| Establishing a common analog listening bias Hi Axel,sibilance distortion is a very common phenomenon in a lot of set-ups AND on a lot of records. What we need, are records which can be tracked WITHOUT sibilance distortion, but only if aligned perfectly.Usually - if not recording-inherent - ... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? I'll see in detail that Thales at the table of an audiophile friend in northern Germany in August.From simply looking at the principle and technical problems incorporated (1st bearing being very close to the cartridge, more moveable parts than usu... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? The main reason for the extinction of long and super long tonearms our days is because there are a lot (expensive...) turntables out there which can not mount 13" and 14" tonearms at all.There are already more than a few which have difficulties ac... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear All, what Raul explained with his elaborating post is exactly what I meant. Very good Raul !It is about being able to describe certain sonic details as well as complete impressions on a common ground - a given (or several...) record with know... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Well - no problem, you are most welcome.I am still optimistic, that you will find out in due course.Just look a little more precisely, a bit closer, what is actually happening while playing a record. The model you are following is simply incomplet... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias As for Rock/Pop - most of my favorites are currently NOT available new. One strong vote for Johnny Cash American Recording Vol. 1 (I know - its rather Country/Western....) and another for Neil Diamond: Home before Dark. Both do have - while fairly... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Well Tubetan, you completely mistook the point. Its all about a "common language" - a "common ground".Its not at all about bugging the other with this or that detail in sonic reproduction which might be there or not.However - I am not on a mission... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Nice to watch from outside things getting settled so comfortable.Proving once again that all models and explanations are simply - you just have to narrow the horizon of survey and to exclude tiny details.I'd rather take economical advantage from a... | |
| the perfect tonearm Dear Nandric, I was associated with DAS OHR for a short while 25 years back.Götz Wilimzig was/is highly subjective in his reviews - Klaus never was and had a much wider knowledge regarding reproduced sound and its interrelations in an audio chain.... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Well - to get as plain as you: I think your model is incomplete.The resonance frequency of a given cartridge/tonearm combination can be altered by moving a fairly heavy cylinder further away or closer towards the pivot.The total mass of the moving... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Well - since it is a dynamic model (or should be...) I still see excatly this dynamic aspect missing.The down-swing and upswing of the pendulum (tonearm with cartridge at swinging end) is different in moment of inertia and force depending on the d... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear Perrew, you were/are right - I agree. I will continue with my suggestions and if we can establish at least a group of interested A'goners (guess you, Halcro, Siltskin, Axelwahl, Syntax and a few others including myself... and maybe several mo... | |
| the perfect tonearm The first - super detailed and spiced up with many technical aspects and calculations - test of the FR-64s in Germany was in the 1st edition of HIFi-Exlusive issue 9 september 1980.This was the one most comprehensive and extensive test ever perfor... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear Tubetan, Headsnappin, Nilthepill ...... it doesn't matter and we do not need anyone telling us the sound on any specific record is this, that and those.All this is to have the one single common piece in all systems - the record on the platter... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Well it comes down in several aspects to the static vs dynamic model....Aber es hat weder mit dem Hammer zu tun, noch damit, wo er hängt (im Zweifel immer an der Wand...). |
