| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Ok,more "off-set" friction. I'm lost, but learned to be stuck, just being with the question :-)More to learn as it seems. So thank you all for your patience and kind participation, massaging my lack of awareness in this matter.Axel | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Dertonarm,I'm a bit lost with the concept "that the bearing of the tonearm is not able to *completely support* the resulting force towards the inner groove"All that means to me the friction of the tonearm-bearing subtracts itself from the skate fo... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Mark,+++ The frictional force vector is in the direction of relative motion between the stylus and the vinyl. +++>>>Yes!When the stylus is following a groove, this direction is tangent to the groove curvature. >>>Yes!When the sty... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Mark,ja now fine, and so we have even more discrepancies since I, for the sake of TRUE simplification, been talking over and again about BLANK vinyl, and the stylus point riding on this smooth surface --- AND THEREBY taking any of this groove tang... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Mark,am I having a different understanding of what is off-set?It may explain perhaps some crossed wire..."Off-set" in my vocab is the angle that a head-shell / cart /cantilever is mounted out of the true / straight line with the tone-arm-wand i.e.... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Thank you Mark,but you are missing the friction force in your test suggestion, present in variable degrees due to variable VTF / stylus shape / friction, as mentioned. Therefore there will *always* be a skate force present even at 0 mm over-hang :... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Al,I'm fine by that, it does not contradict any of my own findings.Axel | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Ok, move the SME arm forward you change the off-set angle yes. Again, if you are running on the pin-point of the stylus, it has NO influence at all, at what angle that pin point rubs on smooth vinyl as a pin has no unequal sides --- unless that is... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Hi,funny, talking with my 'learned friends' I find *experiment most ALWAYS precedes scientific explanation...* :-)I just now proved to myself by simply sliding my SME V arm forward from its ~ 18mm overhang to some more without changing VTF = 1.25g... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Hm,I still don't get it, call me stupid alright :-)Put any (hypothetical) 20, 60, 90 deg. off-set angle on a POINT contact only stylus (I'm not talking distortion right now) just spinning on a blank vinyl -- what effect will you notice as long as ... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query another *sector* should of course read: another *vector*... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Dear Mark,use your test, whereby the tip of the stylus only touches the vinyl. The contact area thereby sees no off-set, and simply assumes the shortest point between contact area and pivot = one of the vectors. Overhang to the spindle is creating... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Hi,anti-skate force is a ~99% function of the OVERHANG!... have I been missing something?!Without overhang, no vector force, no skating force. If you had "underhang" you'd create a vector force once again, but it is not of practical interest other... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Hi guys,this developing argument reminds me somehow of what Søren Kierkegaard (19th century Danish philosopher) who once said: "If you get married you'll regret it, if you don't get married you'll also regret it, and if get married or do not get m... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Doug & JC,I follow this interaction of your ---- and I like to mention what might be know to you and is in some way mentioned.Take the SAME cart, say a Lyra Dorian and fit it in a REGA 300 arm or say Pro-Ject 9c (carbon tube), switch off th... |
