| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? Do you have the Reed 3P manual? If not - download here - Bedienungsanleitung-Tonarm-Reed-3P.pdf (bohne-audio.com) and follow directions accordingly. When you say the turntable can handle a 12" tonearm - does it have an adjustable armboard - ea... | |
| Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT? This is the Hanss T-30 HANSS ACOUSTICS T-30 (hanss-acoustics.com). From a casual view, your Reed 3P 12" tonearm is probably not going to fit on that turntable. Each turntable has allowable tonearm lengths that will work. Send Hanss and e-mail and ... | |

| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas, et.al, Per your request from PM, attached is the link to the Audio March 1981 magazine with the article on VTA/SRA and the effects of both. https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Audio/80s/Audio-1981-03.pdf. While ... | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? @lewm,Agree completely with your statement. An old Audio magazine article showed that just removing a record from a paper sleeve could produce a static charge on the record = 30,000V (this is not a typo). Otherwise, it appears the folks over at th... | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? @lewm,Completely 'wetting' the record will remove the static charge from the side that is fully 'wetted'. This paper shows that a 20% IPA solution which has a surface tension of about 30 dynes/cm will remove the static charge from Teflon which ha... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas,I have both the VPI 10.5i/AL-tube (EL = 266mm) and the 12-3D /printed-tube (EL-313mm). By just a simple balance analysis, the 12-3D tonearm fwd of the pivot is 3X the weight (not effective mass) of the 10.5i tonearm fwd of its pivot. ... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove @rvpiano,Being a bit a more pragmatic - a UV light can sometimes indicate debris that you will not be able to see with ’white’ light. and assist those aging eyes. This unit has good power for the inspection - only expose the record to the UV light... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @rauliruegas,FWIW - when I tried the Technics 3mm rubber plater mat, I stayed with it for a few months - I know it can take that long before I get over the newness factor and declare it good or otherwise. But, here is what happened - after a ... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @rauliruegas,Thank-you for the forum references. My choice of the word lifeless was more in haste then any proper assessment. I found the softer rubber Technics mat to put a soft-focus on the music; the small intricate details were missing;... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Here is another cartridge article from from the past (B&O cartridge designer) https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Audio/70s/Audio-1979-03.pdf.A couple of items to grasp is the amount of pressure (1000's of psi) that the st... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas,You and @lewm have it right - every application is different. Its more than the just the cartridge and its compliance. There is a decent article on tonearms in this Audio Magazine https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Arch... | |
| Record Care Regime can I do better ? @swann36,To repeat a post I made over at Steve Hoffman (with a few mods) and in reference to your issue with the stylus collecting gunk: This review of the Disco unit Disco-Antistat Vinyl Cleaning Machine From Knosti - The Audiophile Man , states ... | |
| Record Care Regime can I do better ? @mijostyn;Most chlorofluorocarbon solvents stopped manufacture in 1996 per the Montreal Protocol. CRC brake cleaning fluid https://www.crcindustries.com/products/crc/crc-brakleen.html now come in various compositions, one non-flammable version... | |
| Glue from inner sleeves leeching onto records mijostyn, rich121,Be careful with CRC Brakleen - it contains mostly Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene) which is a chlorinated hydrocarbon (most CFCs solvents stopped manufacture 1996). If you use CRC Brakleen read the MSDS carefully - ht... |
