In Reply to: RE: Technics SL-1200G vs Continum Caliburn & SAT Arm posted by vinyl survivor on February 01, 2017 at 17:19:14
I strongly prefer the first recording (which shows the SL1200 playing). If this actually turns out to be the Technics I'm buying one!
Whichever table is second has serious pitch issues which I find quite annoying on this track - sounds faulty. The decays and how sound projects into space also sound comparatively lacklustre compared to the first.
The sound of the drum on the first track also has far more realistic timbre and definition.

Wow, completly opposite from what i heard , did not hear speed issues with any of the tables too and BTW , small to some is a landslide to others , it was not difficult for me to hear a difference between the two , i guess its down to listening preferences as oppose to no difference.

Wow, that's interesting - can I ask what you listened through?
FWIW, I played the video file back via my usual listening setup. Mac Mini > Grace m920 dac/pre > Focal Utopia headphones or Halcro mc30 > Harbeth m30.1 speakers. I've spent a bit of effort optimising the Mac for streaming music.
I guess if I were listening to the recording via an el-cheapo laptop with built speakers the differences would be harder to discern - but I actually haven't tried that.

Interesting you did not hear any groove noise, did you read my original post ? there was also substantial rumble from both tables , i found the amount of bandwidth available interesting, well considering it was u boob ..
Regards
I don't play my speakers with the the grilles removed - they're designed for correct balance with grills fitted - so I have no idea about relative woofer movement.I never said I didn't hear groove noise from both tables(?) - this is vinyl after all - but it certainly didn't factor in my preference. Regardless of any relative groove noise/woofer movement I found the first table decidedly better for the reasons stated.
EDIT: FWIW I've since listened Fremer's second set of recordings - Natania Davrath, Songs of the Auvergne - and don't hear the pitch issues revealed by the first recording. I preferred the second for it's smoothness and control on vocal sustain and relaxed nature - however if I heard the first without reference to the second, I'd say it sounded quite good.
I have this recording, so when I finally get my Graham arm back into service I'll be keen to spin it for comparison.
