[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, I think you a bit overly glorify the notion of "precision instruments" that we all are a bit taken in high-end audio. If you go to a good hobby shop and by a microscope for 200 dollars, or lawn mower for $300, or a k...

I would like to note that my disagreement with David about his and other justification of TT high price does not imply that some of high price TT are very good performers, and it is highly possible that the new Micro AF1 is a very good sounding TT, i...

Going in circles is bad for your health. Just like every other thread on expensive gear, the name calling starts where the good reason stops.Regardless of how we calculate, 100K is artificial because there are people willing to pay it. It has NOTHIN...

A lot of assertions are made about this being better or that being the same. In the absence of assessment (and I don't even mean DBT tests, just pooling of expert judgments) this game never stops. There is not a standardized system that can be used t...

[quote user="rowuk"]Can we get back into the "ultimate" turntable instead of the deviation of the AF1 that this guy sees as his personal solution. [/quote]Didn't know that I had a problem for the AF1 to be its solution.[quote user="rowuk"]There still...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

Hi Wellington,I have rebuilt the other table after living with both for several months of comparison. The oil comparisons were done over several months as well, granted the differences in oil viscosity well smaller compared to the other changes. The ...

I think that I saw someone offering a silicon nitride thrust plate along with the ball bearing years ago. Jam, your solution of simply flipping the thrust plate upside down makes perfect sense, but I suppose a silicon nitride (or similarly hard) plat...

Thanks a lot Romy for your useful advices mixed with delicious and sometimes spicy
humor which make the meals more tasty ;-)

All joy to you and Amy!As to whether your son will develop an interest in Macondo and all the rest of your audio, I can offer only one data point, as to how my own son has reacted to all my (much more modest) audio adventures. In short, he takes ver...

Sorry, but I have to tell you that you do have it backwards on the skating forces. Just Google for a force diagram. Another way to know is to look at how the anti-skating force is applied in arms using the weight, pulley and monofilament line approac...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Thanks, guys. They were quite valuable recommendations. I wonder
how would I feel if Thomas what he begin to talk would inform me that I shall
not have more than 3 tonearms on my turntable or more than 3 pressing of my fa...

I had a Walker Proscenium turntable with various cartridges. About twenty years ago I converted all my vinyl to 24/96 files and have never looked back. As far as dsp processing, the Trinnov altitude does a superb job of either recreating the hall sou...

[quote user="Paul S"]Interesting that problems Harley isolated in this case (pits and lands; turntable) were physical/mechanical, utimately "analog", in that sense. I'm glad someone has stayed after it, but not sure how to put this revelation to work...

I've had an RX-5000 for a few months now. I've read yours and other comments with great interest. I'm a long time high end dealer who is losing his vision and is mostly retired. I've known this particular turntable for about 35 years since it belo...

Yes we're creating the ultimate turntable so why not.''So can you
imagine adding to a tonearm a function to catching the proximity from
the center and dynamically reset the anti-scatting? How about automated
tonearm’s vertical excursion to compens...
|
|
Quick reply. Would the ultimate turntable also take into account mis-centred records like the Nakamichi TX-1000?Remember it had a sensor arm that rose up out of the chassis to read how far 'out' the centre of the record was.I had one...nice to watch....

The "best" TT I ever heard - by a mile - was the old Versa Dynamics, but the performance quickly deteriorated, apparently from water vapor messing up the "straight-line" arm function. Oh, well.Mass is definitely part of the answer. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="guy sergeant"] I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, ...

I got from web someone’s pictures of how that dam Russky arm was looking in the turntable. I think some of you would be looking and wondering…
Anyhow, 3 year later after spending some time with this arm I found myself to run this arm very lit...

Not too many of the cheaper horns have really interested me so far, but I think that we here should help others with this as it could better help them have some horns and horn interest in general. I haven't payed too much attention to much ...

When approach my shelf with opera records and look at the boxes I mostly see colors and I do not mean the color of the boxes… To me all operas have well-defined, very individual colors: form the purplo-neurotic colors of Mussorgsky, the magenta-shaky...
