| Benefits of a record ring I think an outer ring pressing down the record more firmly with a larger portion of its surface to the platter has a lot of benefit.The possible drawback of too much additional load on the bearing - well, if a TT's bearing can't take the additiona... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Indeed there isn't much more to say about that software. Being one of those "anyone with the software", I can tell from personal experience that it has its faults and does not function for azimuth adjustment. A basic reflection error remains a bas... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth It reads "correct" and "each channel" and your cartridge (and - btw - me too...) do see some important difference between tracking a groove wall with most likely misaligned azimuth or being forced to generate output independent of stylus position ... | |
| Picture Thread Syntax - guess the attention won't focus on the two FR-tonearms alone..."Die Toten Hosen - Reich & Sexy 2"......One of the true gems of German Punk Rock with style and drive - on vinyl.Listen to their version of "Auld long shine".....Cheers,D. | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Dre, I am not discussing azimuth adjustment either. As there is nothing to discuss in a simple geometrical issue like this.And I clearly stated that the F. software does function in a way which gives a wrong result - at least regarding azimuth "ad... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Well Dre, the transfer function gives only correct result relative to the azimuth (= correct position of the stylus towards the grooved wall for both channels) if factor x (here: output voltage) is known and thus for each channel.Otherwise the cal... | |
| Cartridge Loading And we will run into some MI carts which will love 100k......... endless story. Wished we had a fraction of the standards we see in most other segments of technical life on earth. | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Well, if the arm post is not vertical........ I would suggest changing either armboard, tonearm or hobby. | |
| Cartridge Loading Whether a certain cartridge with a certain load in a certain audio chain under certain conditions does sound wonderful or not to certain ears does not tell too much.As cartridges too do suffer from the lack of real standardization of its electrica... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Essentialaudio - agreed. That is at least a suitable option - if kind of archaic with tonearms asking $5k to $11k in retail price..... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth As for the Freickert-software... it implies for correct function in azimuth-adjustment mode, that both coils of a given cartridge do have 100% identical output. If this is not the case - which you can count on in 99,99999 % of all cartridges - it ... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Placing a shim between collar of armbase and armboard will create problems - and won't solve any. Correct azimuth is a must and is determined by the position of the stylus in the groove and towards both walls. Thus a headshell level (spirit bubble... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Dear Halcro, you can not compensate azimuth offset with balance control. Azimuth offset means - always! - a misalignment of the stylus towards BOTH groove walls. This has to be fixed at the source. You can mask the sonic result to some degree (in ... | |
| The first-best-last analog item you ever bought Not the first - not the last, but the best single analog item I ever bought was the Fidelity Research FR-66s pivot tonearm. Heads and away the best tonearm - sonically and from stability and everyday handling - among 27 different tonearms I have o... | |
| SMEV set up problem....help needed Correct VTA setting is ALWAYS determined by the cutting angle of the record on the platter. Cutting angles used by record companies do vary. There is always a groove-compliant VTA - but NEVER a specific VTA for a given tonearm or cartridge.Do set ... |
