| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? "This is typically after every race and I doknow that the forces acting on the supension are greater than that of the pulley system acting on the side of the platter and it's spindle/shaft bearing."You misunderstand what we are talking about when ... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? The magnets are very large in diameter. The shaft/sleeve (bearing) clearance is minimal. You can watch the platter rotate, and it doesn't move up and down at all. Different record weights affect platter height imperceptibly, and if it actualy does... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? I have a Platine. Absolutely love it. I like the solidity of the music that flows from it. And it is certainly a set and forget machine. I know lots of other TTs use massive platters w/o any special bearing support, and they seem to be fine like t... | |
| Speaker cables being pricier than main speakers "Do you think a 10K speaker will sound best with $100 cable?"No, didn't say that.But If I had a $10K budget to spend on speakers/cables, how would I split that up? $9900 for the speakers and $100 for the cables will give you better sound than $700... | |

| Dynaudio Center upgrade Fabulous speaker. I use it as a center channel in a trinaural set up with C4 sides. | |
| Verdier with or without the steel ball "For the spindle you also have to find the exact limit height where the magnets don't support the platter anymore and where the effort is done by the ball itself."This is not the correct procedure for using the ball according to Verdier. The ball ... | |
| Verdier with or without the steel ball My Platine is set up without the ball bearing. Without it, the platter can be bounced up and down on the supporting magnetic field (the field acts as a spring). The platter does not rock in any way, it rotates absolutely flat. When playing, there ... | |
| Upgrading? Sophia/Dynaudio/Revel/Genesis 6.1 ? Buy a pair of used Confidence C4's. I did, and find them to be just wonderful. There is one used pair on AudiogoN in rosewood for $9200 OBO, I believe. | |
