| Who tweaks VTF too? Dear Zaikesman, the correct VTF for a given cartridge can't be "tweaked", as it co-determines the correct - i.e. symmetrical - position of the coils/magnets in the magnetic field. In other words: - there is only ONE correct value for a given cartr... | |
| The best alignment for 7 inch singles? Dear Downunder, interesting request - 7" singles ..... I will design an UNI-template for 7" and ( while we already at it ....) one specific for 10" records too.Will ship both to you in mid september after my return from holiday.Cheers,D. | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor A note - as I am not yet off the computer.A protractor with just a helping line saying "please rotate till this line points toward the pivot" (talking about eyesight and good target....) has certainly potential for increased accuracy. The laser li... | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor John_gordon, no so far there isn't a new formula. But then - is there really a need for one?Given the wide variation in records grooved radius, there is no "royal device"/Königsweg. The user/operator/analog enthusiast ultimately has to choose the ... | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Dear Nikola, spindle diameter variations are usually between 7,00 to 7,25 mm - so we are talking derivations between spindle diameters of maximum 0.25 mm.As long as one tries to be as precise as possible in as many parameters as possible, it is at... | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Löfgren just used euclidean geometry - as does did everybody before/after him in the past 2260+ years in the western hemisphere - be it in tonearm geometry or any other geometrical topic related to mechanics and 3-dimensonal space on earth.He was ... | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Dear Cocoabaroque, when Loefgren and Baerwald calculated the respective tangential curves (Baerwald/Loefgren A and Loefgren B), they did do it for monophonic records to be tracked with round styli of approx. 60 µm radius.Stereo microgroove and fin... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Thuchan,T_bone is referring to the "cantilever effect". A separate armboard/armpod should be linked to the plinth by means which are as rigid and as stiff as the material of the plinth itself. Otherwise you would create an "elastic joint" similar ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewis (Lewm), IMHO the "conductivity of energy" is a key feature/issue in tonearms and turntables (and associated arm pods, plinth, platters). It is at least if one tries to get the most dynamic, live-like and uncolored sonic results.It is a ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro, Jcarr's "table of material's sonic quality" is correct. The key is the decreasing ability/speed to transmit energy in the different processed materials. Cheers,D. | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Dear Thekong, the alignment I did choose actually minimizes distortion in the last 2/3 ( not just last 1/3) of the record groove's radius.Cheers,D. | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Hi Thekong, the null points will shift and the curve will be a different one. If you go to Vinyl Engine and play a bit with the alignment comparator - you will see, that small alternations have huge impact.Cheers,D. | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Dear Thekong, dear Nandric, we should in specific worry about where on the groove's radius the maxima and minima are located. The groove's walls do change with decreasing radius and thus do the conditions for the stylus' polished areas. Thats why ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Sonofjim, right now the UNI-Protractor is readily available and ships within 8 working days following order. Due to very good sales in the 1st and 2nd full production run we decided to produce some "overstock" and can supply limited quantitie... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry,it is not disputed at all - at least not by me - that a "nude" turntable paired with an "isolated/free" armpod(s) can sound very good.For a limited period of time.With certain arm/cartridge combination (the higher the compliance - the b... |
