My favorite Japanese audio company. As usual Eric Pheils (US distributor but living in Japan) rolled out the red carpet for me for another enjoyable event.
There's an obvious way of saving quite a bit of money there then!...sounds like CD
A turntable does not need to be (and should not be) light. Here, surely carbon fibre is a solution looking for a problem..?
Ah, I didn't know about that. The audiophile world looks at things from strange angles sometimes....There is a decades long war on this in the TT world.
The "light is better" crowd (originally lead by Linn) believes low mass is the way to go because less energy is stored than in a high mass design and it is released more quickly.
By necessity, that means coupling it with a suspended designed, which then leads to the famous Linn bounce test.
Neither Eric or I knew why it was there. They may have put it there for looks. We both had to straddle it to stand in front of the gear.What's that Matt doing in front of the shrine? I take it , it's not to save the carpet underneath?? Grounding/anti static ?

They have: they invented digital.It's not nearly as strange as some of the other crap that happens on the digital side, like magic USB or ethernet cables.
Vibration, mechanical resonances, wow, flutter, speed fluctuations...these are all real things in the turntable world.
And nobody has solved them 100%.

Were we discussing your waistline?ome are high mass and some like mine are low mass...
