| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro,Thanks a lot! I was actually waiting to respond until I had some time to really study your results so I wouldn't ask any stupid questions, but all I have done so far was to take a quick look. So, a stupid question.Is the app capable of outp... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I was wondering if someone with two tonearms can do a simple test with the Feikert Android/iphone app. Play the test tone with the first tonearm and begin recording. After some data has been collected, drop the second stylus onto the record and se... | |
| IC wire connections Henry,If you swap components so infrequently, you might want to think about just soldering your ICs directly to the circuit boards. This way you will eliminate some solder joints (if your RCA jacks are connected to the circuit board with a piece o... | |
| AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please... I say go with the most solid rack you can with lots of mass. That way if you need to couple some components to the rack you can and if you need to isolate other components you can do that, too (using your goo pads). I decided to build a rack simil... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Also note that even if your speed is off by 0.1Hz, it will take 945 minutes of running time for your platter to gain/lose one rotation. Nothing against the timeline, just that your turntable would have to run for almost a day with the timeline to ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Note the almost perfect Mean Frequency Response against the recorded 3150Hz and the impressive .01% speed deviation.It makes you wonder if you're measuring the speed stability of your turntable, the lathe that cut the test record, or both. Perhaps... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm The original Timeline flashes once every 1.8 seconds (1 revolution). The latest version, which is at least about a year old, flashes eight times every 1.8 seconds.Tonywinsc,I don't know how much faith I have in the accuracy of an iphone microphone! | |
| Does vinyl have a sound? Sometimes I hear a diamond sound from my stylus, an aluminum sound from my tonearm, a wood sound from my shelf, and a plastic sound from my cartridge body.OK, I'm not serious. The point I'm trying to make is that if you only think you hear it some... | |
| Thiel Acquired by Private Equity Firm The article mentioned that Gary was a long time Thiel employee. I though he was a fairly new employee?So who will be designing the speakers now? After Jim passed, they came out with the CS2.4SE which is a CS2.4 with boutique caps and some cosmetic... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup, thanks for sharing the data. The question then becomes: how do the different flow rates affect the sound when PSI remains the same? Did you notice differences in the sound with different pumps with the regulator allowing the same PSI?Frog... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I just did the tests with a 60 gallon air compressor from 2 to 14 psi. The setup was:60 gallon air compressor @ 120 psi>water separator/filter (5.0 micron)>pressure regulator @ 25 psi>coalescing filter (.01 micron)>pressure regulator&g... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I just finished a flow rate test to see how much air my ET2 and ET2.5 arms flow at various pressures with different pumps (Wisa and ET/Takatsuki). I'm also going to do the test with an unlimited supply of air (60 gallon air compressor) from 1 psi ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman,Thanks a lot! I have the heavy version, then. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the light and heavy magnesium wand? | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Peter,Who cares whether it passes code or not? The point is to see if there's an improvement in eliminating power cords from the equation. It's a test. But, if I hard wired my components and it made my system sound better, I would deal with code w... |
