| Turntable speed accuracy Hi Dev, the bi-planar air bearing for my turntable in the 1990s was only about half the cost of this new one. But this new one has much tighter tolerances and will do the same job with 1/3 the air volume of the former. In all engineering the cost/... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Thuchan, I just this past month ordered the bearings for my new turntable design and the costs are - with a limited edition of 12 units for 2012 and 2013 - USD14,800 + 19% VAT for the bearing alone (no joke - for each single bearing).But then... | |
| Sirius and Walker Hi Sarcher30, the tonearm wire insulation was fine - that kind of insulation used on the Sirius' tonearm wire will only "harden" ages after our bones have turned to dust .... | |
| Sirius and Walker Hello, I can confirm Unoear's description. When I was his guest in late November 2011, we tried real hard getting the Sirius III to track a whole record side.It proofed impossible - due to the original stock tonearm wire.No matter what we tried - ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dear Chris, I preferred the IKEDA silver litz - here in particular because it features extremely soft Teflon-foil insulation - resulting in extremely low reset force.Very important IMHO with an air bearing tangential tonearm.Besides that mechanica... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners In brief summary - don't want to get too much involved here - my experiences with the ET 2 and 2.5:- air pressure (and by chance pulse frequency on the air stream) can have a huge effect on the sound quality. Above a certain pressure the arm can d... | |
| Lyra Titan: Stylus broken during shipping Dear Heradot, to comment on your initial question right away: -if it was locally purchased and no customs involved, then it is IMPOSSIBLE that this damage occurred during shipment.That is unless the Titan i cartridge was "installed" in it's origin... | |
| Tonearm alignment question Go to the calculator at Vinylengine and recalculate your off-set angle and overhang based on the geometry you want to use and the "new" P2S. It is really easy to do, fast and a swift instrument which you can use with every tonearm.A mere 5 minute ... | |
| what is the proper loading BTW - heavy tracking force doesn't really "eat" records .... rather very low tracking force in conjunction with high skating. | |
| what is the proper loading it is a SPU | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Well Rockitman, I guess we all can agree, that even the very best connection do sport at least 2 solder joints and a composite of different material (solder, brass, nickel, phosphor bronze, coating) won't better a bare silver wire which runs undis... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Dear Moonglum, the connector where the Phantom's armtube is connected to the bearing house consists of 2 connectors - one on each side.Same with the DIN socket and the connecting phono cable - again 2 connectors.This makes a grand total of 6 conne... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Pryso, *now wasn't that non-engineer Harry Belafonte strollin' down the beach in sunny Jamaica with his father who tried to explain to him the thing with the birds and the bees .... ? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro put it in the most precisely manner. The Timeline may be frustrating in it's accuracy, but then it is not the Timeline's fault. Very interesting too, to watch the laser beam over the whole record side ( record it with a camera - it is too b... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I need to throw my 2 cents in here, as I have very high regards for Bob Graham's design. And saying that I must add, that I am absolutely no fan of the uni-pivot principle in pivot tonearm design for certain reasons (which I won't discuss ...;-) .... |
