| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? So Halcro you are an architect...or maybe just a ‘draftsman’...lol..Your understanding of structural engineering tells me everything I need to know,...i think you need to go back to school...and ask the teacher about this subject...and be prepared... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @halcro Stop trolling yourself. You know we have had the discussion before...and you are dead wrong. I asked a mech/ structural engineer about the “moment connection” of a solid one piece headshell vs a two piece removable headshell...and as you w... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? and the system owner posted that he will change one SAT for the terrible double knife bearing design SAEC 506/30 that I owned. This is double knife when the 3012 is knife/gimball.Which kind of advisors has Tango and some of the other gentlemans po... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @jeff1225 If anyone is a complete idiot it’s you...you couldn’t even figure out how to scroll down the page! Tango compared his SAT to his SME on his AS 2000 table, not on his Air Force One! This is when he came to the conclusion that he liked his... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @jeff1225 look at my link again... this time scroll down.. or are u just trying to troll.:0( | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @rauliruegas Raul, no one has stated that there are no good removable headshell designs...however, if all else is equal, the loss at the removable headshell junction to the arm is going to be a factor vs. the one piece headshell with no wiring jun... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @jeff1225 You know what they say about people who assume things...look here...and then stop ass uming, LOL: https://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?26052-American-Sound-AS-2000-Installations-Far-East-(T... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @halcro great that you cannot hear the differences. Like I said,YMMV. | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @ halcro.obvious to anyone once they hear the losses with this set up (SME removable headshell) vs. a well designed fixed headshell...YMMV. | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @jeff1225 you are assuming something....that something is that the fellow who is using the SAT and comparing it to his his SME3012R is using the SAT on the Air Force One... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @rauliruegas Agreed, with the SME3012R, the main problem does lie with the chatter induced by the Knife edged bearing. However, the removable headshell does present problems. While it allows for more flexibility with cartridge selection and experi... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @lewmThere is a supposition being made here...and that is the user who reports that the SAT is less satisfying than his SME3012R arm is actually listening to the SAT on an appropriate platform and with the correct set up of the SAT arm. Somehow, I... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @moonglumindeed there are a number of disciples on that forum. Many of them have never even heard the SME3012R arm, but that doesn’t stop them from wanting it, lol. A’philes are well known for buying with their eyes vs their ears. Or better still,... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @lewm You said that you find it hard to believe that there are no other competitor that is superior to the SME 3012R. There are loads of great tonearms that are far superior to the old ’war horse’ SME! ( SME themselves have stated that the old des... | |
| What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge? @chakster that advice is not universal. Any stylus can be damaged and worn in far less time, depending on whether the arm is adjusted correctly, the overall treatment of the cartridge, and most importantly- the condition of the vinyl that is being... |
