TW Acustic three motor unit
Milimetr, Two things here. One how much the belt is stretched and two how much horizontal force the belt puts on the platter. Too much horizontal force hurts the sound.With a one motor AC these both change together as you move the motor farther fr... 
TW Acustic three motor unit
Milimetr, how did you make sure that you had the same amount of belt tension when comparing the one vs three motors. After dusting or moving the motor the Feickert tool is used to place it back to the same distance with in one or two millimeters.F...

Halcro, I took In_shore's comments to be passing along info he heard. Nothing more.Thanks again for all the work you put in testing your tables. There is a lot there for analog lovers.It is amazing how internet trolls can just make stuff up and ne...

Modified Lenco vs TW Raven
Syntax is full of crap. Ignore. Lewm asked and there is never an answer. Ever. And its not the first time. No detail. No nothing. What a joke. Syntax is all subtraction and no addition. Again ignore... Worthless input. 
TW-Acustic cartridge alignment HELP
Luna, I forgot one thing. There is a single small round hole in the area where you mount the cartridge to the tone arm. Use that to set the pivot to spindle distance by having a loose arm board where you can center the hole on the platter spindle.... 
TW-Acustic cartridge alignment HELP
I use the Feikert and Mint too. I think all you need is the Mint but the Feikert is useful as well.I have another arm in use right now but I recall that once I had the Raven arm set up, it hit the 15.8mm line spot on but I don't recall exactly whe... 
old verses new ???
I would be concerned with the age of the electronics of the motor controller on some older TTs. They are consumer goods.And you may be hostage to people selling this stuff if any thing goes wrong.Maybe a bit apples and oranges but I would take a 2... 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
I prefer no mat but since systems vary it is not surprising that some find a mat that does something they like.Its not like anyone talking about stacking on another platter on top of the OEM platter to cover up the flaws of the original one. 
VPI Aries with non-VPI arm
Maxh, I used a Tri-planar VII on an Aries 2. Worked fine. It looked a bit odd since I had to use the same spot where the longer jwm 10.5 was mounted. The arm board was in a fixed spot. The result was that the arm at rest sat at an angle instead of... 
Raven turntable owners:oiling & what type?
Elinor, what is the diameter of the three motor unit? I have a very tight space. Did not see a number on the web site. Thanks. 
Turnable database with TimeLine
Halcro, nice job with the timeline video. I doubt it will shout up the audio Nazis but who cares. Anyone with a brain can see past the internet bully thing.Certainly any one overstating what the Timeline "proves" discredits themselves.Tony, your i... 
Balanced or single ended phono stage?
Dave, no worries. It was several years ago. Let me back up a bit.I had a VPI Aries II TT when I picked up the Ayre P-5x. I did indeed order a custom made phono cable that was configured per the Ayre link you provided. The RCA end plugged into the ... 
Balanced or single ended phono stage?
Listen to Atmosphere on the advantages of balanced designs. I have no connection to him but I have been using balanced systems for a long time and I am a believer.Not to say single ended equipment can't sound better in a scheme of things. System d...
