I would like to dedicate this thread to collection of the ideas and thoughts what might/should manifest an “Ultimate Turntable”. I know many of so-called “good” turntables and I REALLY appreciate none of them. Why an “ultimate turntable never was bui...

It is always difficult objectively deal with tonearms. The tonearms is very difficult subject, performance of which might be severally masked by thousands associative parameters. However, the biggest problem is that it is imposable to talk with peopl...

The Ultimate turntable only needs to provide for one arm. The ultimate arm. Why compromise its performance with various inferior arm designs.
I'm not sure that high mass is necessarily a good thing. Yes it stores a large amount of kinetic ener...

Recently, since I‘m doing some remodeling of my turntable, there was some noise on my site about Micro Seiki turntables. I really do not want to push my site toward to becoming one of the typical audio fetish sites but in context of this thread I wou...

I disagree with many concussions and methods that those guys use but still I appreciate that people took the task and tied to attach is as good as they know of:

[quote user="tokyo john"]… If they then get the audio sickness, they will go on to spend many many thousands of dollars, over and over, for very modest incremental improvement to sound… [/quote]Actually I do not know if this is correct. In today’s wo...

[quote user="drdna"] but let's not forget that we should never equate equipment prices with sound quality. [/quote]Absolutely disagree. This believe is the most ridicules accomplished that audio propaganda implanted inept the brains of audio people. ...

The Thread was written from Romy 2006, I don't know when I read it the first time but it was an eye opener for me. In a way, one of the very best Analysis ever written.
6 years later (2012) every single sentence is still valid about morons, idiots,...

[quote user="steverino"]However, if I stuck the balun between the SDS and the
turntable (ie the turntable plug into the balun and the balun into the SDS)
then I heard noise reduction Without a negative effect on the sonics. But note
that the SDS –...

[quote user="noviygera"]
Not that physics is my strong suit, but casually watching a physics youtube video this thought crossed my mind.
I wonder if gyroscopes can be used in a turntable to improve it's performance without reverting t...

Paul, I searched for the discussion on platter weight optimality but couldn't find it. Anyway I assume people know I was referring to a one person lift turntable on a stand, not a one finger lift. Assuming a platter weight in the 25 pound range and ...

I guess there are many types that come here to GoodSoundClub. Some to "brag", some to "share", some to "police", some just to learn.I guess if your turntable is so important to you, then you could at least tell us how it is sonically "better" than th...

[quote user="dkarmeli"]If the rest of the setup is up scratch then all you get is the recording and you'll forget about they system. Your body and mind will relax and allow you to have the same emotional connection with the music as you'd have in a l...

David,everything is clear now. What is a "dealer" supposed to say? What does a dealer have to do to "capture" their markets? How does a "dealer" behave on a forum dedicated to applied Sound and not commerce. It should be apparent from ALL of the resp...

I worked a little bit with those and I compared it to Vibraplane.The Minus-K are ok, they do a good job BUT they move very easily, they are very wobbly and based on that, you can only use them with center weight Turntables. And based on their size, w...

Wellington,It is my understanding that lead was used because it'a anti an anti-seize properties. The bearing fit is very tight and I suppose this helped with the lubricants of the period and is not a problem with modern synthetics.The bearing does no...

Well, I would say this CES was very low on decent sound. Sometimes I had to fight with the urge to leave a room or two immediately after hearing a few bars of music being played.Still the hope is not lost. At a fringe show at the Flamingo hotel (THE ...

NSET, Sorry for any confusion. It seems clear from Romy's experiences and others that the electrical line is a transportation system that lets everything ride for free to any station and back. Yes the SDS uses a quartz crystal oscillator and digital...

Stitch, I am not too familiar with the sound of contemporary TT and I am not necessary would discard them juts because they are contemporary. I still have that fantasy about some kind of flimsy, paper-made TT that for whatever reason do sound very go...

I've been reading these comments for years now, and it's getting pretty tired. So I think it's about time someone spoke up.I've done some work with Mr. Walker, I know the guy, and most importantly, I've ACTUALLY HEARD HIS TURNTABLE. It is a sonic wor...

I'm only aware of PS audio as an alternative. I wasn't crazy about the original power plant but they introduced new models recently which may be better. (I did not get favorable results running my turntable through the PurePower and I have one of the...

Romy, would like to know if you or anyone else,have some opinions on this table..
The top small platter is 20 lbs. the bigger platter is 45 lbs. the Company used Block wood (butcher Block wood.? )The turntable was built for a friend by a new C...

There are a few manufacturers out there, Minus-K, Halcyonics, Vibraplane...The Vibraplane is a good unit for the money, I have no problems with it and it does the job the way it should.Those Vibration units work different from construction and are ve...

(Many) years ago (in a psychology class) I studied how baby ducklings were forced to follow a surrogate "mother" around a turntable, and an obstacle was placed in the duckling's path, so it had to jump over the obstacle to keep up with its "mother".&...

I would like to buy new turntable – just to listen to music every evening. Current set up is rather entry by level – Technics 1210 with Grado Gold and Trichord Dino. However it could produce more or less correct time picture, and involve me into the ...

Romy Hi, there is nothing to say really, I was trudging up the usual hifi route, ( B&W 800's usual high powered solid state amps ) I thought a turntable upgrade would be the last step! Went to GT Audio to listen to Thomas Woschnicks tur...

[quote user="drdna"]Easier to make might be a device like a record clamp you can attach to an existing turntable platter. It should be easy to do the experiment by trying a weight on the turntable platter: 1. a solid weight 2. an equal weight contain...
