| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 The OP clearly stated and also shows in the video that he’s using a Yamaha GT2000L, a very fine vintagE DD TT with a coreless motor. So far as I can determine that platter is all aluminum. Which is why I asked about the platter mat, wondering whe... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dave, did you really intentionally direct that last post to me? So far as I know we are on the same side. And I fully agree with your sentiments about not being afraid to try new things. Until you joined the fray, I was the only one defending the ... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Sorry but you have to prove that balanced input makes a difference by reverting to XLRs and re- testing. Also, is the phono stage actually balanced or does it just offer XLR inputs? Also retest with vs without platter mat. Also, what platter mat? ... | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 If TT is turned off, does problem go away.? If so then I propose that the spinning platter has some iron content and this is inducing a very low frequency signal in the cartridge which is then amplified and affects the woofers. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dave, when you consider the fact that the Viv is supposed to be underhung by 17 mm, as you point out, I think one very inhibiting factor about buying the longer versions is that 99% of plinths will not accommodate such a long tonearm that in addit... | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? Evidently the OP finds us as boring as I do. | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? Who is the sayer who said a Commonwealth idler is the best? And who says the modified Garrard is as good? Moreover what $50K TT did you hear that floored you? Was it too an idler? What were other components in that same system? Take a deep breath. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Mijo, do you also have an audio signal generator, a distortion analyzer, a high end oscilloscope, test LPs for IM and HD produced by cartridges, and etc., and is every claim you make here substantiated by hard data using valid controls? If so, I a... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm "IOW if the measurements are done properly they don't lie." What is in dispute even among objectivists (and I don't like the word because it ignores that we are left to make subjective judgements even when we have objective data) is the definitio... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I would try Yodibashi Camera or Hifido, as vendors. Yodibashi is an amazing electronics department store, the likes of which do not exist in the USA. Problem might be that almost no salesperson speaks English. Hifido does have an export business a... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Neon, you might try buying a Viv tonearm by mail order from Tokyo. The exchange rate between the US dollar and the yen is at an all time high, meaning with one dollar you can now buy more than ¥140. Our son has lived in Tokyo since around 2008, an... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 Ignorance is treatable, dogma. Do some homework. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Duh… the Viv arm most certainly DOES generate a skating force, except for the instant when TAE = 0. Overhung tonearms generate a skating force even at the two null points (TAE= 0), because of headshell offset. Underhung tonearms are the antithesi... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I was driven to this hobby purely by my twin loves for music especially jazz and gadgets of any kind. My mother was an opera singer, so I was exposed to classical music and opera nearly from birth. I remember watching my father assemble a speaker ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Referring to yourself in the third person is a bad sign. Why didn’t you just announce your superiority from the get-go? Would have curtailed the needless debates. This site might then have been renamed “Clearthinker Forum”. |
