| Tonearm microphonics What you are listening is totally normal because that tonearm has mounted a very sensitive microphone in that Skala cartridge ( or any cartridge, it does not matters. ) that when we tap a tonearm we can have that kind of tiny " sound ". Nothing wr... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D "take the best quasi-unipivot design and the best fixed one and through an electronic microscope in slow motion see what is happening at the stylus tip/groove on playback becaause at micrtoscopic levels you, me or any one can't see if exist that w... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D "The important issue here it's that the skate force exist through all the cartridge ridding in a pivoted tonearm...we just can't say: I like it more with out the antiskate mechanism."For goodness sake Raul yes yes yes we an say that we prefer to u... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? " Problem with your opinion is that you can’t attest ( first hand ) on ..."There is no problem with his opinion at all Raul so kindly leave him alone and the rest of us to conclude as we wish. You are always posting your "opinions" and have made ... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D " Imagine when in true motion ridding those grooves with all those huge ( every direction ) generated forces ! !"I know you "imagine" these huge forces Raul but it doesn't make any sense perhaps you should check your VTF todays cartridges track... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D "any tonearm suffers from that torional huge forces but the unipivots are where affects in the worst way to that very hard cartridge job."Raul I can easily see why you promote this belief because how can you have stability when the stylus is lu... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D "It has been experimentally shown that with such high pressures and forces of friction between stylus and the vinyl, that the outer skin layer of the record material melts as the tip slides over the plastic and then refreezes almost as fast ... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D "If I remember the latest information about was by Dr. A:J Van denHul who measured 160° celcius between the stylus tip and groove"This is another "funny fact" from Raul that is like his claim that VTF is "infinite" because the contact area of a st... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms "It's no surprise for me that I found out these kind of non-accurate tonearm set up numbers in almost all japanese tonearms and only confirm what I posted here and that in the " old times " there were a not very clear of the importance of accuracy... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Raul thank you again I am still laughing away over you're logic that relies on the assumptions of "infinites" to arrive at real-world conclusions about tonearm pivots. To help you develop you're own arithmetic model rather than relying on the flaw... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D "When this concentration of pressure upon the points of contact is calculated, we find it to be approximately 26 tons per square inch... The most interesting photos to me described the "infinite" amount of force applied to the groove by the sph... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? " 5k speaker cables should come with a tube of KY"That doesn't sound like fun to me but if that's what you enjoy in the privacy of your own home then no one should criticize you. | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D The cartridge stylus tip is below a " tremendous " task where are generated hard and huge forces when ridding the LP recorded grooves...Those movements/vibrations are not a tiny ones but huge ones to generates unstabilities at the tonearm bearin... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms "last chance to show your ignorance level "Sorry Raul I don't debate fools and I don't accept ultimatums so you can take your threat and do what you like with it but you are in no position to inform me that this is my "last chance" to do anything.... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms @clearthink: Dead silence?, well that's your privilege. Btw, you are not alone on that audio subject: at least one revier shares your knowledge level. If you think that is my privilege why don't you be quiet and leave me alone why do you think ... |
