| Schroeder Reference Arm Hi Thom,Sorry, I just ran into this thread again and would like to add two things. First:"Once you achieve the right torque, there's no difference between the alloy and wood headshells, according to Frank."You must have misunderstood what I meant.... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Hi guys,I wasn't refering to either dmailers or anyone elses assessment as "speculation", quite the opposite. I supported the concept of decisions based upon personal preferences/listening impressions rather than an attempt to (pseudo-)objectivly ... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Hi everyone,Wouldn't it be beneficial to quit speculating about the possible causes for sonic differences between tonearms or, more precisely tonearm/cartridge combinations(and ta/cart/table/phonostage combinations etc....) until we actually had a... | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? Hello,Peter is not an assembly line robot, he is a human being that gets sick from time to time, partly because he works way too much. And he does it out of his strong feeling of responsibility for the people he employs. His obligation to customer... | |
| RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet Hi Thom,Thanks for the link. But there is nothing paranormal about me telling colleagues like Chris Brady to try it after he introduced platters with a brass bottom section.On the other hand, Micha Huber(Thales tonearm designer) implemented such a... | |
| RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet Hi Thom,What's a "hundred monkey sort of thing"?Never had the pleasure to talk to Mark Kelly, but did exchange a few mails about half a year ago. I was hoping he could make it to the RMAF, but as you know, he had to be elsewhere.Cheers,Frank | |
| RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet Hi guys,Just a couple of remarks regarding the Artemis SA-1 table. The wider based plinth version is more expensive due to the plinth material being three times more expensive(than the bamboo used on the small footprint deck) and more timeconsumin... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Aahh, sorry, please ignore my last post as its core content can be found in some of the earlier posts. I replied, not realizing that there were two more columns of posts to read.Guess I should hit the sack...Good night, Frank | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Off the original topic, but hopefully answering a question posted here:A straight tonearm or a tonearm that is s-shaped(but is in perfect lateral balance) that relies on the counterweight to be moved for setting VTF will NOT cause a VTF change whe... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Good evening Dertonarm,It has been my experience that even "seasoned" vinylphiles do benefit from a few words of advice when it comes to setting up one of my arms. If you feel that you don't need to take advantage of my offer, - no problem.I would... | |
| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? Hi Jonathan,For a start, please check out:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1235522919&openflup&128&4#128You wrote:"One thing that I haven't seen yet in these threads is an effort to _quantify_ the change in distortion ... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Good evening Mr. Kurt aka Dertonarm,Regardless of your disliking or lack of understanding of my products, I do not understand what gives you the right to post false or misleading information about my person.For the record:I studied graphic arts an... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Hi again,Dertonarm: "Dear all, after we have now learned that finally all parameters of the tonearm geometry are variable, nothing can stop us now entering analog heaven."Yup, if your tonearm offers the key parameters to be varied, you can indeed ... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Hello Dertonarm,Since my record collection numbers about 10000 with more than 60% being classical(and about 1/2 of those dating to 1965 and earlier), I know exactly what you are talking about.I chose singles as an obvious example to make a point a... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Hello Axel,Believe me, I'm anal about cartridge alignment...If the generator isn't mounted dead center inside the cartridge housing and you can't shift it by 0,3mm, then you'll have to rotate it and slide it forward or backward, depending on the g... |
