| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Rockitman, dear Lewm, in the early 2000s the Denon DL-103R was introduced.I bought over a span of about 18 months a total of 46 samples.Denon - as always - does include it's nice plotted frequency response with the output of both channels in ... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Lewm, maybe I wasn't not clear on that one: with oscillating pad I was referring to an oscillating pad indeed - i.e. those pads do oscillate with frequencies between 400 and 2.5kHz. During oscillation that frequency is transmitted into the co... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar The Cat is legendary for slaughter in the most un-halal way .... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Rockitman, your procedure is correct the way you described it. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? I need neither hype nor (pre-)laurels.As I am not looking for a share of the market I have no need for either.I've designed this tonearm for myself - and a few friends.Whether others will like it or not is utterly unimportant.In fact - I would be ... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Rockitman, I meant an oscillating pad - like the Nagaoka stylus cleaner or similar.Then you need a µV meter.An Oscilloscope isn't necessary, but nice to have anyway.Yes, - you are measuring the output of each coil in µV/mV. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Kdl, I am not "defending the undefendable", but trying (apparently futile with some ..but no problem with that either ) to show, that azimuth adjustment is a bit more tricky and demanding than most think.And it often leads in the wrong direction.G... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Lewm, I know it is crosstalk - nevertheless, give my proposition a thought and muse about what is the motivation in most set-ups to start "adjusting" azimuth ?In other words - I for one haven't seen a mispositioned (i.e. anything else than de... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Rockitman, all you need is an oscillating pad and a µV meter - that's it. The technical straight way to determine coil output independent from stylus position/mounting position.This way you get the raw coil response - totally independent of any po... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Lewm, you are right. No one - including me ..;-) ... - can judge by eyeside whether a given stylus' polished contact areas are correctly aligned on the cantilever.This was a great issue in the1980s with most all "audiophile" cartridges of the... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Dear Hiho, I will give the Spiral Groove a good look.On the other hand I will join the ever growing group of tonearm designers very soon.Thus I will not comment on any other tonearm design - especially not current/new models introduced only recent... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Well, Audiogon isn't the only web-platform for used audio components ..... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Dear Mgerhardt, Syntax has had the Phantom II in all 3 length - 9", 10" and 12". Guess there are very few out there with as wide experience regarding the Phantom. | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Dear Amater, wonder if that review really did the Kuzma any good ..... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dear Kipdent, on the price level we are usually talking about in high-end audio NO customer should accept a cartridge with anything less than a perfect 90° orientated stylus.On this premise azimuth adjustment in the tonearm is indeed obsolete.If a... |
