| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? Hi Mike,following a quote from the SME site:>>> Intended to be compatible dimensionally with earlier SME models, the 'V' is a rigidly-pivoted tonearm with a 233.15mm stylus-to-pivot distance, and a 23.6350 offset angle. <<< As yo... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Raul,well said! BUT in order to understand this position you take, it needs some intimate knowledge of the subject matter --- and unfortunately this takes time, and more importantly interest AND motivation to acquire it.A lot of folks don't want t... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Unsound,I was being fastidious again I guess, dang. In fact I happen to agree with you COMPLETELY i.e. just do not try to get too 'pure' and too hung-up on insertion losses, all in favour of this ULIMATE transparency / immediacy goal.We are on the... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Detlof, thank you!A very good contribution and showing some VERY clear and profound insight into this subject. You mentioned the goose bumps --- right, right on!But now, PLEASE goose bumps where the music intended it, and NOT ad-hock by a lacking ... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Thank you Cdc,somebody with some sense -- and no dentist fears as it seems.That “greater than live” - I keep calling it ‘hyper-reality’, seems to cause some of the fright-flight response. And my question was, IS THAT WHERE IT'S AT?It obviously IS,... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Hi Raul,I have to admit getting a bit exasperated by Dave's not understanding what a generator is. Yet he otherwise seems to ask relevant questions, but always sounding more like the Doubting Thomas -- a saint never the less?Don't know if it is ... | |
| Geometry for pivot tonearms - calculation errors?? Hi,I'll think about it. I'd say it sounds the right idea. Also, I don't want to 'twist' this thread into the wrong direction. Thanks for the suggestions.Greetings,Axel | |
| Geometry for pivot tonearms - calculation errors?? Raul,you are one of a dieing breed that STILL knows about MMs! That does in way mean to imply that you ONLY know about that. But how many folks have gone through a truck load of that MM stuff? Nobody I'll ever know I'm sure, so please see it as a ... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? OK Dave,if you would have ever worked with an SUT you'd give me less of a hard time. I might misread what you try to tell me -- but it sounds like: bumble bees can't fly i.e. must be due also to the: "first law of thermodynamics"...Please forgive ... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Gawdbless,and I wish you a good dentist to take care of you! And thanks for your deep insight, always like some weighty contribution (-:Unsound, I have tried that 'clipped' link version of Thiel, it also bombs. I think they want to get some cookie... | |
| Geometry for pivot tonearms - calculation errors?? Howdy,here me meet again. Just been thinking about Dear Lewm's input, which makes me think to start a thread for the 'poor' V owners i.e. which carts are a GOOD/BEST fit?I guess we'd mostly look for MCs despite Raul's most extensive experience in ... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Raul, you're the man! Couldnt agree more with you. Note: The Azimuth has to items to it: lateral and vertical Herr Tonearm explained...Vertical is A OK with a cart like PW in an SME, it allows for some degree of tilting due to it's 3 point mounti... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? One more thing to help understand this concept: A cart is a GENERATOR! and not some fixed current source.Axel | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Hi Dave,uff, let me try this. You are right that a higher output voltage (at the secondary) would come at the cost of a lower current --- IF you would not be able to DRAW more current through the cart coil, but you can. That is the WHOLE point.As ... | |
| SPU Royal N on an SME V arm? Howdy Dougdeacon,effective mass of a tone arm got zilch to do with a cart hanging off it. It's what the arm brings into the equation on it's own.THEN you add the cart, etc. and figure out the resonance. If an arm has more 'beef' to it (even at the... |
