Patsuh,Tell me more. Who did the replacement? Where did you source them. Similar issues for me as well. 
Audio Desk Systeme Record Cleaner
I have a unit with serial # 17xx. Cleans mostly OK. It squeaks a bit and the unit is not aligned to hold the record 100% straight while rotating. The record edge hits the machine on one side. The white wipers don't apply equal pressure on both sid... 
TW 10.5 arm overhang set up?
I agree but there is a line on the protractor that needs to align with the stylus. It isn't as good but it s very close. O will admit I am a VTA/VTF believer over HTA. I hear it much more and measurements seem to agree with me. 
TW 10.5 arm overhang set up?
No mirror. Not needed. I can see the tip of the stylus perfectly on the paper / card stock. I have the Wally Tractor and know very well the difference. Honestly this does the same thing for free.

I made my own "Mint" protractor using the Vinyl Engine resources to print on Card Stock. Came out perfect. Costs near nothing.

Peterayer,Thank you for explaining in more detail. This thread isn't making too much sense. Too many contradictions. I am surprised you needed isolation for your SME. I thought the O rings would do the trick. But when I think about it, it makes se...

Thuchan ,I would love some further explanation of how isolating the motor and turntable separately be off benefit. I am assuming motor vibrations. Then your comment seems to fly in the face of Syntax's major complaints regarding speed accuracy or ...

What is the speed accuracy of reel to reel please? Does anyone know. Wasn't much of vinyl originally sourced as such?

Dev,Ball bearing? My BN does not. Green inside the platter but my bearing is similar to my AC which is a steel shaft that is convex on top. Are you sure you had a ball bearing?Any photos. From what I understand they are all the same design and the...

Dev,I don't live in the US. Hence I have no dealer or support. So I purchased direct. Anyhow. Tired of this thread. You have my email if you want to take it off line. If it goes up a notch it will only get more dirty. Sad to see you we're that so ...

Dev,Now for the wonderful watch story. I never bashed the dealer on this one although I was very unhappy that the cartridge in question had a compliance that varied from sample to sample. I had a loaner sample from a friend that worked perfectly o...

Dev,As for the calibration of my custom made suspension for my turntable. One thing I want to emphasize is that once I changed from the AC to the BN I needed to make more space on my rack. I had to remove some devises I had on rack that acted as a...

Dev,To answer your question about the motor controller. The Raven 1 had a different style motor controller with a flip switch. Then came the upgraded controller that many people purchased including myself. More elegant and a bit better sonically. ...

Philb7777,As for the bearing. My Raven AC was one of the earlier units. The bearing was convex on top. Similar to the BN. So is my BN. I think the diameter might be different. Both Dead quiet. Maybe 10 years ago there was a different type of beari...

Wrm57,Insults start whenever certain members start insulting other members and make claims to be better than others etc. Any discussion with humble origins and without ego would go much further. I can go and quote what was said but just go above a...
