You have got this ass about face. The key to using the arm with a high compliance cartridge is to get the counterweight as close to the pivot point as possible, which may require using a heavier counterweight for the higher compliance cartridge. It's counter intuitive.

You might have a better chance of selling your arm if you advertised it on here on audiogon rather than just posting a link to your ad on another site. |
@nandric It is very simple. Audiogon provides an excellent forum for audiophiles to discuss and debate all things audio. The issue is that Audiogon can only exist if funding permits, and I assume that some of their funding comes from sales commissions. If you take a helicopter view, then Audiogon has saved a lot of readers a lot money through access to excellent advice. Therefore is it too much to ask for Forum members to give a little back ? |
@nandric examples I have owned or set up are Kuzma 4point, sme, zeta, helius, moerch to name a few. Unfortunately many audiophiles who claim to be expert do not understand the benefits or physics behind getting the counterweight as close to pivot as possible. |
both the kuzma and moerch have at least 4 counterweights of different weights which are combined to optimise their mass and position. By my maths that equates to 24 combinations in each case the helius has 3 counterweights plus 2 small counterweights used in tandem. When you order a helius they ask you for the weight range of your cartridges to ensure optimisation. the 6 counterweights for the Sumiko are quite crude by comparison |
