| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear T_bone, yes, different alignments do alter the shape of the tracking error curve. However - it is always a bundle of effects which you can't actually isolate from each other and their dependences. The more "flat" a tracking error curve become... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear 04rdking, please read Jazzgene's full post - he did not like Loefgren B IEC (which is a standard calculation ) and will try the special VPI-template supplied with his UNI-Protractor and the Baerwald/Loefgren A instead. It is a choice of align... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear T_bone,a correct calculated alignment curve - much to my regret ... ;-) ... - has practically almost zero influence on the skating force. Unless the alignment curve is really VERY bad and raises to astronomic values.Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Mesael, Morsiani is right. He is right in that the skating force get's lower/less towards the inner label - i.e. decreases with decreasing groove radius. As the contact area towards the inner groove wall decreases with decreasing radius, so d... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Jazzgene, dear Thuchan, dear Mesael, please allow me to briefly bring some "certainty" into this "vague" topic "anti-skating".Gene and Thuchan - your observations regarding the VPI and SAEC tonearms are correct and backed by physic. A brief s... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear George, that now is a question/comment worth being addressed.The Talea, Schroeder, Clearaudio, SY and before them other tonearm designs ( Well Tempered et al) did use this smart trick for good reason.By this design feature they avoid a pre-de... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear T_bone, just a short side-kick regarding the SME V.....The offset angle of the headshell is pre-determined - sorry, not my idea, but the idea of the SME-deisgner(s). Given the fact that the mounting hole in the SME V is not really intended to... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Dear Antslappy, that was a common concept of SAEC with their top-of-the-line tonearms.The SAEC 506/30 is very similar.However - you can get that kind of alignment with most every 12" tonearm which allows for some alternation of offset angle and ov... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Hi Dev, not yet. Delayed by "real world business commitments" which consumed all my time ...;-) .... hope I can list it tonight.Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Mesael,I do have calculated and designed a special UNI-template for the DaVinci 12". Aside from that, I would recommend Baerwald DIN and IEC as well as Löfgren DIN. That would cover about everything that can come across your way in terms of t... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Opus111, as said before in my earlier post, both tonearms do feature what I consider "worst case scenario-inner wiring". Coaxial with a mixture of gauges and copper/copper-steel litz-wire. Add the additional connector - with two more solder joints... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Mesael, I am sorry, but the production costs of the UNI-Pro (linear drive especially) proofed pretty worse in the 1st production run.Everything with the UNI-Pro is custom designed and many parts needs to be custom made.Aside from the micromet... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Dear Travis, not easy, but if you have any experience, good tools and not too much coffee the day, it will be a work of 3-4 hours. You need a SMD-tip for the solder iron, very precise temperature regulation and very small gauge solder.The main bod... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Dear Downunder, having re-wired both the EA-10 and the MAX-237/282 at least 3 times each (mostly with IKEDA silver PTFE insulated litzwire, I can testify that the stock inner wire of both tonearms is rather a sonic downgrade.Both do feature pretty... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric,the "trumpet" attached to Thuchan's TAD-2002 driver was designed by me and I prepared the technical drawings to have it fine milled from one solid piece in a 3D-CNC-precision milling facility here in Bavaria.It was not easy.It is howe... |
