| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm, Since this thread was started I have had further opportunity to listen to a Garrard 401/Raven/Zyx, Technics SP10mk2/Raven/Zyx ( both before and after full Krebs mod ) and Kenwood L07D all in the same system. The Garrard 401 presented a more ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lohanimal, It is more a function of the error correction systems used in direct drive TT's. Like digital, they have inherent jitter that destroys the time and phase relationships of the music signal. This results in soundstage aberrations as well ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Thanks for posting the link to the article on phase response in MC's/MM's.It does go a long way to explaining differences of opinion, listing preferences and system attributes will play a significant role.Here is an interesting video that hi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I also happen to believe based on my compressors versus current setup from years ago, that there are advantages in a constant air psi being delivered by a quality pump versus a cycling off and on compressor which is like letting air out of a ballo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners PegasusYou don't get steel more elastic than with a perfectly pointed unipivot interface. Then think "it" as an elongated point and you see something like a short subminiature "string" at the end of the point - quite elastic, like a very small pie... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib - It is interesting to note that the high frequency 2db rise at 20k with the Grace F9 is greater than any of my moving coil cartridges ( Dynavector Karat Nova 13D, Koetsu Black ). Certainly the F9E I owned with original stylus was a little t... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable The issue with Magnetically levitated feet on a TT in my view is that if the motor is separate from the TT then it compromises the rigidity between motor pulley and platter/bearing. I have no doubt that IF one has a TT that is being subjected to v... | |
| Bridged classe audio DR9 I had some Calipers many years ago and got excellent results using passive biamping with 2 amps.Your best option is to passively biamp the speakers with the 2 DR9's. Use 1 amp for each speaker, using the left channel for bass and right channel for... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 08-20-14: NandricThis also imply that I disagree with Dovers 'theory' that MC carts are prefered by persons who like 'exaggerated' (+ 3 dB at 20 Khz ?)I have never said that and do not subscribe to that theory. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? JcarrThank you for the informative post. I am interested in your view on cantilever flex on eccentric records. My experience with a tangential air bearing tone, the Eminent Technology ET2, is that even with the horizontal mass reduced significantl... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ketchup,I have played with titanium components on the ET2 some years ago. I overhauled a company that manufactured custom wheelchairs, including custom titanium frames, with custom brackets to meet individuals needs. Unfortunately titanium is very... | |
| Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all? Dougs point about the anti skate been applied to one end of the cantilever and the skating force being applied to the other is quite correct. However IF one has checked that the cantilever is straight, and not being pulled in one direction or the ... |
