| Shelter 501 mk2 v mk3 Tennis, maybe when possible the VE data are accurate. But in many cases not, based on my own direct knowledge. | |
| Shelter 501 mk2 v mk3 Beware of info on VE. It's often based on hearsay. In other words, the guys who put it there are about as informed as any of us is, in many cases. | |
| Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records? Problem with magnetic: the magnitude of the force changes linearly with distance between the magnet and its ferrous target, as the tonearm rotates in the horizontal plane. But The skating force is not linear in the way its magnitude varies. In tha... | |
| Shure Bulletin (written in 1954) Putting a penny or nickel on the headshell was considered a tweak in those days, indicating you were in the presence of a real audiophile. | |
| Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records? fsonic, Ordinarily, I would totally agree with you. You are very correct to ask for scientific evidence to support any of the claims made regarding audio as a hobby, especially vinyl. There are so many erroneous but commonly held beliefs that pers... | |
| Shelter 501 mk2 v mk3 Shelter has a significant presence in Tokyo audio salons, FWIW. Maybe they lack an importer or the importer lacks enthusiasm. | |
| Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records? Hasn’t Peter Ledermann testified to the uneven wear on styli he has inspected personally, due to radically incorrect AS? So there’s your evidence, presented by an expert witness. (I agree with you that there’s no such thing as a perfect amount of ... | |
| Shelter 501 mk2 v mk3 If output is different and internal resistance is the same, that implies there might be a difference in magnets used or the core construction Then there’s cantilever material and stylus shape; are those conserved between the two? A few years ago I... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Benji, thank you for answering my questions, and I don’t see where I was confused. The questions I asked were based on my understanding of your original post. Many people have claimed in the past that the act of the diamond stylus rubbing against ... | |
| What is your to earl’s Maximum Distortion %? Earl called. He said his views on tonearm alignment have been distorted. | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? As has been written elsewhere (by me), the effect of CW mass on total effective mass is equal to the mass of the CW multiplied by the (distance from the center of CW mass to the pivot)-squared. So you cannot just say that CW is 10% of total effect... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Benjie, you’re confusing us with actual data. I’ve been stewing on the question of whether or not to buy that Simco that you own and which I agree could settle all these questions. After nulling the charge in a hand held record, does charge reappe... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Jwall, my fallback position on the Acaia is that if it doesn’t work in my listening room, I can use it with our burr coffee grinder. | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? Actual science suggests that the static charge between the LP surface and the platter is unaffected by discharging the playing surface and quickly migrates to distribute over both sides, when you flip the LP to play side 2. This suggests you need ... | |
| Analog to Optical Converter? Your record player has a built in phono stage that does RIAA correction and amplifies the signal from the cartridge. Yes? |
