| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? I propose that Ralph be enrolled on the calendar of saints. His restraint is supernatural - a miracle thrice renewed!!Yes indeed...because Ralph can, with the same conviction that he demonstrates his turntable theories....can postulate that OTL va... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? We found that by installing a brace between the the mount for the platter bearings and the base of the arm that there was further benefit. Now this is illuminating and perhaps needs an explanation from you about what you believe could possibly be ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Since the cartridge is essentially the interface, its stylus must make up the difference between the motion of the pillar and that of the surface of the platter."The motion of the pillar"......There you go again. Nobody is claiming that a "moving ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Pani,Perhaps you should take note of an audio designer who actually designs and sells tonearms and turntables.....Someone like Frank Kuzma who makes the 4 Point and Airline tonearms and whose top-of-the-line turntable uses a separate armpod.I’d be... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? I've explained it twice in this thread already. What part of my prior explanations are unclear? The 'noise' is actually introduced when the arm and platter bearings are able to move in different planes and rates. This is what happens when a separa... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Sorry Atmasphere,I missed the point about the Triplanar and the Technics 1200.I don't see how attaching the tonearm to the plinth can affect the 'noise'?Surely the 'noise' is a function of the isolation, the tonearm pod mass, fixity, density and m... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? I'm not sure that the cutting process tests can be transposed to the playback field.After all.....you use direct drive and linear-tracking arm in the cutting process but you prefer to use belt-drive and pivoted arm for your playback.Seems counter-... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? As Fleib writes.....which tables have you measured?This would seem like excellent scientific data and would resolve this argument once and for all.Could you please list all the tables, arms and cartridges and what they were sitting on Atmasphere? ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Interesting ToHo stuff.I was aware of their tonearm pods (as Thuchan has one)...but I never saw their turntable cast-iron supports before.Looks quite similar to my new support 👀http://i.imgur.com/ddKNHVx.jpgInteresting cutting lathe herehttp://i.i... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Theories are great.....I know of tonearm designers who can convince you that Uni-pivots are theoretically superior to gimballed tonearms....But hey....they can both work fine.I know some turntable designers who can convince you that belt-drive hig... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Haha Don....I would rarely talk trash about belt-drives in general as I have one myself and enjoy it immensely ☺️But when they start charging $30 Grand-$200 Grand for gigantic belt drives whose performances can be matched (or bettered) by $1000 we... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? A few weeks ago I saw a TT-101 in the Victor wood base with tonearm and mounting boards for two other arms asking less than $2,000 on HiFiDo. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm, I was speaking generally after hiho posted his interesting (as always) info about Yamaha using Victor/JVC motors and electronics.if you follow HiFiDo you will see that mountains of GT 750s and GT 1000s sell for around $1,000 and GT 2000s are... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I would kill for another of those Yamaha brass and wood record weights.Do you see any of these come up on Yahoo Japan sampsa? | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Great info again hiho, but it only begs the question initially asked....why do the Japanese place more value on turntables made by a company like Yamaha which used the brain-power and production-power of JVC/Victor at the same time as almost ignor... |
