| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Henry, knife-edge bearing tonearms do not like cartridges which do transfer a lot of energy into the armwand. Thus SAEC tonearms - despite the fact that some do sport a pretty high moving mass - in general do fare better with cartridge featur... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Geoch, it is an important feature, but it is only one important feature among a good half dozen others. Knife-edge bearings do have a good bundle of problems too.Some of them are quite severe and do limit the performance of a knife-edge tonea... | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm what cart are you using? Hi Dev, if you like the Reed/My Sonic combo and want to go in the same direction, I would recommend pairing the 10.5 with the A90.If you want an alternative in sound, go for either the Olympos or the XV-1t.Enjoy,D. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Geoch, be careful not to fall into a "trap" here: Löfgren B IEC is NOT a priori better for those records cut close to the inner label! In fact Baerwald IEC does sport way lower distortions towards the inner groove compared with Löfgren B IEC.... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear all, the last post by Syntax with the two photos showing the different cutting area ( and those weren't yet the absolute extremes of either school - have a look at some of the DMM cuttings from the 1980ies !! ) shouldn't be overlooked, as the... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Geoch, I do not want to step on any toes here, but in general, a "cardanic" = gimbal bearing does in no way hinder a design approach to give a tonearm dynamic balanced mode.It is VERY difficult however to apply dynamic balanced mode to a uni-... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Bourse, ..but all roads lead to 5 way horns. :).. - IMHO neither a priori nor in ultimo ratio.Of course it is tempting to address each frequency band with an ideal (on first sight ...) suited driver, but it is always the "team" which produc... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear T_bone, dear Geoch, first - great to hear you are o.k. Travis. A dreadful and really very sad catastrophe. Showing us once again how dwarf we really are....T_bone is right - the WE-8000 is the only SAEC tonearm where the offset of the headshe... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Robob, I haven't worked with the SME 309 yet, but his headshell features single mounting holes and hardly any option to alter overhang and/or offset. As such it shares the very same "camp" with it's big brother the "V".The SME V does feature ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Timeltel - while I don't share D. Rumsfeld's political points of view, I nevertheless absolutely agree that his summary was indeed brilliant.IMHO everything - every minor sonic change and effect - in audio can be related to physical circu... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Thom_mackris, indeed, this is rather the fine print in tonearm alignment is may already be well beyond what a good portion of the analog department want to muse or think about.I just wanted an instrument which provides the best possible unive... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Pgtaylor, the SME V's alignment is indeed a very special problem. The Schroeder is different and offers the user a wider range of options. But back to the SME V, which was when introduced anticipated like no other tonearm ever before or ever ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Thom_mackris, you've hit the nail's head. Although it was Syntax' who deserves the credits for the phrase you quoted. I think we all too often lightly and needless give away quality of performance right here at the very start and without real... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Nandric, dear Mesael, everybody actually holding the UNI-Protractor in hand and see and feel it's build and parts quality will agree, that the price-value ratio is rather one of the very best in audio. The production costs are serious and thi... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear all, I dearly hope moderators allow me this lengthly post to clarify a few topics.Some spare moments so I would like to take the chance set some things straight.The UNI-Protractor is the off-spring of my own "need and want" to have an instrum... |
