| New TT ideas please Pauly, while I agree with you that there are very well implemented suspended tables I think you have overstated a few things to make your point. The platter is directly coupled to the plinth via the bearing, unless the bearing is of the magnetic/a... | |
| New TT ideas please Hatari,A musician friend of mine introduced me to some of the African jazz music. Abdullah Ibrahim, Dudu Pukwana, Louis Moholo, Chris Mcgregor, Wintson Mankunku, Sipho Mabuse. Really enjoyable music. I think much of it would be hard to find here i... | |

| Maple platforms Oopps. I forgot that I still have the old pictures up. That turntable is now siting on granite instead of the maple butcher block.BTW, I did used hard maple for those butcher blocks.Piedpiper, I should disclose that my experience with spikes was w... | |
| New TT ideas please I'll second the Galibier and also admit to being biased. I'll also through in a recommendation for Teres. I've not heard a Red Point but I'd guess it would be almost a good as Galibier. :)I've owned several Basis tables which are similar to Cleara... | |

I agree that the success of this application will come down to just how well the control loop is imple... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Two completely different Teres animals. Older models can be fitted with the new rim-drive. As I understand it this is trickle down technology from the development of the new Teres direct drive model. From Chris's comments on the improvement it doe... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long ALWAYS great to hear from you, Tom!Best,Dan | |
| The Room IMO, dsp is fine for HT although room treatments will still improve things. Dsp? Never in my 2 channel room! | |
| The Room Amen to acoustic treatments! I couldn't get the performance I do from my L-shaped room without them, though mine are completely DIY at this time.In an effort to squeeze even more out of my system I've been doing a lot of research on this topic lat... | |
| ceramic tip toes I can't tell from the website, do these screw into the base of your 'table? If not, I'd guess that could be the problem with this application.BTW, what are you trying to improve with 'table? | |
| Sutherland PhD Issues This is a feature of the Sutherland so why expect that other components are the cause? I mean, this is a battery powered component that has a device which is supposed to shut off the drain when no current is flowing. Have you had your friend try (... |
