanks very much for providing me your insights on the SP10.I have to confess when I initially read your comments I could not help but be astounded that a person involved with a Brit belt driven, light weight, suspended turntable would be usin...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Idler Drive - Rumbling Into The Future? in Analog Playback  27 Replies 
I have owned and played with a couple of "classic" idler-driven TTs, but I was very young at the time, and incapable of pushing the design then, even if I'd wanted to.  As it happened, I abandoned the idler TTs for a belt-driven Rek-O-Kut "broadc...

Since no one replied, I thought of narrowing down the problem. I need to make a horn that will cover up to 600Hz. I will guess that it will be 150 to 600Hz. But better yet 90 to 600Hz. Is this posssible. Do I need to make a compression chamber? Do I ...

[quote user="manisandher"] And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my RME FF800 and not with my Weiss AFI1. With the FF800 (slaved to the Pacific), changing the Pacific's wordclock does indeed change the speed of any audio/vide...
