I see, thank you very much for the response! It looks like quite a bit of experimentation at first. My solution would probably be the spray foam at first unless I find something more rigid. In any event, it looks like I will slowly ...

I don't understand why people are using the flywheel with the same thread coming off the motor to go around both the turntable platter and the flywheel. I also don't get why the flywheel is supposed to be used with a slipping thread at all. To make...

Romy's quotes in blue:Daniel J. Plach's quote in green:"...The back chamber mechanism is good. Are you planning to do the same in the midbass horn?..."Yes, it will be similar, but more robust; I have an idea for a locking-type seal, which I would pro...

[quote user="Ciampa"]Good anoon everyone,I am currently running an RY-5500/RX-5000 trough aramid thread. Was wondering wht wd be the ideal thread tension for the system. Wd it be better being tight or loose ? Both cases I get constant platter speed, ...

Wow, you sure do pack it in there! I like the way you silicone the caps and other things into place. Maybe you can do the same for the bleeder resistors and wiring bundles? That is, once you are sure it is operational. Wires c...

Hi Romy, It's called "the itch". I was debating high and low before plunging for the Pass. I played around with the capacitance setting. I put it to ZERO and the sound lacked body. 100pf was a little better. Bass was tight but lacked absolute weight....

I don't know why the Berning topic gets everyone so worked up. No need for another ZOTL screaming contest. Is this not a hobby where we explore many solutions? It is a difficult subject technically. I for sure can not speak about th...

Merlin here is the Stereophile measurements on the Lamm ML2.1http://stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/1004lamm/index4.htmlAs you can see the rise in distortion vs. frequency shows only a small rise in distortion even down to 10Hz. This is an indica...

I remember the old Decca cartridges as quite maddening, a real love/hate connundrum. Unrivaled, totally addictive "immediacy", and dynamics that made anything else sound muffled and plain wrong, but also about as user-unfriendly and unrel...

JP, Start with a rear chamer having a volume a bit larger than you think you will really need (calculate rear chamber volume to get you in the ball park; for this you will need the driver's tech data). From there you can tune the chamber volume by in...

This is an article from Thomas Dunker's site (available in my Links Section) and presumably written by him. Although I slightly disagree with some of the statements he made about the horns “imaging” and some others but generally it is very good...

It took a LOT of time in CAD using what I had learnt from building the power supplies and then adapting it to match the requirements of the rest of the system. I have decided to mount the DSET on the horn stack and direct connect the speaker cables....

Retrofunk,Interesting observations. With regard to the speed variations with the flywheel, I have to wonder about your motor. I don't recognize particular unit. Do you have the original RY-5500 motor that came with the RX-5000? The RY-5500 has a buil...

[quote user="Paul S"]If you can do it, try isolating both cases/chasses from your "ground plane(s)". Use one inclusive "ground plane" for both the PS and the gain/RIAA sections, and ground this "ground plane" to the house "neutral" wire. Do NOT conne...

Hi Romy,Probably my evaluation methods are still quite moronic, but I think I'm learning to listen to what matters in the music. I had some experiences with a friend using several caps in a preamp he built, and also in the integrated I'm using. I und...
