Tonearm resonance


Always have had an issue with tonearm noise. I can't afford the the to spend a fortune on a turtable but I just love the sound of vinyl. I have an MMF 7.3 with the stock tonearm and ortofon bronze cartridge which I'm planning to upgrade to a Hana EL most likely. Anyway, I just saw Funk Firm decouplers online the other day and am curious as to whether it is effective or not. If anyone has had experience with it I would love to hear about it. Thanks

Before one goes down the route of adopting additional devices to insert between Headshell and Cart’, suggested when in use to be a means of Cartridge Isolation.

It will be best for the individual to decide how closely they want to follow the philosophy of Rigid Coupling between all Parts used to create the Vinyl Front End and how much slop they want to add as means of moving away from a Rigid Coupling.

My own experience has been the closer to I have been able to attain to the method of Rigid Coupling, the more impressed I have become with the Source being used to replay vinyl.

Adding a wonder part, can be great at fixing one very small engineering concern, and introduce a whole lot more engineering concerns, that were not present prior to the adopting the use of the part.

@yogiboy are you interested in Exchangeable Wands on TA’s produced presently or Vintage designs as well, where finding a spare wand may incur a period of time watching the market to get the spare item?

There are also wands that are exchangeable that also have exchangeable Headshells as well.
