In order to understand the design philosophy of those Goldmunds one need to read about Pierre Lurne . Lurne is physicist who got involved in our hobby as we deed: ''pure passion''. After his work for Goldmund he started his own company called ''Audiomeca''. I owned the Audiomeca J1 which was for me a kind of revelation after Linn LP 12. I hope I will not get a reprimand from Lew, who, for some reasons, dislike Lurne. Strange in some sense because both admire Newton. Anyway all involved parameters in his designs are based on Newton. Even those ''beefies springs'' Fleib has ever seen. In search for even a better TT I moved to Kuzma Stabi Reference which, to my big surprice, looked like a copy of the Audiomeca J1. |
Harold, You obviously misinterprete tonykay's comment. As you deed with my complaint about my cart which you borrowed and destroyd with your ''perfect linear tracker''. You refused any responsibility for the damage you made in my case as you refuse any responsibility for your comments on TT's about which you know nothing. You are a kind of second hand Raul as far as I am concerned. The other members will discovere this sooner or later but anyway for sure. |
Nandric, The Audiomeca tables evolved through the J4 to the Romance, then Belladonna, which I believe was the last. It had the most sophisticated suspension design I've seen. Can't remember where I saw it, but this will give an inkling: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/manufacture/0208/ I too had an LP12 in the mid '80s, but eventually replaced it with a Goldmund. I was a set-up person for Linn and liked the table, but it ran about 1% fast and I was addicted to the presentation. Getting used to "correct" speed was a revelation, but I did not use the Goldmund linear arm because it seemed too high maintenance. In an ultimate sense, any belt drive suspended table where the platter/arm move independently of the motor, is compromised. Looking at the diverse opinions here, it seems no different than other vintage equipment requiring set-up skill and some ingenuity. Regards, |
