| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Mikelavigne, no problem at all - I just felt that I could clarify a point or two.This is indeed supposed to be fun, but too many audiophiles do take critic about components they own very personal and too often the components are the center of atte... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Mikelavigne, I certainly want to set one thing straight: I do have strong opinions about sonics, their differences and relations to components and synergy effects. And could express them.I just think that it is a waste of time to display them in p... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Hi Darkmoebius, I guess we would rather need graphs from spectrometers to show energy storage and resonance built-up in tonearm wands to illustrate the physical issues I was talking about.Water decay and frequency sweeps will do for cross-overs an... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Hi C1ferrari, I had 2 professional Studer C-37 tubed stereo reel-o-reel machines with about 120 early Westminster, RCA, Mercury and others 2-track 7.5 and 15 ips tapes back in the 1990ies. The rock solid sound of a good r-t-r machine run with a gr... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Dear Nilthepill, ++++++Another plus, IME, for linear arms ( that hasn't been talked about) is that they are able to track more readily than the pivot arms in case of playing a record with very low freq content (examples- techno music- Deepchord, P... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? C1ferrari, Darkmoebius et al, JCarr is very active on Audiogon too...... see threads about Lyra and Fidelity Research Cartridges. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Samujohn, the problem of the short vertical lever is independent of the bearing principle. Even a (purely theoretical of course...) very short pivot tonearm would face the very same problem. This has nothing to do with friction or bearing type.Pro... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dear Raul +++I learn that not all are/is already writed on high end Audio!+++I think it is - problem is that it was written before the world wide web became second life for most audiophiles. Tons of invaluable technical information about audio rel... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Now Downunder - THAT is the best post here so far ! | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Dgarretson you are right - a very short linear tonearm (like Souther or Versa Dynamics) can indeed feature very little horizontal effective mass.But much more important it features a very small (= short) lever.As said earlier - the very short line... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Mikelavigne, science can long explain why bumble bees fly ..... You are referring to days long gone by while using a phrase abused today. However - long term subjective observations are always subjective. Logic - isn't it ?The fact - which I do no... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Raul - the only logic answer to your original question in this thread is: NO. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Individual - yet subjective empirical... - audiophile impressions versus mechanical laws..... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Don't you think we should open up two new threads: one for the Talea (wonder anyway why this hasn't been done yet...) and one for the Thales.....? | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Hello Pgtaylor, the original idea of the team around Mr. Robertson-Aikman of SME turned against them.Indeed - as Atmasphere already pointed out - it is resonance inside the magnesium armpipe. While all done and designed in the best intention,the s... |
