| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Nandric, it was a really sad and dramatic end for Klaus Renner. And yes - since DAS OHR was literally his "baby", there was no way it outlasted it's father and founder. It was one of the very few magazines ever totally independent from advert... | |
| micro seiki ma-505x Dear Rnadell, the "x" features silver inside wiring and a second counter weight. Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Nandric, dear T_bone, I discussed the FR-64s alignment parameters briefly with Klaus Renner (founder and editor of DAS OHR who sadly passed away while still in his thirties in 1991/2) in the mid-1980ies. Based on initial proposals of A. Wagne... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Pryso, no problem. My "question" was rather ironic and could easily lead to a misunderstanding. Mea culpa.Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear all, "that Dennesen designer" was Francis G. Dennesen himself, together with Richard Wilson, Roy D. Toulan Jr. and Peter Madnick. Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Pryso, as D. read the Dennesen patent paper and measured the alignment spot distance to spindle center with a sliding caliper back in 1991, he knows since 20 years that the Dennesen follows Löfgren A/Baerwald IEC.But it was certainly funny to... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Halcro, to avoid any misleading info here, let me state that "my" calculation for the FR-64s gives - even with VE calculator ...;-) ..... - for the last 66% (i.e. 2/3 of the grooved area) of the record an average of 40% less distortion than B... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Genesis168, despite what some here on Audiogon did say past early winter in a deleted thread, the original Dennesen Soundtraktor is 100% Löfgren A / Baerwald IEC."My" calculation for the FR-64s has nothing to do with Stevenson.The original ma... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear all, just out of curiosity - does anyone know, what calculation is used with the Dennesen Soundtraktor ?Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear all, the UNI-Protractor does feature on it's main frame laser engraved the inner radii for both IEC and DIN standard in a way that if you place it on the record, you can immediately read-out what is the inner groove limit of the record.Thus g... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Halcro, the change to 231.5 mm mounting distance (and thus effective length, offset(slightly) and overhang does indeed result is a lower overall distortion level for about 74% of the grooved area compared to the "original" specification in th... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Nandric, indeed - essential in our modern times and as such a result of evolution and the need to evolve to survive. An bengal phrase says that it is only the most quiet moments that one can hear a divine voice. As there are no more truly qui... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Sounds a bit like back in 1982 when the introduction of the CD was hailed as the perfect sound forever ......Time went by.As always.BTW - did anybody ever noticed, that life itself is full of "noise" and artificial by-products, which most of the t... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear T_bone, you hit the nail on the head. For instance any derivation from a given tonearms design inherent offset angle results in an alternation of it's mechanical model - here it results in an additional breakdown torque, which has profound ef... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Jj2468, the linear tracking tonearms - in any incarnation we have seen so far from Rabco, Denessen, Goldmund, Versa Dynamics, Air Tangent, Eminent, Forsell et al -displayed mechanical issues, periphery problems and stability problems which di... |
