2016年11月10日 · One can’t help wondering why the inventors of the mag lev turntable didn’t also employ mag lev for the tonearm, which appears to be an easier task than mag leving the platter. Then the new mag lev turntable would be analogous to the air bearing everything Maplenoll (that I used to own), the special edition one with the 50 lb platter.
Turntable Isolation Journey - Audiogon Discussion Forum
2023年5月9日 · Turntable is the only source here -- and it’s a Clearaudio Innovation Compact with no suspension or special isolation feet. This system always sounded good, but was rendered nearly unusable at higher volumes due to turntable isolation that was inadequate relative to this room’s challenges.

2012年6月11日 · This turntable (£2500 UK price, approx $4000-$5000 US) is the brainchild of Vic, a retired dentist, who, fed up with the shortcomings of belt drive and traditionally-pivoted tone arms, literally from the ground up devised first the Terminator air bearing linear tracking tone arm (now in T3Pro guise as on my system), and now the direct rim ...

VPI Turntable Upgrade - Audiogon Discussion Forum
01-31-2012 at 09:45pm. If you have a need to upgrade, keep your turntable and cartridge, but get a set of Bearpaws ( Vermontaudio.com) and remove your minifeet and replace them with these Bearpaws. If however, you do decide to get the Classic, be sure you tell VPI you have and want to use your SDS. There is a capacitor in the motor circuit that ...

2017年3月21日 · I recently purchased a set of 4 40mm sorbothane feet for my Music Hall mmf-5 turntable. Setup was less than favourably a one-man affair, so it was a rather precarious endeavour. One thing that adds to the difficulty of what I imagined would be an entirely straightforward installation, is the fact that the sorbothane feet easily distort under ...

2024年10月4日 · Reinstall belt, try not to paw it too much. Clean the platter on both sides, reinstall. Take the compressed air, and blow out the tonearm bearings, try to put a tube on the compressed air, to get into the little areas. Take your glass cleaner, spray the other MF towel, clean the dust cover, reinstall.
