soundfan Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't think we need a specific format spinning thread. If you check the currently spinning thread most posters list what format they are playing at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hensa Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't think we need a specific format spinning thread. If you check the currently spinning thread most posters list what format they are playing at the time. And the vast majority of posters in the other currently spinning threads are spinning records.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you've seen it at some point? I have participated in it and no offence taken However you will have also see other music genre spinning threads One of the reasons and the main inspiration I started this thread is the presentation format of the participants The idea came to me from some posters on Instagram where they photograph the album they are playing and the turntable it's played on It also invites discussion on SQ, Tone Arms, Cartridges ect This is the main difference of this thread to others 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not new. I believe it was @ferchersan that kicked off the trend of showing album and table pics. Anyway...knock yourself out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citroen Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Although I've largely abandoned my Terminator arm, have you tried any of Vic's tweaks? Such as arm cable dressing, change in arm pivot point material, using rubber bands to suspend arm. One tweak I see you don't have which I used was to put a protective cap on the end of the bottom of the arm. Too easy to scrape the record on it otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Terminator arm and set up is superb and has no issues The setup of this arm was factored in when building the plinth I don't have any issues at all Did not know any issues about the pivot points that you mentioned but as an engineer I thought it best to enhance the connection point While putting it all together I applied a special coating that is used in string instrument building Always careful with record placement so no issues With wires I suppose I could have a look at what others are doing as I haven't visited the site for a long time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroen Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I gather the tweaks are all about trial and error, no criticism of the current set ups but only trying to improve. I'm sure Vic would be receptive to any suggestions, ie your special coating, esp if it could be shared with other owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for tweaks and improvements and don't mind taking things on board and sharing mine when people ask Take note of the product number on this coating ( see photo ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
