| Tracking error or ?? @rauliruegas Thanks Raul. I'm not jumping ship on a Linn Klimax for a Rega 10 ( even though this is a good table). BTW, please do check your spelling in your last post...;0)If i move on from the Linn, it would be to a Basis or maybe a TW. Both of... | |
| Tracking error or ?? IMO Any arm will have its pluses and minuses, including the Aro. Question is whether it works well on the table that one is planning on mounting it and with the cartridge that one utilizes. The LP12 is a severely limited platform for mounting afte... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rauliruegas Raul, I am not considering the original Naim Aro, I am interested in the new Naim Aro that has just been released on the Solstice table. I have no idea if this arm will be available separately, but if it is, then I think it could be ... | |
| New power tubes lacking low end and slam OP, how old are your small signal tubes...signal and driver? As lewm adroitly points out above ( better than i could) these could be the issue you are experiencing, along with break-in ( although this I doubt if the bottom end response is severely... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @scar972 I doubt it is the record. The other records i played that night were all fine, but this LP has more dynamics and modulations in the groove than those. While the record could be damaged now, I don't think it was before I played it that n... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @boothroyd Some good suggestions there. This is probably a time when it would pay to have two turntable set ups. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rossb I think that is a good suggestion. I would like to have an arm with more adjustment than the PU7, but I would certainly not discount the PU7. Did you have the Kuzma 4 point 9? If so, was it on the LP12? | |
| Tracking error or ?? @imhififan A worn out track would definitely be a culprit, but I think in my case this is not the situation. I have heard a very small amount of distortion on a few other highly dynamic and highly modulated tracks. Always in the right channel, w... | |
| New power tubes lacking low end and slam I think you have an integrated? If so, you probably have driver tubes for the amp section and signal tubes for the preamp. This should be addressed in the manual. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @tomic601 Wearing out the Kleos is not really part of my plan. I have considered jumping ship on the Linn, simply due to its severely hobbled tonearm scenario, but i still like the basic platform. ( plus, with the new Karousel bearing, it sounds ... | |
| New power tubes lacking low end and slam You may want to check your driver tubes. I replaced these recently and the difference in low end slam was considerable. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rauliruegas While I know that the 4 Point is not exactly a uni pivot, and does attempt to do away with the issue of 'rotating on the point' that afflicts the true uni pivot design, I think it has much more in common with a uni pivot than a gimba... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @tomic601 Thanks for the post. I haven't had a chance to try the table yet, but I have increased the AS a little. There is no exactitude to the arm adjustments, so it is probably a little bit of trial and error. I do question whether Mijostyn's p... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @mijostyn I'm not following you with regards to your point about the WTA having added mass?The WTA is one of the lightest tonearms around, so light that I can use it with no issues even on my LP12, without disturbing its ultra sensitive suspensio... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @mijostyn Interesting that you believe the WTA is not a good arm. Yes, it does have characteristics of a uni pivot, but it also has zero bearing noise or 'pivot chatter'. I do think that there are certainly better arms out there, but would like t... |
