| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Mapam, you are absolutely right. This is the one point that I simply don't understand.Why do so many audiophiles,- who talk in length about the sometimes subtle differences in cartridges or super expensive cables or preamplifiers - say that i... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Axel, its not a lengthly scientific discourse at all.Its very easy and fast to describe in 3-5 sentences.As for the bearing-in-horizontal-line-with-stylus-thing......When in horizontal line?By correct applied and groove-compliant VTA.......Or i... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear Syntax, not exactly the 3-5 records I asked for, but - as you know only too well...... - I would agree on almost all of them.I hope many more Audiogoners will join here - maybe we can really establish something of use for everyone of us.Cheer... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Axel,...... sorry, but you are not entirely correct here.Do not mix static balanced with dynamic balanced.Even with the spring VTF applied (no matter if 0.75 mN or 5 grams...) the tonearm is still dynamically balanced on this and any other plan... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Axel, Pär, - well Pär is on the right track.The counterweight do act in both modes to balance the tonearm.In the static mode it additionally determines the VTF.BUT - and this is the one big point - when the counterweight determines the VTF the ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Axel, I was only refering to the pictures to illustrate a point which is floating around in this thread since a long time. Something which is here - put on teh web by a source which is VERY different from me - shown for all to see that some l... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear All, again:- only CURRENT available NEW records.NO vintage first pressings - NO super limited edition high-price reissues (4-set 45 rpm etc).It is NOT going for the absolute best sonic version, but for a common base.We need an easy available ... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear all, a suggestion for a guidline/some ruling:***may everybody interest to do so suggest 3 records. All these records MUST be excellent recordings and all these records MUST be ready avaliable as re-issues or current pressing through retail st... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Axel, of course - you need the counterweight to balance the tonearm.Now we have the state of balanced.Dynamically balanced means ............. no, I think this belongs to someone else to clarify.My knowledge is too limited - we have other exp... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Axel, dear Pär, - as for the Schick-site and the FR-inside-photos shown there......Did you notice that there is hardly any grease around the VTF-spring? That isn't but 1/8 of should be there - and was there when new.In picture 3 counting from... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear all, to once again clarify the point: These "agreed upon records" are about to establish a common ground for sonic evaluation and correspondence only!!We need "records which everyone has access to for normal prices".I have over 900 first pres... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Ooops - Axel was fast.....But so far he did only roughly describe the set-up differences, so there is still "something" from the physical side to add.........Older tonearms did use a thick coating of extreme low viscosity grease to dampen any spri... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Nil, I am sure that Raul will be glad to explain the technical background in all detail.Especially the differences between dynamic behaviour and static.He is deep in the process of designing a pivot tonearm himself.Cheers, D. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Perrew, I do use an all tube design fully balanced differential phono stage with high gain. Its my design - not a market product.Syntax, Heradot, 7 other friends of mine and me we have had all very good experiences with the Lamm LP2 (stock an... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Axel, do you think you would have judged the proposal of a common ground based on a selction of records agreed upon in the very same way you did if it had come from anybody else but me ?This is of course just a hypothetical question to further ... |
