Glad we have affirmation that cogging does exist in direct-drive systems... and it's both measurable and audible. The truth of the matter is (what many of us have known for years) each drive type has positives and negatives. Each is best in its *own way* so pick a table that works best for you and your budget and start spinning some vinyl. Your ears and heart will thank you for it. Thanks for posting this very interesting discussion.

What a great session. Thank you guys. You made me seriously think about leaving my current job, learn more about vinyl and turntables and go pro.

Micro Seiki CF-1 used carbon fibre for its arm-tube. I believe it was manufactured in 1979 - 1984. Mine still sounds lovely.

Thank you that was highly entertaining. Looks like I am going to have to start saving again, my gear is clearly dated! 😂

Watched the original video..this is a great video. My question is ..why shouldn’t a tt match the precision of the lathe/ cutting head that makes the master disk 🤔 Seems logical that if you’re getting “more out of the grove”..how was that possible given the manufacturers systems ….🧐 Dint get me wrong Vinyl is amazing..but you have to wonder 💭 HOW.

Boomers hearing things that aren't there because they spent alot of money. You are right, logically that is not possible, i doubt if any od those people can hear past 12khz

I'd like to see a feature in a turntable as was done on the Nakamichi models, which would spin the record, then automatically adjust the center of the record so that there would be no wow and flutter on off-center pressed discs. None of the audiophile expensive units do this. Your $100K turntable with the $40K tonearm and $25K cartridge will sound like crap if the record you play is pressed off center.

Aging men and their need for spinning audio media. I'm 70 yo and don't miss 45's, LPs, CDs, SACDs etc. Streaming is not as great as analog yet, but someday it will. All that stuff in the grooves will be available on digital someday. DACs are improving every year. Good bye spinning objects, I'll never miss the ritual of cleaning an LP and needle.

Why are you on a vinyl video if all you do is stream? Enjoy the lower fidelity.

Let's be honest here, vinyl is worst than digital ( less dynamic range, background noise... and so on) So the romantic aspect I understand but Fidelity wise it's obsolete.... @intothevoid9831

@intothevoid9831 i agree with dihydrotestosterone, your vinyl is objectively and many times subjectively worse, and for music, with streaming is better for music because with it you can actually explore music and find new exciting music, with vinyl you listen to the same shit all the frickin time unless you keep buying records, but how are you gonna discover music if you're only listening to records. Its just a bad obsolete format and companies advantage of people's nostalgia, because most people in this hobby are 50,60,70 years old so they grew up with vinyl and they have a certain emotinal nostalgic connection to it, once you get past that vinyl is not better than digital in any shape or form.

@@makiskouloumparitsis9203 Cool story. Streaming sucks. Ive used streaming before and it sounds vastly inferior. People had no issue discovering new music prior to the invention of the internet. Enjoy your lofi.
