| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, dear Chris, dear Nikola, "such passion" - really? I rather perceive this tread and discussion about the pro and cons of "free" arm pods as being moderate and kind of "in cool ( if not cold ...) blood".In any case - I certainly do not w... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nikola, I died many times for the absolute truth and will most probably continue to do so.My problem with gravity is that I never managed to overcome it in the sense of Douglas Adam's "Hitchhiker's Guide"-Circle...... ;^) .....The "cruel mist... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, - yes, science is a cruel misstress and the physic laws which apply to the circumstances on this particular planet aren't always to my liking too.I really hate gravity for instance ...;^) .... Cheers,D. | |
| Tonearm Geometry and Setup Dear Nandric, "we" (... we, the people ...) do indeed have a choice which of several options we do choose.It does depend on personal preferences, stereo or mono, vintage of the majority of the records one owns/plays ( how close cut to inner label ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewm, while tonearm alignment in general is the most critical mechanic-related topic in the whole audio periphery, it is even more critical in the "outboard arm pod".We like to think that if we do not "touch" the arm pod nor the tt by acciden... | |
| Tonearm Geometry and Setup Dear Rdavwhitaker, true. No the question is, what are the best points and what does mean "least distortion"..... least distortion where on the records radius .... the groove is not homogenous, as the radius is decreasing ever more with lesser dist... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, dear Lewm, I am happy to talk in length about tangential curve and tonearm(s) "on their own", but we should do this in a separate thread. Because - IMHO - this will soon leave Copernican view and separate arm pods ....So much for now... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewm, youe assumption is correct - the Dynavector tonearms are designed following Stevenson IEC calculation. Stevenson IEC was pretty popular among japanese tonearm designers in the 1970ies and after.While I am not really a fan of the Stevens... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, dear Lewm, the japanese tonearm engineers of the 1970ies and 1980ies did not at all sign up to the Baerwald tangential curve. At least not the majority of them. And for some good reason.They realized pretty early, that the situation ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, your cardinal will be recognized one day as being a very good candidate for the next to-be-elected pope ....;-) ... despite the fact that in his heart a very short and tiny coil is moving.Cheers,D. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Thuchan, enjoy the sun. I certainly do not want to spoil your anticipation for the SPU w/inbuilt XFRs, but don't hang your expectations too high. It is neither a pope nor a king nor a cardinal. Rather a wandering priest with little insight in... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, catching up on your comment to Thuchan .... what is the difference between a pessimist and an optimist?The pessimist says "all women are wicked" - the optimist says "dearly hope so !".Cheers,D. | |
| 9-in arm for SPUs with easy VTA ? In terms of sonics in the "FR-64-family" (FR-64, FR-64fx, FR-64s) , go for the FR-64s ONLY - and try to find a B-60 (which was never sold with the FR-64s, but only in a package with the FR-66s).It was available as a separate item however.Be prepar... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Ecir38, yes - the UNI-P2S is a stand-alone-device.It features 0.05 mm accuracy and can measure mounting distance up to 15" or 38 cm. It has some unique features of it's own.The UNI-P2S nevertheless can be used in close conjunction with the UN... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear T_bone, dear Wrm57, let me add some technical parameters to the discussion.The UNI-IEC features zero points at 116.39 and 67.44 mm radius (very close to what T_bone once named "Dert67" ... ;-) ...).After radius approx. 117, this alignment has... |
