Distortion analyzer should say measured.  Probably smoke and eyewash.

Someone is not paying attention. Dynavector nulls were just posted and they are not Stevenson.  The inner null is close to it, but outer null is Loefgren B.  How does this change tangency and alignment error?http://www.vinylengine.com/tonearm_data...

As long as we're talking alignments, here's a post from Audio Circle:**Not sure if we talked about this on this forum - UNIDIN alignment is a legit alternate alignment. Nulls - 66.3, 112.5mmHere are more conventional nulls:Stevenson - 60.325, 1...

Raul,Sorry, I gave you credit for being a little smarter than that, but you've proven me wrong. I wasn't planning to return to this thread and now I'm teaching remedial geometry.**Dear fleib: Not really. Let that I try to explain all that. As you ...

Raul,You're fond of calling other people ignorant, questioning their sensibilities and powers of discernment, yet your ignorance is so great you're like a child who skipped school.  Look what you've done. Nearly a day has passed and the conversati...

Rauliruegas,What is wrong with you? Things get interesting and you're not the center of attention so you say something stupid and insulting?  Get some help my friend. You have a lot of friends around here and no one will hold it against you.Regards,

Raul,Remember on Halcro's 'DD living dangerously' thread, it was apparent you didn't know S/N spec limitations of a turntable?  Guess what?** """" When you adopt a different alignment you're also changing effective length and offset angle. """"Thi...

Griff,If 30cu is extremely high, what's the Sonus Blue/Gold or some ADC models @ 50cu, the ultimate high?  I thought that description pertained to something else altogether. (chuckle)I haven't done all of these measurements, but a 103 is about 12c...

Griff,Our posts crossed. There is no conversion between 10Hz cu and 100Hz.  100Hz cu is a measure of tracking ability at 100Hz, not compliance. We've converted some AT dynamic cu by measuring resonant frequency on known arms, and have a sliding co...

Better look out guys, this is getting interesting and you know what that means..... The FR7 isn't high cu either. A 981 @ 30cu is pretty high, work on the 801?  Maybe some med/high cu?Maybe there's something about steel, like a mass/ rigidity comb...

Griff,Thanks for the answer. It's quite interesting, glad I asked.  The 801 is the heaviest of the three, yet performs better with hi cu carts.  I would guess this is due to the magnetic/dynamic application of tracking force - dynamic VTF w/o mech...

Griff,Glad it's working out. Any thoughts on its relative quality, or too soon for that?  I know you like the Victor 7045.  What other arms, if any, do you favor?In the late '80s/early '90s my ex business partner had a Goldmund Reference.  I spent...

Ct0517,About the James Bond Maneuvers theme song, is it Kenny Rogers "The Gambler"?I have 6 tables and 7 arms in various states of modification and functionality. All the arms are conventionally wired and the cables are shielded, so there's nothin...

Ct0517,James Bond Maneuvers?  Is there a song to go with that?  Is the ET grounded?Q ) In this application what's the difference between a Faraday cage and a 100% shielded cable?A ) A Faraday cage is grounded.I don't think you're suggesting a pivo... 
Tonearm recommendation
Griff,There's a possible downside to any decision like that. I probably would have made the same decision as you. You now have the option to chance cables. The benefit of eliminating solder joints is overrated IMO.How's the arm working out? Regards,
