| Stylus Drag Dover,If belt drive DC motor driven TT's use a closed loop, why do Halcro and I observe that the speed changes on the Raven AC TT with the needle in the groove?Andrew | |
| Stylus Drag I assert that small changes in speed caused by stylus drag can be heard. Frogman is heading in the right direction.I would also agree with Tonywinsc that pace/rythm is another way to gauge the effect of speed stability. In my experience, a table w... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I would like to qualify my statment above:"Thats why most DC motor driven TTs slow down with stylus drag. "I'm referring to DC-motor drives TT's with an open-loop control system. This means that the actual speed is not compared to the set-point ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Here are some of my own observations and hypothesis:1) Regarding how important platter mass is for speed stability. IMHO you cannot assume a higher platter mass is better independent of drive mechanism. In other words, the platter mass and drive m... | |
| Stylus Drag Hi,As this is verging on speed stability, i'll post some new comments on the turntable speed accuracy thread.Andrew | |
| Tokyo vinyl and audio suggestions I live in Tokyo now and have purchased a lot of jazz and other vinyl here. Check out the Disk Union shops is Shinjuku, , and Shibuya. I've been to most places here and this is by far the best. | |
| Stylus Drag Hi Folks, thanks for your comments so far. Some comments from me:I agree with Halcro that the Raven slows down when the needle hits the groove. I base this on the shift in speed as observed with the KAB strobe disk. So I usually set speed with the... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Empire TT's based on AC motors using belts. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro,In my statement about AC belt driven TT's vs DC motor driven TT, I was meaning belt driven DC TT's, not a DC driven DD.I have no experience with DD's yet. If I get a timeline will try to post some results.Atmasphere,Which Empire TT are you ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I agree with Atmasphere. Turntables with excellent soundstaging (and resolution of fine detail, dynamics and bass detail)are signtaures of TT's with excellent speed control.In my experience, belt drive TT's with AC moters with ample torque and low... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Very Groovy.... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Robsker, Calloway,I agree with Jonathan. Another way of saying it is that since the speaker is downstream of the electronics, if the setup with excellent upstream electronics sounds exceptional then that is testament to the transparency of the spe... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? SyntaxI heard you have the new phantom 2!supreme. Having had the phantom 2, can you give us your impressions so far? Andrew | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Agee on the Bardo. Interesting concepts in that design | |
| Acoustic Signature vs.Nottingham Turntables I used to own the AS Mambo. An excellent turntable. Very very good design. I haven't heard the Nott's but also a good design from a motor standpoint. In my experience, low torque AC motors is the way to go. The important advantage I see the AS hav... |
