| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Hi Jeremy 72, I deed find the 'source'. NB a countryman ofmy. But the motor in casu is the Orgine Live DC . More expensive then the whole 160 S. I am using the 160 S in an second system and think that those AC motors are ok.Regards, | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System This method is very old actually. One first produce the so called 'state of the art' with a pricetag nobody can afford and than the trickle down models which 'promisse', say, 90% of the technology implemented in the 'state..'. The money was suppos... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Hi Jeremy 72, I was not able to find this dc motor for the160 Super on the site you provided. However I deed try Origine Live dc motor on my(then) Linn LP-12. If I remember well +/- 500 GBP. Well despite of all the prease in HIFI Magazines to my m... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul, There may be some incosistency between your statement that 'every single...item design deserve our respect' and your agreement with me that (only) 3 belts on this TT make this TT to expensive. So we both are,I think, entitled to ask at ... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Halcro, I think that the most people are 'context oriented'. Ie 'art and beauty' have some bondaries regarding the question what one will 'recognise' a such.I myself never thought about tonearms in this 'context'.But the FR-64S 'awaked' in me... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Apogee Scintilla is the best speaker I have ever heard.The only problem was the very low impendance. There seems to be some Greek producer (Omega?)who try to rivive thislegende. The real problem of Apogee was the patent issuewith Magnepan. No way ... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Jeremy 72, The suspension of all belt driven Thorens consists of 3 springs (by Linn the steel-plate is part of the suspension).

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System For this kind of money I would insist on 4 belts at least.Regards, | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Strange that nobody mentioned TD 160 Super. This one was/ishighly regarded in Europe and considered 'the best' (theReference not included) of them all. I use this one in mysecond system for testing purposes.Regards, | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Tobes, I need to 'shoot' at you. I understand the aestetical part of your statement but the Breuer is not a 'simple' tonearm. On the contrary. This tonearm as wellas the sibling Sumiko MDC 800 are the perfect illustrationhow looks can be dece... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Thucham, You and Marlene Ditrich have of course different experience. My point however was that you both are/were able to spend a huge amount of money for your respective hobbys. The most people are not able to do this.Then my assumption that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In_shore, There is no obligation to read the post of theHigh Priest of verbal punishment. Nor any obligation to read whatever. | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? Dear Halcro, You and Dertonarm are our 'fire -eaters' or'war -horses'. Never heard about fear? I mentioned somewhere that among the most contra-productive rules the oldest was 'de gustibus... non disputandum est'. Howevereven Mozart needed to lear... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions Jeremy 72, You abviously recognised the origin of LP-12.I stated 'the best Thorens' that I know. There is no question about that the bearing, the platter and the suspension of Lp 12 is better than by any Thorens. BtW the steel plate by LP 12 is th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear David, I have no idea about dimensions but Lukatschek,the owner designer by Benz, is experimenting with short(er) cantilever designs. My Ruby 3S has a shorter cantilever than Ruby 2.Regards, |
