| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? See - in most every high-end device there are 2 or 3 custom-built/designed and extremely expensive parts that are built by a division of the NASA or at least by a very special secret JAN-company which usually would never manufacture them due to co... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Dear Pryso - as a more direct answer to your question 02-22-10 directed to me - the "stress" on the cantilever mounted in a pivot tonearm (if we leave skating-force aside for a moment and address the force vector only, which promotes the movement ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? In general ( terrible term in itself.... ) the horizontal moving mass of all tangential ( linear ) tonearms is much higher than with any pivot tonearm.The armpipe of the linear tonearm first needs to be deviated from the zero error line to move. t... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Darkmoebius, agreed. BTW - most smaller rooms have much less problems with standing waves in the critical area. One of my friends has a top tier system in a rather small room (15' x 16 x 8 ). His woofers are DSP controlled and this system features... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Sure, about everyone of us here do envy Mike Lavigne for that room.However - in an imperfect world (read: the one we all are living in...) we can still strive for perfection in audio reproduction even if we will never approach it.Not sitting in an... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Mark, I would just give the Triplanar, DaVinci, new Ortofon as well as the Phantom II a good listen. These are current production and while not featuring the tightest and most rigid bearings in tonearm history, all four are capable to outperform e... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? I have owned Air Tangent 2B, 10B and Reference, ET 2.5 mod. and Goldmund T3F. Furthermore i have intimate experinece with the Kuzma Airline, Forsell and the Versa Dynamics.While I would never dare to dispute their theoretical advantage of zero tra... | |
| Have anyone replace VPI SSM belt with string? I am running a VPI SSM w/HRX & SDS with special bavarian linen thread. Works nice. Good grip, small knot (made the way Micro Seiki suggested), very quiet, very dynamic and stable sound. Much more presence and low level dynamics as compared to ... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Dear Thuchan, sorry to burst the bubble, but those plain and maybe quite uncomfortable sandals you are referring to, did conquer europe while covering the feet of the roman legions.They did it without air cushioned heels and they did it the hard w... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Dear Nandric, while I certainly enjoy your post and hold your attitude towards high end in high esteem, I think very few would like to follow us in the direction this discussion is now going.While the original purpose of either "party" for the ult... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Hello Asa, of course there is a steep difference between a "writer" and an "author". If you are only familiar with the first one - that's fine.Regarding the mind, it levels and materialistic "worldview" I strongly recommend reading two german auth... | |
| VTF and VTA- Constant or not? Dan, yes - horizontal level and from that point up to 14 mm down. With a 10" tonearm. Its slightly less with a 9" and a bit more (which isn'T possible with all cartridges/12" tonearms, since under certain conditions (small cartridge body, little h... | |
| VTF and VTA- Constant or not? Back in the late 1980ies and early 1990ies the collectors of vintage original vinyl (most notably the RCA LSC, Mercury SR, DECCA SXL and HMV ASD and SAX series) from a loose "circle" (most of them US-based). These gentlemen (and one lady...) did f... | |
| VTF and VTA- Constant or not? Dougdeacon already covered the set-up details extensively, but let me add that the correct VTF in a given cartridge defines the correct position of the cantilever (= the coils in the magnetic field) towards the magnet(s) and that the correct SRA/V... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Dear Adog (cave canem ??),auctoritas audiophil, non veritas facit legem.....or in more simple words from the bible: - cuius enim panem manduco, carmina canto....in ultima ratio. |
