| Any rock fans out there? Well, considering that all the LPs I bought between 1970 & 2000 were never cleaned, I decided to play "13", without cleaning, just for the hell of it. :)Manufacturing details first : - Excellent centricity (holes not significantly off-centre)-... | |
| Hartvig TT signature vs TW Black Knight Good choice in the "Supreme" by the way! :)All the best.... | |
| Hartvig TT signature vs TW Black Knight If you are serious about the Hartvig, Dreamaudio, I would be concerned about the geometric stability of a ~2cm thick cantilevered acrylic armboard?First thing I would ask is if they do it in aluminium or bronze. There's more than enough damping wi... | |
| Any rock fans out there? Actus, you are most welcome.I got my copy for an extremely reasonable pre-order price. (Given that it's vinyl, it might be harder to get one later?)If it all goes pear-shaped you can always claim a refund?All the best.... | |
| Any rock fans out there? Hi Actus,You asked about the vinyl quality?Can't answer the sound quality component of the question as mine was still sealed in its plastic wrapper :)However, I took it out and inspected it and it looks a very nice production. Content is split ove... | |
| Any rock fans out there? My copy of "13" was delivered yesterday. :)You beat me to it Captain.....I was just about to report their No.1 success. :)Incredible that a group of aged 60+ heavy metal rockers can achieve this.Their contemporaries must be thinking hard?!?!? | |
| Magical Moving MC Cartridge Thanks JF :)This hobby of ours likes to spring these "little surprises" every now and then... :)After this experience I found myself idly wondering how "non-magnetic" the grades of stainless steel in certain turntable platters/screws/centre spindl... | |
| Anyone had power supply failure with an AVID TT? This is a problem that seems to afflict many respected turntable brands.Like Gundam I also suspect static as a possible cause. Several years ago my supply started behaving erratically and, suspecting static, I routinely started discharging myself ... | |
| Any rock fans out there? You're in good company, Captain :)It's not out here yet (UK) but I've pre-ordered mine too.Glad to hear your welcome critique.Interesting that Tony, Ozzy & Geezer stated on their website that they've developed enough material for several more ... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic "This is a cardinal sin of bad belt-drive turntable design. (The commercial product analog is to use a suspended chassis bearing the platter and tonearm whilst the motor drive is fixed to the inert plinth.) This results in some of the most obvious... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Dear Syntax,I appreciate your kind feedback. Clearly you are interested in increasing knowledge and capability. That was a Lyra "gorefest" you had on display there(!)This Thread has given me pause for thought even in my comparisons of turntable ma... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Many thanks Sunnyboy... :) :)Had a superb extended vinyl session on Friday and attended "Record Store Day" yesterday.:D | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Dear Pani,Regarding your experiences with timing errors and PRat? There is another, less obvious, explanation.If one loudspeaker displays a few db channel imbalance allied to frequency irregularities, e.g. due to the speaker-room relationship, i... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Dear Syntax,Are you suggesting then that Timeline is more successful with DD than BD?If so doesnt surprise me.If I recall the interviews correctly, TWs original design brief was to make a BD almost as accurate as DD?Im not sure if he was prop... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Speaking as a Raven One user, I do not feel the Brinkmann is any less well made. Indeed, Ive often admired the manufacturing quality of their product and tend to see them as a reference for good manufacturing.One of the items that has emerged fro... |
