| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @rauliruegas The issue of zeniyh is almost bs because we all know that if exist something imperfect in the whole anolog subject is exactly ANALOG and what surrounded it. How can you say the above and then go on about TAE of the rigid float ar... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @mijostyn Human ears make very poor measuring equipment and you do not know what you are missing. Ignorance is bliss. Sadly, our ears are all we got. To go against our ’lying ears’ in the name of science shows lack of conviction in the abilit... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @dover They claim that the pivoted headshell deals with needle chatter. I think this is exactly the point. I find the term "mistracking" quite vague and have yet to fine a "firm" definition of it. On the most basic level mistracking is any ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @dover the RS-A1 does indeed have a rotating headshell but what most people do not realize is that it is intended to have the pivot of the headshell directly above the stylus. Most people view this as a "horse and trailer design" with the pivot... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @bonzo75 To start with, if you use fine style to track at 4g, you will cause harm, but with conical styli the pressure is spread over a greater area. What Darius then explained to me, is that most conical styli are 0.6 mil tip or more, he keeps... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @goofyfoot To be clear, JR posted about the added vertical movement from a conical in a high frequency purely lateral groove. I added that in the case of a cartridge with minimal / no vertical compliance this can be a very bad combination. If ... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @goofyfoot maybe damage is not the proper term.... will you accept prematurely wear as an acceptable alternative? | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @goofyfoot playing a stereo record with a "no vertical compliance" mono cart does indeed tend to end badly. It is important to understand why this is the case. In a stereo record, the information common to both channels is cut in the lateral ... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @wallytools Hey JR... I agree 100%... there is no chance of a conical tracing a purely lateral cut groove without adding a vertical component to the movement. IF there is no vertical compliance something has got to give and it ain't going to b... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience @holmz But I’ll need to check the diagram to see if that built-in 1:4 SUT is loaded on the primary or secondary side There are two possible loads that this SUT could have. The unintentional which is the typical 47kΩ input of a MM phono and th... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience @atmasphere I would agree 100% with you if the only thing loading of a cartridge does is effect the LC resonance you laid out. I believe loading of a MC cartridge has a dramatic effect on the electromechanical behavior of the cartridge but that... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience @holmz I am only trying to find a way to load the cart for my 1:4 SUT. This seemingly simple statement is the basis for much of the confusion that exists around SUT's in general. People feel the need to lump similar things together hence the... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience @rauliruegas That gentleman that pass away was a tube lover Art made his system choices on what gave him the most musical enjoyment and had a large readership of similar minded people. If those choices do not align with your measurement-cent... | |
| Stereo cartrdge now playing mono!! this is kinda perplexing since I cannot think of a failure mode that would turn a stereo cartridge into a mono one. The fact that you reversed the phase of the right channel (swapping red and green) suggests to me that you were mischaracterizin... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @solypsa absolutely.... as long as the cartridge has vertical compliance I'll take an advanced profile every time. dave |
