Btw, mep: Dertonarm and I discuss this same subject and the differences comes because he speaks about theory due that he never tested in his system the naked TT version so he don't know what this experience " means ". In the other side I made in deep tests/research on the naked TT version against plinthed ones. I can't understand how you can agree with something you have no any single idea about!!!!, this is out of mi mind.
I’m going to chalk up this comment to not surviving the translation to English very well. I *think* you meant to say how can I agree with something when I haven’t tried the alternative naked version and the very thought of this is outside of your belief system.
Please read the Halcro experiences between the naked TT version against the Raven TT. I linked that post that speaks about facts and not only theory or words with no real foundation.
I read it Raul. I’m not sure about “facts” though. It’s just one man’s opinions about how his nude table was a world-beater. Here’s a fact for you Raul: I don’t like the fact that when you have a naked turntable lounging around your system, that means you have an arm mounted to some type of pod that is not attached to the uninhibited turntable and the stability of the critical geometry is depending on the arm pod not being moved the slightest bit after it has be oh-so-carefully placed or the table being bumped. I can see movement taking place over time just by cueing up the arm and returning it to its rest unless the pod is massive and/or is somehow weighted down to the structure it’s sitting on (would that make the other structure a plinth then?).
Btw, al over the world: Asia ( Japan. Malasya, Singapur,.. ), Australia, New zeland, Europe ( England, germany, Spain, .. ), America ( Usa, Canada, Mexico,... ) more and more persons are starting with the naked TT version and more and more persons with plinthed ones are changing to the naked version and you know what?: till today no single plinthed one that goes naked returned to plinthed.
These facts IMHO speaks more than thousands words from you, M.Lavigne, me or any one else on the success of the naked TT fashion: don't you think/agree?
Well, I admit that I didn’t know there was a naked turntable revolution going on around the world. I’m aware a few people have tried it and like their table better sans plinth. I fail to see how that makes it a “fact” that nude turntables sound better than those that are mounted in a good plinth. I’m sure they sound different though.
