| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Hi Dan_ed,thank you for your thoughtful input. Though, the key word here might just be --- IF --- or?:-)AxelPS: IF that distance is way out, as some carts seem to be, the stock adjusting templates e.g. SME can become pretty useless. You suggest to... | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Hi,some ideas goes like this: The SMALLER the stylus the more it would use information deeper down in the groove and more away from the surface damage.Additionally a smaller stylus has less weight = less inertia = better tracking. It also goes lik... | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Hi Larryi,well said, and exactly my very own experience also. A 0.3mm change in VTA makes a difference (as I mentioned in a reated thread) --- but should that be so critical?! It makes a case for non-optimal VTA for many another record, depending ... | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Hi all,I think on getting back to the subject. So Frank (forum alias, Berlinta), has brought up a VERY good point. HOW, do different stylus shapes INFLUENCE the HARMONICS of the INEVITABLE distortion we have (at least with arms describing an arc, ... | |
| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? Hallo Frank,you say:>>> What hasn't been addressed is the question whether different stylus profiles cause a difference in the magnitude and in the makeup(even/odd order harmonics) of those distortions. <<<It is ECAXTLY because o... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance HALLO!!!!!!!Welcome to the world of sharing :-)It just shows that it helps to keep things level. I for one did not know that Frank was alias Berlinta (Berlin TA --- ah, so!). Well at least I only had nice things to say about you Frank. And having ... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi all,one thing came to mind when reading about silicone damping being considered a 'crutch' to make up for lack of arm to cart matching ---- but wait, there are arms that use 'damping' a their required part of operation!Well Tempered (now a golf... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Jloveys,>>> Speaking of Dr. Feickert, doesn't his alignment device measures the exact distance between the needle and the pivot point ? This is the question of this thread isnit ?<<<Dr. Christian Feickert's device might do exact... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Tz, tz, tz, Daniel, I see what this is here. Now don't tell us Herr Dr. Feickert is also part of the no discussion theme?I met HIM promoting HIS player at the RMAF, and he had little time for the SME products, he resides way above such non-scienti... | |
| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? Hi Jonathan,GREAT post, thank you! Hell, and I just had though my thread's gone stone dead.You mention the rubber damper, I guess it's what some older folks call the 'gummi' right?If that is so, than there is that other item, 'Spanndraht' tension ... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Hi Daniel,maybe I should have REALLY mentioned his first name, it's Frank and not Gerhard, ja bitte!I think he IS too busy making his product(s), and of course selling it. Don't know if he has a shop at the Reichstag, though? So he would have forg... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Hi Lewm,I think to recall it was you, who asked about WHO (on earth..?) gives two different loading specs for MC carts i.e. Non inverting RIAA equalizer, and SUTsWell, our dear forum member and Lyra cart designer Jonathan Carr does. Thank you Jona... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Hi,looks like Herr Schroeder (Tonarme) got it right. I won't post his take, it'll blow the lid of some folks, nursing other opinions...In short, don't get hang up on all these variable measurements, since you can't change them. Learn how to tweak ... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi all,looks like that thread is also done for, finished... Cross-over arguments been beaten to hell in some other places, and harmonics --- which, ahh what?!But, thank you for sharing...AxelPS: still too frightened (not again!) to look into that ... | |
| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? Hi all,seems that thread got exhausted quite quickly. And what I take from it: There is NO benefit with non-stock alignment.Jolly good to know, it will save me some bucks spending on any of these aftermarket protractors.Thank you for sharing,Axel |
