| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Geoch, I am sorry, but I thought this to be clear from the very start. Maybe a kind of "too specialized"-perspective of mine. It is always about the two null points, where to set them and how to manage to keep the "graph" determined by them r... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Jazzgene, indeed - usually Yip uses Löfgren A/Baerwald for his MINTlp protractors.Cheers,D | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Nandric, any VPI tonearm can be aligned to calculation curves different from the one Harry Weisfeld favors. And there are far more VPI tonearms out "there" than many think. Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Geoch, my calculations for several tonearms are based on my point of view that the last 3rd of the grooved area is more sensible to distortions and tracking error because in the 3-dimensional stereo groove the difference in angle between the ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Genesis168, sure enough Stevenson was not stupid - nor for certain is Harry Weisfeld. Both knew/know what they are doping and why. BTW - Stevenson did in his calculation put the 2nd zero tangential error point ("null point") right at the DIN ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Raul, maybe you should read Löfgren's own papers in the original language they were written - in german. It help's understanding the matter. Löfgren A is today more commonly named Baerwald. Sorry, but Löfgren himself in his later comments ( i... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Raul, you said Dertonarm, everyone is asking here for your precise answers about especially those " special " set up with some specific tonearms. . Sorry, - you are the only one who asks. All others have long understood the context. Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear all, I would like to add, that in professional audio and engineering - at least here in "old" europe - the discussion about Löfgren, Baerwald etc. is long dead.Löfgren and Baerwald did their calculations based on mono pick-ups and in a time w... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Nandric, neither Löfgren nor any of the other (Baerwald, Bauer, Stevenson et al) did "set" the inner limit of grooved area at 57.50 mm or 60.00 mm (distance to center of spindle hole). These were determined by the record industry and the AES ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Genesis168, couldn't agree more with your last post - you recall the phrase by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars III - Revenge of the Sith, just before the final duel starts ?"Only a Sith deals in absolutes" .........;-) ....Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Dev, thank you. The 2nd production run of the uNI-Protractor starts in April 2011 and we are already taking reservations, as the 2nd production run is limited edition too. You may request individual UNI-templates for your Reed 12" as well as ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Nandric, any tonearms performance is always in the ear of the subjective beholder. Furthermore it is dependent on a lot of periphery components which do have effects and (hopefully) synergies. An objective judgement in audio is impossible. Wh... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Raul,you can run your Ikeda in the 506/30 and I am happy to hear that you are satisfied with the performance, but - IMHO ... - the 506/30 is not exploring the performance limits of the Ikeda.Cheers,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Raul, Löfgren has not "detected" anything. Neither did Baerwald nor Stevenson nor any of the other persons which did calculations regarding the tracking arc and where to set the 2 tangential zero error points. You are missing one of a few vit... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Henry,there is - IMHO ... ;-) ... - a direct correlation between low compliance and the amount of energy transferred into the tonearm. Certain bearing principles can handle that energy better - others fare less well. This is kind of a sensibl... |
