| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 03-15-10: DertonarmHi Darkmoebius...My sonic descriptions (I knew that would be coming back against me.... ;-)....) were done to "illustrate" the sonic results of the bearing rigidity and the mechanical problems in linear trackers. Aaaaah, gotcha... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 03-14-10: C1ferrariSomewhat off topic, but I'm rather curious...have you listened to analogue reel-to-reel masters (or close to them)? The sound is/has the potential to be exquisite and the experience - revelatory! There are a few threads here in ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 03-14-10: DertonarmBut by now I finally realize that I am only spoiling the party here. Not at all, I think most of us(even linear-arm owners) see your contribution as refreshing, insightful, and highly educational. Nor do I think anyone disagrees... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? We need Jonathan Carr to chime on in this discussion. He designs cartridges for Lyra and used to post on some audio forms a few years ago. But, i can't remember which website.I be he'd have a lot of insight to share on cartridge design, tolerances... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Texas boys: Are Earl Campbell's "Earl The Pearl" hot links and sausages still as good as I remember them ~15 years ago? I passed through Austin working on a US tour and was simply blown away at his links. I see that he's got a few restaurants now,... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Bongo,I'd be happy to make the run wherever you've got free time hit dinner or lunch.For Sushi, we've got quite a few good places here in the Lomita/Torrance area due to the large Japanese population of Honda and Toyota executives from their Torra... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers On the price of pizza...A good college friend (w/ an MBA) opened Zeppy's Pizza a fairly successful pizza joint in Hermosa Beach on the Pier Walk. Zeppy's makes a deep dish pie that is dough intensive somewhat like a Chicago, but not as greasy/butt... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Bongo, My girlfriend grew up and still lives in Laguna up on the hill - Temple Hills Dr. So, I make it down that way fairly often. Have you tried Eva's(formerly Drew's) Jamaican on the south side of town. I haven't been in a long time, but I do re... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Bong-o,I'm not a big believer in this new high-end, designer, pizza fad that's overtaken LA. Like burgers, pizza is a food of the masses. It's one of the highest profit margin, and cheapest to make, items in all of restauranting. So, a $20 persona... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers 03-11-10: BongofuryWhat I have not found in LA is killer pizza and BBQ. Any recommendations? Gonna check out Phillips. As I mentioned above:J & J Burger Shack (barbecue)5754 West Adams Boulevard, Los Angelesjust East of Farifax & Adams Blv... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Great post Raul!!! | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 03-11-10: MepearsonAs far as cartridge manufacturers giving us any meaningful info on this debate, I am old enough to be cynical enough to think that we couldn't depend on it. Aside from the issues that manufacturers may have no idea what type of ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Aaah, duly noted. Sorry about the mistake, Mepearson.I'm really ambivalent on the subject as far as sonic performance, whichever works best. My pivot arm actually costs more than my linear, so it's not a matter of defending a precious investment. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Correction: Instead of saying At this point, I'd only like to know from cartridge manufacturers or retippers what their observations are I meant to say "At this point, the deciding factor for me is the observations of cartridge manufacturers or re... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 03-11-10: MepearsonThe counter-argument is that people who have long term experience with a cartridge used in an air bearing arm that has shown no visible symptoms of damage may not believe that the theoretical problem exists. I don't think that ... |
