OK, I understand now when you talk about suspension and will translate to "bearing". I don't know if it needs to be the turntable or the stand but something needs to be responsible for isolation. I have heard good things about the vibraplane and wo...

Well, this concept of Defense Mode is good for superficial explanation (or for selling to ourselves own justifications) and I use to use it in past but I do not use it for a few years as unfortunately it is not what it is. The correction of “the wron...

Wavac Audio Lab announced a new amplifier: MD-805MK-II.
http://www.wavac-audio.jp/md805mk2_e.shtml
The amp uses the same idea that I pitched with my “Stands for Super Melquiades” idea – 2 floors with small footprint. The way how ...

Okay... I also downloaded the original Milq SET amplifier PDF and have looked at it in detail as well as the 6-channel adaptation (DSET) and I understand where you're going with it... or so I think. In my particular situation, I've owned two pair of ...

I have a very large collection of 45 triodes.... many brands and varying internal construction. From my humble viewpoint, here's some personal findings on the various types:

Are any who made high-gain phonostages dealt with vibration damping tube sockets? Since I’m thinking not about my next generation of 85dB gain two-stages phonocorrector:

Hello Stringreen,
First, though I do use it, I think the term "time alignment" is a misnomer... We should really be calling it something else.
When you say "Time Allignment has nothing to do with the placement of instruments in an orchestra", y...

[quote user="TonyB"]I disagree. I think it depends on the turntable. If I did not try it on MY turntable, I would not believe. My Verdier uses a DC motor "sloppy" mounted on grommets. The drive is linen thread. I have tried silk, different threads, 1...

Here are some quotes from AA that I found interesting:
Rubber transmits vibration poorly, that's why it's used. Unfortunately this also means that it creates speed variation, mostly due to belt creep (NB I do NOT mean belt slip).
The motor is ...

A couple days back reading the Audio Tekne’s Philosophy Section:

[quote user="hagtech"] Iwas going to ask you about that funny looking damping material. Then you explained it at bottom of post. Very clever to use mouse pads! Lately I've been using cork & buna rubber sheets from McMaster-Carr....

This is terrific information Ulf. Thank you very much. I won't start builing until early december but will post the project here.

I just acquired a Micro RX-1500. Without the platter on, the bearing unit turns very slowly suggesting a highly viscous oil. The spindle turns freely, but the feel to my fingers is like turning a spoon in honey. It undoubtedly will turn much more...

There are 3 thing about which I would like to share my view
1) Air vibrations transmitted to the amp. I do understand
concerns about vibration transmitted over hard surfaces. The vibrations transmitted
over the air? I do not think so. I personal...

JJ,
yes, I got Hal-O dampers a few years ago and I do use them but it would require more say then just “I use” them.
I have them for a long time. I initially bought then to use with 7788 tubes that I am employing as an input tubes in my phonocorr...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I have 2 ULF "boxes"; each has an 18" McCauley 6174.
The enclosures are sealed and each measures 14 cubic feet. They are made from 70mm thick concrete blocks.
Power is from a pair of M1.1 amps (100 Watts each)....
