Paul, What attracts me to the TW TT is the idea that it is possible to discard anything that we might consider important but to make the platter as a sandwich what the bottom of the platter care bearing but the top of the platter is decupled from the...

OK, I understand now when you talk about suspension and will translate to "bearing". I don't know if it needs to be the turntable or the stand but something needs to be responsible for isolation. I have heard good things about the vibraplane and wo...

To me the problem with this it is not about that specific turntable but presence of this turntable and presence of the Framer as class action case which defeat a notion of public service. I do not advocate this or other design and I do not advoca...

I always feel that whatever I say isn’t personal enough.
[quote user="markus46"] This is in no way a criticism, but English is obviously not your first language. Your posts are littered with spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors which m...

Thanks for sharing, Roman... I remember I fell in love for Jaqueline Du Prè since I purchased, eons ago, a double record-set on EMI... she was so easy and elegant, so innocent and... the playing: WOW!I guess tomorrow will be Du Prè's Day on my turnta...

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 container of viscous liq...

Visiting the Paris Hifi Show a couple of times in the late 80's I saw a turntable with a heavy platter floating in a bath of exposed!!! mercury. The people running the demo did not look well (grey pallor, lacking hair) and looked even worse the secon...

My cat that likes to chew loudspeaker cables. Especially is fond of NordOst flat cables. He is therefore is being kept out of my listening room but should somebody forget to close the door tightly, comes in immediately for cables or to jump on the tu...

Our younger cat, Callie the calico, likes to get on my turntable to get attention. I had a camera handy and caught her there recently. Note that the needle is actually playing.Our other cat Shadow (mostly black of course, we are not imaginative wit...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfTFTI4DvKU [/quote]I have to admit that I just watched this clip with the Cat on turntable 20 times and can’t help myself. To me, to watch Cats is the most cherished time in my life. Just to...

The ultimate turntable would have a very light platter that allows a teflon bearing without too much wear off and a DSP-controlled piezo motor that can introduce arbitrary speed deviations to overlay the speed irregularities of tape recorders and cut...

Fremer reviewed the Monaco : http://stereophile.com/turntables/1107gp/FWIW I have greatly enjoyed the abilities of my direct drive turntable to negotiate complex passages of symphonic music. I assume it is because it is less sensitive to ...

enjoy_the_music wrote "but would it be easier to use a device like the old Audio Technica AT-666?"I had one of those, and it was horrible. You need to stop the platter, attach a hose, pump (manually if I remember correctly), detach the hose.Mine woul...

The arm pictured above may be made by Rossner & Sohn (as is the turntable) but is definitely a good deal longer than 12". One wonders when the benefits of better geometry become outweighed by the reduction in stiffness/structural integ...

Interestingly that I eventually decided to read the Mike Fremer review about the Continuum turntable. I was trying quite hard but I was not able to read it. The content was none-readable and revolting as in a beginning of each sentence the Framer jus...

Wow:Looks like a trip to Boston coming on for the big guy once the snow is gone.Very interesting doings there Romy!Your cat is looking well, and the amps are eye candy. I can only assume the sound equals the appearance.Time will tell, hopefully I'll ...

Well, Paul, a majority of audio Morons is that in their infinite chase for a “better” turntables approach the subject of turntables’ assessment using fundamentally faulty techniques. Let pretend, juts for sake of illustration, that a pric...

I do not want to dive seriously into discussion about Continuum turntable. I have not reasons or interest, not to mention that this thread is not about the Continuum turntable but rather about the primitivism and idiocy of the “gantseh makher” Fremer...

It was 15 years ago. Michael Framer was sitting in his home, taping scotch over a small white box, crying and cursing God. “Oh, Gods who run Roma?!” – wept Framer – without knowing the true meaning of his question.
“Gods what did I do to upset you?...

That is a great Picture.Well, the Audiophile world waited so long for these ultimate turntables. Their Design is well proven :-) all over the years and has a strong Fangroup. Design back to Basics.http://tempuri.org/tempuri.html...

Romy, this is my first post on this forum and I am also on the verge of buying my first ever turntable. Have you ever heard a Rega or Origin Live tonearm ? Do you have an opinion about them ? I am looking to add a 12" tonearm to my TT and looking to ...

I saw this turntable while over at the show in Munich. It is called Air Force 1. Allegedly there are Micro Seiki people behind it. There might be some truth in that.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/P1010101.jpg[/IMG]A Micro f...

Way back when I was an undergraduate, we studied about baby ducklings that some maniac made to follow a "surrogate mother" around a moving turntable. To make a horrifying story short, the "study" concluded that the harder the ducklings were made to ...

I think digital source components are the most sensitive to powerline garbage. They should all be designed to run off batteries. In terms of sensitivity I would rank components like this: 1. Digital Source 2. Solid State Preamp 3. Solid State Amp ...

Same person, same show, TW turntable.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhEVL9rnwtQIf he is stopping the platter I'd have guessed that the belt must be slipping on the motor pulley while it is stalled. These turntables don't appear to be using 'slip' mat...

A related point: isn't it odd that few are offering digitized renderings of rare and important pieces of vinyl commercially, perhaps played through a selection of parameter variations on some very high quality turntable? Given that quality vinyl play...
