The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
Thanks for your response Thom which is in line with Dover’s advice.I will certainly address this suggestion in detail tomorrow.Right now....Federer and Djokovic start their Semi-Final in the Aust Open.....Thanks for the kind words Professor....I a... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
Before I address the interesting comments and Links posted by Dover and The Professor (Timeltel)......I need to ask a serious question that has been bothering me 🤔Why is it so important for a few Posters to continually, repetitively and monotonous... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Yeah...nice finish Chak 😃It may be hard to obtain on the existing veneer....?Maybe a car body and paint-shop?Another reason I was not comfortable using the CU-180 Copper mat was I feared it may compromise the workings of the Bi-Directional speed c... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
You can use the CU-180 but I don't know if there's enough adjustment available for such a weight...?If that doesn't bother you...go for it.I was more concerned with the weight on the bearing 🥴No pulsation coming from the electronics on either the ... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Great news Chak...🎉There is a regulation described in the manual for altering the STOP function to match your platter mat +LP.I had my Tech do it for my lightweight Victor Pigskin mat which is far lighter than the standard Victor rubber mat with w... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
This is what a Cartridge's Frequency Response Plot looks like (for those like Atmasphere who do not know).So let's cut to the Chase.....What can we deduce from Atmasphere's contributions to this Thread?A cartridge's Frequency response is unaltered... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
Ahhh...how things change yet remain the same 🤣Here's just a sample of the multitude of exchanges between the new 'best' friends on another Thread....01-15-2020 3:11amDear atmasphere : You already had all the time and opportunities to show the evid... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
And now that you've re-entered the 'fray' Atmasphere......Being an amplifier designer and manufacturer.....you would have all the electronic gear available to show us exactly how a cartridge's Frequency Response Plot changes with Arm/Cartridge Res... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
Thank you Atmasphere for posting that Link to a paper presented 43 years ago.I presume you infer that nothing has changed in the intervening period?As I do with most Reports and Papers......I go firstly to the Conclusions 🙃In this paper we have po... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
Oh....ok.As long as you say so..... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
So now we have most scientists/physicists and importantly.....Ortofon agreeing with my fundamental opening statementThis Resonant Frequency has ZERO affect on the sound quality of a particular tonearm/cartridge combination So what exactly is the p... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
I always hesitate in responding to any Post by Raul as it invariably encourages him to continue what he imagines, is an actual dialogue.This almost always results in bitter and defamatory statements until he has the last word.So I will not respond... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
Despite the lack of scientific evidence available for those making the same claims as Mijostyn.....it rarely prevents them continuing with exactly the same claims.Their usual segue is to  postulate that many things in audio cannot be proven by sci... 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
If you get between 8 and 12 Hz you are done. Put the record away until you change cartridges.@mijostyn, so you are saying there is NO difference to the 'sound' within this 8-12Hz Band....?A 50% change is the Resonant Frequency has zero affect on t... 
'Diamond' cantilevers: a man's best friend?
I have seen no evidence @howardalex that the Koetsu diamond styli/cantilevers are hewn from a single piece of diamond.This is despite searching the Web for photos and even Koetsu's own official site.As this 'fact' and photos displaying it, would b...
