| Tracking error distortion audibility Hello Peterayaer,An arc protractor works perfectly for one specific effective length only. This requires the cartridge to be moved (i.e. in the headshell slots) to match that length as precisely as possible. Any arc protractor designed for a parti... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Hi Axel and the rest of the "gang",Here are the figures relevant for an SME V:Let's say cart A has a mounting hole to stylus distance of 9,5mm, cart B is unusually "short" and features 6,5mm mh-s distance and finally, we have cart C, the Jaguar E-... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Hello to everyone,A few facts that proove some of the above wrong or, at least, serve as food for thought.Actual Lyra cartridge measurements, mounting hole to stylus:Dorian: 10mmHelikon: 8mmTitan: 9,5mmOlympos SL: 9,3mmOther examples showing that ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hello Dertonarm,>The "air-pulse" drive (no pulse would exclude a problem) has some considerable problems while looking close to a theoretical ideal first. It not only will require considerably (really serious...) periphery, but indeed a "assist... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hello Lewm,No, I don't agree with Dertonarm's contention. If you reread my posts, you'll find that I'm trying to point out that there are several ways of approaching the challenges to run a platter at constant speed, ALL of which are flawed in one... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hi again,Mark Kelly is correct about the tension differential, provided the thread/belt does stretch and that there are frictional losses in the platter/bearing system. I don't think he said that slippage was neccessary, but rather that it was una... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Dear T bone,>Would not the drive (pull) side have a different tension than the 'lag' side - thereby making same resonance on 4 strings impossible?<You are correct if the thread has stretch and is under tension. Dertonarm suggests the use of ... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Hi everyone,I know I will regret posting in response to some of the above, but before I comment on some of what Dertonarm has postulated above repeatedly, allow me to address the original question:For any given motor/powersupply combination there ... | |
| 12 inch tonearms Dear Raul,Anyone who has the tools/capability to set up a 9" arm perfectly will be able to set up a 12"er just as well.But on a 12"er, any deviation from perfect will result in the nullpoints being farther off the ideal(be it Baerwald or Loefgren)... | |
| 12 inch tonearms Hello Norm,It's o.k. if someone else posts links to reviews, I'd rather refrain from it to avoid giving the impression I'm advertising my product. A google search will show up several online mag reviews and if you need more info contact me private... | |
| 12 inch tonearms Hi Restock,Boy, was that review ever a desaster...The reviewer had the arm for a year(then spent a good week mounting and listening...), didn't read the manual before setting up the arm, lists it as having an eff. length of 315mm when in fact it h... | |
| 12 inch tonearms Hi,The SME 3012 is another example of a 12"er that beats its 9 and 10" siblings. Not necessarily because of the reduced tracing error(that too, if set up perfectly), but because of the heavier counterweight that results in a heavier load on the kn... | |
| Schroder2 arm near a window +heater/airconditioner Hello emailists,No, weather conditions might affect your mood, but certainly not the arm. I would still advise against setting up your turntable close to an air conditioner as most cartridges are sensitive to variations in humidity and temperature... | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way Hi guys,Thanks for the kind words. I actually started to "train" friends that were out of a job twice. One architect and model builder, the other a master piano maker. I spent about three months before either was able to make a usable part. And ea... | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way Dear Jyprez,Just for the record. I never left anyone's mails unanswered for 14 months. If mails from a specific individual/server are blocked by my provider or the firewall, why not give me a call? Many audiophiles have done this, quite a few of t... |
