The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge
Hi,So much for 'misconceptions'.It did bug me, so I went to the source, ah lookie here, 5k USD as I'd recalled. Now don't hold it against me if I had recalled a web-quoted price and not some 'special deal'. Just for the record, and THAT when the U... 
The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.?
Hi Lewm,excellent all’s as clear as can be, jolly good show. I, incidentally, didn't imply you where arguing my logic, hm. Sorry if it sounded that way.One fact remains that I was 'foxed' at the start with SUTs, and there are a-plenty reviewers th... 
Add Headshell weight to track better?
Hi so sooooooooory,I got this 0.4 mV from a website and it was obviously VERY wrong.So SUT in NOT an option at all. Please accept my apologies, and thanks for watching out with a pealed eye.Axel 
The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.?
Hi all,there is something that seems to 'fox' Lewm with the different loading values, and Intactaudio got some of it --but not all.A cart working in 'voltage mode' MUST work into some 'highish' level of impedance, in order to work at all. Most MCs...

Herr Tonearm,I'm going to log out now, I see that we are for some reason out of sync. Your are still busy with my older responses. No problem. Thanks for the great detail offered.Take care,Axel 
The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.?
Hi Lewm,+++ I did mean to ask whether the sole parallel resistance on the secondary side of your SUT is the 47K-ohm input Z of the phono section.+++YES SIR, right as you say!+++...when my phono pre has oodles of gain and sounds great.+++Well, as w...

Hi Herr Tonearm,thanks for the offer re.: calling :-)When I'm looking East (for long enough..) I'll see the Indian Ocean. Methinks, that's gonna be too much phone-cost since we have no real discrepancy in perception anymore.Ain't that something fo...

Hallo Herr Doctor,Ich must geschimpfen! Sending me on a wild goose-chase for your IEC-standard comments, eish!None such that my searches will scratch out of this endless pandering stream of "Prices of oldskool tonearms"Lots of FR tonearm info sure... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Hallo Herr Dr. Tonearm,now this is getting somewhere, very good!This pivot / spindle distance actually only came about because of our protracted discourse, and me having it measured, no effort lost, methinks. Also, some bystanders may profit, all ... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Hallo Herr Tonearm :-) and who ever is still with us… As I said, my tonearm pivot to spindle centre is to SME spec. as it turns out, (with my current cart, Per Windfeld).I thought THAT was the salient point of YOUR departure on the –DEFINITIVE- tr... 
Add Headshell weight to track better?
Howdy Toufu,1) go do some resonance checking on:http://www.resfreq.com/resonancecalculator.html2) It could just be that some added weight (but VERY little) could be of some help. That could be if your arm resonance is out of the acceptable band (t... 
SPU Royal N on an SME V arm?
Thanks Jcarr,I have a notion that these are truely very good arms, but then so is an SME-V, right?Since I also have an SME tt, I count on synergy here and will spend money on music rather.Thank you for the info though,Axel

Dertonarm,one more thing :-)Done my pivot / spindle measurement on the SME-V and it is: 215.35 mm give or take 0.0... something!The adjustments with a PW, Dorian, DV X20-L are minute actually, all changing this distance value by some few 100th of ... 
The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.?
Hi Lewm,That a trannie sounds better (ONLY MC!) is simply due to it using its "strength" - current delivery, rather then it's "weak point" - voltage (micro Volts). It enables the cart to 'dig up' more detail / dynamics etc. More current through th... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Howdy Dertonarm, and AllI had some time to speak to the old Egyptians (during my sleep last night), so here goes.1) It is impossible to adjust overhang by moving the whole tonearm !! THIS STATEMENT (ON ITS OWN) IS INCORRET. OVERHANG IS THE DISTANC...
