| Tonearm recommendation and we plod on..... Most manufactures do provide a protractor. Best reg. protractors are provided by arm manufacturers. What do you want, a Feikert? Add that to the cost of your arm and complain about that.Ct0517, I found other mfg. comments (Re.... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Don_c55, I tend to agree with your list of necessary features and I realize you said SOTA. I believe the OP referred to arms in the $6K and less range, and while all these features could possibly be incorporated in a $6K arm, sometimes the elimina... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, Not sure if you heard, Jico has discontinued the SAS stylus.Apparently they can no longer source the diamonds. The SAS was identical to the microridge and looks the same as an AT microline. Don't know if anyone noticed, but AT has been p... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul,**My first advise to any audiophile ( other that attend to listen live music. ) is to listen as many audio system you can listening ( if you can, sometimes we can't do it. ) to the same LP tracks that you know better that your " hands ".**Sti... | |
| Tonearm recommendation ct0517,**The Air Bearing affords isolation, and allows me to run a straight shot of unshielded wiring. The person that makes the loom - Take Five Audio, tells me NO pivot arm customers can use this loom for two reasons. 1) The erratic pivot arm, a... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul, Nice story, but it's a little hard to believe. You and your scientist friend are in a lab playing records and watching the stylus with an electron microscope? This was at normal speed and slow motion. You can't see a record groove with an ... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul,**Unipivots works during playing in continuous desequilibrium, its bearing damping is not to really damp the whole tonearm but, mainly, trying to put at minimum that unstability during playing and that’s all.** A unipivot maintains stability ... | |
| Tonearm recommendation The unipivot has some advantages which are undeniable. Those advantages are reflected in the number of top performing unipivot designs. One advantage is damping, a feature so highly touted in this thread. When SME came out with the model V, many... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul,What's wrong with you? Why did you post that digital crap in a thread about tonearms? Apparently science, reason and logic have no affect on your opinion, but you're off topic and way out of line.If you're having emotional problems, please ... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Atmasphere,**I suspected that was the case and so made sure that I clarified my position, which is that there are two forms of damping- one of which cannot be overdone as I had previously stated, and the other (which I never use) which most defini... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Yo Lewm,WTF ? Tonearm recommendations? | |
| Tonearm recommendation The simple definition of damping is to reduce oscillation. If we use a broader definition as in physics, it would be to reduce or dissipate vibration. I was making a distinction between different types of vibration control, but it does not matter... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Sorry Raul, You can't lump all types of vibrations into a pile and deal with them by damping. It doesn't work that way. Damping doe not kill vibrations, it mitigates the affects. In this case fluid damping an arm pivot can reduce the amplitude of... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Timeltel, Good idea to check stock with Stereneedles before ordering. Someone said they were out of all styli with beryllium cantilevers, over a year ago. They are slow to update their site and someone said they had trouble getting a refund. I ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? The AT155 has the same 490mH generator as the modern 440/120. I see the 440 replacement stylus went up another $50. For another $25 or so you can get a 150MLX stylus. This is a great combination with the 490mH motor, reminiscent of the 160ML. The... |
