| TW-Acustic Arm Audiofeil, agreed. Leopards won't change there spots - no matter how long you expose them to bright sun-light. We have no ugly duck to white majestic swan metamorphosis in high-end cartridges.Then there are even a few cartridges out there ( mostly... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Hi Downunder,it sure was obvious - wasn't it?How could I missed that one - it was handed on a plate.But seriously - I am quite happy that finally he and me came to some terms and share at least a small common ground and point of view.The Munich HE... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Dgad, you said "But... there have been quite a few products promoted here that have been "the flavor of the month" type."For once in a while we totally agree. | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Lewm, honestly, I believe that the lateral balance was kind of "forgotten" in most of today's designs. Or "disposed"/"omitted" for "lack of importance" and "increase of complexity and cost". It is a smart and elegant option to eliminate a design i... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Ddriveman, the FR-60-series manual has a lot of mistakes. There are geometrical mistakes as well - not just this hilarious advise with the lifting of the turntable.If there is a skating force due to offset from pivot/stylus line, then this will sh... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Lewm, of course, but that is not the problem - as long as I have the option to nullify this off-set by setting a lateral balance.Whereas on a many of todays "straight" pivot tonearms with "small mass displacement" at the cartridge mounting headshe... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Ddriveman, I can not see any negative point in adjusting zero full balance while the TT is dead level. If one tries to adjust any static or dynamic balanced mode for a tonearm on any given TT, I would always recommend to do this with all other par... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Lewm, Ddriveman, while I too have bought some items from Tommy of TCA, this advise lifting the turntable is not a great one.The cueing cylinder of the FR-tonearms can be height-adjusted in a few seconds.The FR-60-series manual - BTW - contains som... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Dear Lewm, correct applied lateral balance means the tonearm will stand "still" at any point of the arc over the record. This of course in the state of zero balance (= O VTF and O antiskating) only millimeters above the record surface and horizont... | |
| Balanced SUT, what's available? Do check with the websites of Lundahl and K+K Audio, Sowther, Jensen or Tamura. You'll find lots of schematics for various SUTs and will see that most all of them are balanced by nature and fairly easy to change from RCA to XLR. Do browse some of ... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Mepearson wanted to test the FR-64s against the ET2 with as many parameters stable as possible. Thus his test was a valid one. Furthermore - in the most complete test the FR-64s ever got by any audio magazine (09/1980 German HiFi-Exklusiv), the FR... | |
| Balanced SUT, what's available? Suteetat, in fact almost all SUT - no matter what manufacturer - are balanced by nature and design. Its just that most are mounted and sold with cabinets featuring unbalanced RCA input/output jacks to accommodate wider usage and customer demand. Y... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Logenn, Hiho, Ken Sugano always favored the Fidelity Research FR-64/66s tonearms for his own cartridges when asked back in the early 1980ies. The FR-64s is rather a 10" pivot tonearm. This is just for the books. | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm More invaluable technical insight - and input - from Audiofool. | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm Now that are all great news for analog music lovers and I think TW should soon raise - following universal approved and agreed upon market rules - the retail price of the TW 10.5 considerably to illustrate and kind of fortify the sonic superiority... |
