NSET, Sorry for any confusion. It seems clear from Romy's experiences and others that the electrical line is a transportation system that lets everything ride for free to any station and back. Yes the SDS uses a quartz crystal oscillator and digital...

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...

To me the problem with this it is not about that specific turntable but presence of this turntable and presence of the Framer as class action case which defeat a notion of public service. I do not advocate this or other design and I do not advoca...

I always feel that whatever I say isn’t personal enough.
[quote user="markus46"] This is in no way a criticism, but English is obviously not your first language. Your posts are littered with spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors which m...

This Christmas I wish for 100 hours in every day, so I finally have enough time to take the EAR phono preamplifiers, the second turntable, the tonearms, the capacitors, tubes and everything else and put it together. And maybe even fix up the secondar...

Wow:Looks like a trip to Boston coming on for the big guy once the snow is gone.Very interesting doings there Romy!Your cat is looking well, and the amps are eye candy. I can only assume the sound equals the appearance.Time will tell, hopefully I'll ...

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...

Seriously, those rear firing woofers (with bass reflex, driven by SET and only internal passive speaker covers) could be one point worth ridicule. The length of the cables, and size and probable acoustic deadness of the room, might be others. There...

I'm impressed that you could tell. I thought the system it was playing through was one of the poorer ones. But the new turntable is expensive & shiny. I'm sure they'll sell plenty regardless....

The only valuable foe myself history lesson I took after Jonathan Weiss visit was Jonathan’s quote. It was where we were sitting in his listening rooms and I was making one of few very fruitless attempts to explain to h...

enjoy_the_music wrote "but would it be easier to use a device like the old Audio Technica AT-666?"I had one of those, and it was horrible. You need to stop the platter, attach a hose, pump (manually if I remember correctly), detach the hose.Mine woul...

I saw one up at the Newport show a few weeks ago. It was underneath some ancient turntable (something out of the 1960's looked like). As I recall the sound in that room was not the worst I heard that day but that's not saying much! I will sat that ...

Well, Paul, a majority of audio Morons is that in their infinite chase for a “better” turntables approach the subject of turntables’ assessment using fundamentally faulty techniques. Let pretend, juts for sake of illustration, that a pric...

It was 15 years ago. Michael Framer was sitting in his home, taping scotch over a small white box, crying and cursing God. “Oh, Gods who run Roma?!” – wept Framer – without knowing the true meaning of his question.
“Gods what did I do to upset you?...

That is a great Picture.Well, the Audiophile world waited so long for these ultimate turntables. Their Design is well proven :-) all over the years and has a strong Fangroup. Design back to Basics.http://tempuri.org/tempuri.html...

[quote user="zztop7"]People forget that their floor, subfloor, & other associated structural pieces connected to & part of the listening room will have to EQUAL the standards of the Verdier. Do NOT count on your contractor no matter what he ...

For some reason I've remembered this old idea of Romy and decided to check itfrom the physics point of view. Unfortunately it seems it will not work:the momet of intertia of a fluid in a vessel is with a resonable accuracy zero with respect to the fl...

The normal audiophile has a problem when he marries first and wants to add a good Stereo System later.One of my friends did it right, he bought his system first and married later, before he did that he showed all to his girlfriend and said "You know,...

Easier to make might be a device like a record clamp you can attach to an existing turntable platter. It should be easy to do the experiment by trying a weight on the turntable platter:
1. a solid weight
2. an equal weight container of viscous liq...

I have a micro seiki dd-30, and cannot find the headshell. My 20 yr old son has taken an interest in vinyl, and I would like to make the turntable usable for him! My question is, is there any other headshell that can be used on this table? I cannot...

I shot a Pic from a Turntable, the owner bought a brand-new Ortofon cartridge this week. When I looked at the pic I saw that the angle is not the angle Framer recommends. It is not a super sharp picture, because the focus adjustments were on a differ...

Way back when I was an undergraduate, we studied about baby ducklings that some maniac made to follow a "surrogate mother" around a moving turntable. To make a horrifying story short, the "study" concluded that the harder the ducklings were made to ...

I saw this turntable while over at the show in Munich. It is called Air Force 1. Allegedly there are Micro Seiki people behind it. There might be some truth in that.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/P1010101.jpg[/IMG]A Micro f...

Romy, this is my first post on this forum and I am also on the verge of buying my first ever turntable. Have you ever heard a Rega or Origin Live tonearm ? Do you have an opinion about them ? I am looking to add a 12" tonearm to my TT and looking to ...

The arm pictured above is 26" long IIRC. It was made as a joke, as in who's got the longest. It is not a commercial product. I guess the bending modes would be interesting.I believe the Horo turntable is more about aesthetics than about sound....

The arm pictured above may be made by Rossner & Sohn (as is the turntable) but is definitely a good deal longer than 12". One wonders when the benefits of better geometry become outweighed by the reduction in stiffness/structural integ...

Thanks for sharing, Roman... I remember I fell in love for Jaqueline Du Prè since I purchased, eons ago, a double record-set on EMI... she was so easy and elegant, so innocent and... the playing: WOW!I guess tomorrow will be Du Prè's Day on my turnta...
