I came across a used TL-0 for sale yesterday (black version - looks nicer than current in my eyes). I listened to it through some 20k Accuphase amps and B&W 800D speakers, and the sound was very poor. Fortunately it sounded even worse when the TL...

[quote user="zako"]It is not unusual for famous people to use there name for ENDORSEMENT,,SPORTS MEN HAVE MADE MILLIONS that way.. AMPEX used Frank Senatra..JBL used Benny Goodman...Its easy mony standing next to a product for photo Op and getting p...

Yes, Guy, thanks. The images are making waves for day among Russian audio sites. Unfortunately in Russia expensive playback is a part of “successful mad room décor” and prominent Russian love to pose wearing ridiculously expensive watches, behind the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] What however I fell is shameful in the images above, besides bad taste, is that fact that a president of a country and prime-minister of a county did not find own country audio to make the pictures. Presidents do not plug ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, start to record and you will love this processor even more.[/quote]I'd love to give this a go... I just need something worth recording!I have a good FM antenna on my roof and a half-decent tuner in the guise of a Ro...

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...

The 112's on my amplifier were made in 1926. I think they sound good but I actually chose them because I wanted low gain. Regardless of that there is a certain different pleasure to be gained from playing modern recordings using tubes made over 80 y...

[quote user="drdna"]G: This is the smallest in terms of space requirements. Slippage can be adjusted by moving the rotors further from the turntables (North-South on diagram) or moving the belts to the opposite side of the rotors. A...

I find this project so fascinating. I find it particularly interesting because one of my first experiences of good sound involved a field coil driver. Many years ago my grandfather bought an old hammond chord organ(predates the b3 and other...

I was sorry to read the humorless vitriolic response by Michael Fremer, whose prose I had enjoyed years back. But he is such an easy target, well-remembered for such angry responses in the past.His response is reflective of the change on the de...

Michael Fremer keeps sending me emails, though I do not think I invited him. I suggested him at the very beginning that to contact me was a bad thing for him as I operate in the very different dimension that he, with his enslaved narcissistic complex...

Mr. Framer, the reviewer extraordinaire of Stereofiles magazines went to Australia for his vacations. “My God, those poor Australians live in a complete ignorance - Mr. Framer said, - and I’m confident that they desperately need a help form such an e...

I think that I've never experienced a pair of speakers placed to achieve the DPoLS, but once I had mine quite close since the "sound" was something special, which trascended the features of individual sounds and helped to make music an experience qui...

I was involved many years ago (1985), in the design and manufacture of a 'low mass' turntable called the Voyd. This suspended design used 3 papst external rotor synchronous motors to drive a very light acrylic (and later polycarbonate) platter. The i...

A turntable that is attractive to Morons that just so happens to kill them off...HA! Reminds me of the tantilizing glow of a bug zapper. ZZZAP! There goes another one.It seems that a liquid driven/suspended platter would have to oppe...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

i will upload a pic.i have no problem with an additional channel!1.)i dont have to build it right now, the 60hz-horn with the s2 mf and 2405 hf will sound quite nice(at least i hope so;-) and i have something to build on.2.)i prefer to do things by m...

Hi all... yes, a clean power is paramount for a clean sound... I run my turntable and pre-amp on batteries and the difference in sound is amazing, while I never used outboard filtering on amps, BUT I have a public mains transformer at 10 meters from ...

I am faced with remodeling a bit. I started out with all my equipment on an Arcici Lead Balloon rack and two speakers, which was nice and simple. The mono SE-DHT tube amplifiers I built are now on either side. I recently have come into po...

Well the whole write up i just wrote disappeared. In one sense that isn't all that different from my experience of the Festival Son et Image here in Montreal yesterday. i'll be quick this time in the hopes that my post will get through. bett-er rooms...

Why is Acoustic Solid so interesting to me? Well, it should be to most when you read stuff like a $1,600 Black Wood Classic model can beat out a $5,500 Super Scoutmaster model from VPI, and a $4,000 Solid One can compete with a TW Acus...

Romy,
I wouldn't assume the ring material in the tube dampers to be sonically irrelevant. Polymer materials are viscoelastic, so should contribute to the damping effect, while a spring-like metal ring would have a more resonant behavior. In any ca...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is interesting that you call $30.000 plus dollars "super expensive". A few days ago somebody sent me a link to a review of a new TechDAS turntable with a price tag of $380.000. I wonder what kind adjectives would you ...

I think most plastics have trouble with UV, and some fungi are pretty tough, anyway. The "idea" for me is to put the LP in a machine, turn it on, and return soon to a clean, dry LP that's ready to play on my turntable in my high-demands hi-fi system...

I think I finally found a turntable I am interested to make an extra effort to hear, VYGER.
I, of course, have no idea of how it sound and I can't really say why I am interested on that particular turntable. This ma...

Yes. It depends on what someone wants (and what can follow)- i just want to listen to a record / musicThis can be done with a cheap Rega TurntableThe Problem starts, when you try a "Upgrade" , hear a difference and - now very dangerous- you ask yours...

1. The less we have to fill in for the brain to reconstruct the original event, the better it will sound. This has been proven by psychologists for all of our senses. The closer to reality the sensation is, the less the brain has to work, the more re...

[quote user="Paul S"]This actually LOOKS like a well-thought-out TT. Too bad the "review" is so over-awed/fawning. I can hardly read it. My suspicions rise uncontrollably and cloud my thinking as the cost-is-no-consideration "solutions" are meticulo...

I you play the video full screen and place the cursor at the top or the bottom edge of the platter, it seems clear that the the platter wobbles since they go up and down synchronously and the upper edge of the turntable chassis is not moving at all....

1- Romy, a $200 microscope was shit 30 years ago when I bought mine and is still a piece of shit today. Manufacturing 5-10 SX-8000 type tables a year is inexpensive, its when you go to 50-100 units a year, AF1 market, that cost of operations escalate...
