I usually do not do those “fetish trips” but here I think it might be educational for Western readers as it is slightly different. I got an email with a like to a clip that you might like. It is Russian-made turntable Korvet -038, from which I ...

I never did see or hear one of these but I'd be interested to know how constant they were able to make it.

Great minds think along the same lines. A couple of days ago, I was thinking of a fluid driven turntable platter. What I was thinking was to have a plinth with spiral grooves cut into it. The platter (perhaps with radial groove...

The lower bass configuration in my room is a bit interesting below is the bass diagram (under 50Hz)

The subject of this head is not the Continuum Turntable but rather the little frighten Moron with sentimental name Michael Fremer. It is important to note that Michael Fremer is not just a Moron own problems but the persons who is with his proactive ...

Visiting the Paris Hifi Show a couple of times in the late 80's I saw a turntable with a heavy platter floating in a bath of exposed!!! mercury. The people running the demo did not look well (grey pallor, lacking hair) and looked even worse the secon...

Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...

Anyone who has more than a superficial experience with better turntables knows that speed stability is not the subject that civilized people shall even mention. Any turntables shall stabilize speed of disc rotation at the point that it is not au...

If you read my site and are accustomed to some off the wall ideas that sometimes popup to my heard then you did not heard about the latest one, the most moronic of all. I have to preface it by saying that I do not looking for any TT improvements. I ...

I got today an interesting emails from a site visitor pointing me to UK guy who user FFT analyses to evaluate stability of TT palters. This is very interesting as it gives very objective data about performance platter, suspicion, bearing, and dri...

Don't we always go through this same discussion regardless if it is an amplifier, speaker, turntable, DAC (wine, cigars, frying pans)? Don't the arguments keep repeating themselves? Don't we all agree that IF a turntable NEEDS to cost 125K that somet...

The idiots write the things and have are clueless what the write. It is time for another manufacture to remind that he is still alive and to initiate another round of cash collection for his customers. How they do it? Of cause by introduction of ...

Well, I think the larger then rational mass of “silent” TT platter eliminates all other moments. If you have a 150 lead-like platter then would it be direct drive, belt drive, or pinch roller would be absolutely irrelevant. The moment of inertia of t...
