Benz Lp-s Frequency Resonance Problems

Hi to all,

As i mentioned on another thread, i have some problems with my Lp-s on my Graham Phantom arm, i have problems with little warps. I have measssured with the Hifi News Lp and lateral i have between 8hz-5hz and vertical i don't know well as i can't see cartridge wobble or hear any distortion. But for my problem the important is the lateral test.
Benz recommends medium to high mass arms but that's impossible!
To get 10hz frequency resonance you need a 0 gram mass arm!

I don't know if to try a Reed arm, the lightest one is 10gr effective mass and i should have 8hz Resonance frequency.

Any idea?

Many thanks

I send it back 2 weeks ago, everything is OK!
I have send the LP-S to a friend who has several arms to try.

And i also tried with less VTF, but nothing. I only happens with 2-3 Lps but it should not .

I spoke with both,

Graham says that the arm is able to balance it out, and the arm does, but this is not the problem. The problem are the warps because of the effective mass. It is too much mass for this compilance.

And Benz says that i have to try and when it don't work with a arm, then try with another arm. They say that for example, they tried with SME IV and V and measured with the HN Lp lateral frequency resonance was between 9hz-9,5hz.

Mine is at 6,5-7hz, that is too low and i hear it with little warps.

Stringreen,

Did you measured with the HN Lp ?
What is the effective mass of your arm?
