The ultimate turntable would have a very light platter that allows a teflon bearing without too much wear off and a DSP-controlled piezo motor that can introduce arbitrary speed deviations to overlay the speed irregularities of tape recorders and cut...

I thought about this for many years... but, to make the story short:I agree with that idea for Loudspeaker manufactures, this makes a bit sense, but even here you will have experiences, which will make you die 10 years earlier.Avant-Garde for example...

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,...

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...

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 ...

Same person, same show, TW turntable.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhEVL9rnwtQIf he is stopping the platter I'd have guessed that the belt must be slipping on the motor pulley while it is stalled. These turntables don't appear to be using 'slip' mat...

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 ...

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 choose to use for that? ...

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....

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...

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...

A related point: isn't it odd that few are offering digitized renderings of rare and important pieces of vinyl commercially, perhaps played through a selection of parameter variations on some very high quality turntable? Given that quality vinyl play...

I think digital source components are the most sensitive to powerline garbage. They should all be designed to run off batteries. In terms of sensitivity I would rank components like this: 1. Digital Source 2. Solid State Preamp 3. Solid State Amp ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]I heard this TT, it was magnificent, almost no coloration to speak of, dead dead quiet. Of course it wasn't plugged in and there was no tonearm or cartridge yet but man I loved the sound! Really whatnthe hell is everyon...

LBJ,
I do not think that the idea of Water Tower is good as we would need to change the TT speed. Also, I think the verso is necessary for us as liquid has different viscosity with temperature and we need somehow to compensate it. What I found inspi...

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 ...

That becomes almost fan. As I was informed by Michael Fremer:
“It [Continuum] is beautifully built, designed based on science and high technology and has proven to be ultra-reliable during the time I've had it here. In fact, I bought mine at conside...

With great plessure and a deserved sense of appreciation I opened today the Stereophile and learned Continuum turntable was pushed by Michael Fremer to the “Product of the year”. I would leave aside even theoretical bogusness of the “Product of the Y...

I think it is quite helpful to have some information about VTA in general.In the 50's there was no cutting standard, that means, every Label did cut their records the way they wanted ( the angle for Mercury, RCA LS, Decca etc. are all different). At ...

In a way you can write some positive / negative about nearly every Design out there. The Micro 5000 & 8000 are 20 years old, they have 2 weak features- a Platter which rings- no suspensionBUT, when we look at their latest units, we can see that M...
