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 ...

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...

It is interesting that you call $30.000 plus dollars "super expensive". A few days ago somebody sent me a link to a review of a new TechDAS turntable with a price tag of $380.000. I wonder what kind adjectives would you choose to use for that? ...

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...

Romy,How about putting bass tower #2 directly behind#1, but facing the opposite direction from #1? This would keep #2 away from the turntable, yield a symmetrical setup and enable #2 to energize the hot spot around your chair.Note, I'm not sure whic...

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...

never mind idler drive & all that rumble, get a proper turntable[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/pre-ampinsidechinesTT022.jpg[/IMG]Seriously though, thats interesting if 60Kg of rotating mass isn't enough.What would ...

I thought about this for many years... but, to make the story short:I agree with that idea for Loudspeaker manufactures, this makes a bit sense, but even here you will have experiences, which will make you die 10 years earlier.Avant-Garde for example...

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...

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 ...

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...

My first thought on looking at your photo: "Night On Bald Mountain"! This particular set-up might work especially well for Halloween Hi-jinks!You might even install a remote-actuated "turntable" with different filters... Best regards,Paul S...

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...

I would be most concerned with having the turntable where kids can reach it. This has proven to be very problematic! Son climbing speakers -- not a problem....

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]I heard this TT, it was magnificent, almost no coloration to speak of, dead dead quiet. Of course it wasn't plugged in and there was no tonearm or cartridge yet but man I loved the sound! Really whatnthe hell is everyon...

I got emails today pointing at some forum at LinkedIn. In there somebody named Patrick Mattucci – “Senior Systems Designer at Hi-Fi Sales Company” asked an interesting question:
“How would the Analog Enthusiasts among us rate today's lat...

[quote user="tokyo john"]Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note doe...

With great plessure and a deserved sense of appreciation I opened today the Stereophile and learned Continuum turntable was pushed by Michael Fremer to the “Product of the year”. I would leave aside even theoretical bogusness of the “Product of the Y...

Romy,
Your findings are more congruent than not with
my own experiences with different
systems and environments.

That becomes almost fan. As I was informed by Michael Fremer:
“It [Continuum] is beautifully built, designed based on science and high technology and has proven to be ultra-reliable during the time I've had it here. In fact, I bought mine at conside...

Don't we always go through this same discussion regardless if it is an amplifier, speaker, turntable, DAC (wine, cigars, frying pans)? Don't the arguments keep repeating themselves? Don't we all agree that IF a turntable NEEDS to cost 125K that somet...

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 to ultra high mass system...

The subject of this head is not the Continuum Turntable but rather the little frighten Moron with sentimental name Michael Fremer. It is important to note that Michael Fremer is not just a Moron own problems but the persons who is with his proactive ...

In a way you can write some positive / negative about nearly every Design out there. The Micro 5000 & 8000 are 20 years old, they have 2 weak features- a Platter which rings- no suspensionBUT, when we look at their latest units, we can see that M...

There is new hope for the discriminated analog Audiophile:

Hm, I did not know it as I buy Stereophile very sporadically. I scanned at the Fremer’s thoughts about Monaco. I do not know…. I do not feel that...

I think it is quite helpful to have some information about VTA in general.In the 50's there was no cutting standard, that means, every Label did cut their records the way they wanted ( the angle for Mercury, RCA LS, Decca etc. are all different). At ...
