| Turntable sibilance Can I suggest you get some shims and sort out azimuth | |
| Turntable sibilance I recall reading somewhere that Rega arms have problems handling the energy imparted on a moving coil (whatever that means) - on the other hand some reckon it is the only genuinely good bearing out there. There are several good rewire kits out the... | |
| Turntable sibilance What tonearm cable are you using? You may sibilance as a result of earth grounding/lack/inadequacy thereof.Have a listen to a Townshend Trough turntable and they cut out sibilance almost entirely which makes you think that you have lost out on tre... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi LewmJust to give all parties an update. I have gone with a bit of a balanced mix of compromises so to speak in my grand plans. But just so as to whet a bit of your appetites I have ordered 6 pieces of aluminium thus far - they are to be chamfer... | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? Audio Note make cartridges in the UK | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi AigengaIn all fairness I am not a fan of armpods as I think they are a bit clumsy and add-on in my view as opposed to those being part of the plinth. Likewise forming part of the whole plinth/turntable just strikes me as a heck of a lot tidier ... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi CTNot a believer in magic - not even david copperfield? paul daniels?I guess a bit of experience may help as well...LOL | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi ctI have read the articles by catsquirrel. They are theoretically quite sound, but there is a big BUT - that lenco is the only plinth(less) deck he has made and propagation changes with mass. In other words theory and no practice...All said and... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Shifting away from the pod part of this thread, I am wondering whether to put together a panzerholz (clearaudio style) sandwich, or even try a different sandwich such as using acrylic instead? What say you? | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi CTI just love Parrots and Bees - nothing too sophisticated about that. When I use my real name I have always had some bizarre report from Hong Kong telling me about starving children needing $1000 usd in 24 hours to a foreign bank account.Sorry... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Dear CT 0517you say:I used to say to myself ...hmmmm looks like a hole / space there. Wonder what would happen if I filled it ? When an audiophile based on theory alone, said don't do that, its not right because of xxxxxxx, but showed no real dire... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi CT0517Hijack the thread all you like - ;)You said a few interesting things about the Platine, because the base is very much made of a similar material, by the sound of it, as the Technics Obsidian Bases or the Sony Reisinamic Plinths - both of ... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Halcro and Lewm - it's like those two old men on the muppets - always arguing - probably really the best of friends/enemies??? Funny thing is that both write about some of the best posts on this forum from my reading.What Halcro says then explains... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables HiI must say that I am not a big fan of arm pod mounts for turntables because then you are reliant on the platform to couple the platter cartridge arm loop - I am sure some will outcry at what I have said, but I think arm pods are quite a clumsy s... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi RichardI said the SME's are skeletal on the basis that they are quite open as you observed. I must say I do quite like SME's. My problem with the double deck turntables is that dust can gather - however clean your room -trust me I have one such... |
