| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Mijostyn, There you go again! Velocity is NOT a factor in determining the friction force. Friction force is very simply equal to the net force vertical to the contact surfaces of two objects (VTF in this case) times the coefficient of friction, wh... | |
| Changing Turntable to Balanced Output No re-wiring of the tonearm is required. But you’d have to re-terminate the phono cables with XLRs, learn how to do that, and then buy a true balanced phono stage, to realize any benefits. | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Use an amount that does not give you distortion in the R channel (too little) or in the L channel (too much) and does not result in a deviated cantilever after several hours of play. And then, forgeddaboudit. | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Luisma, Depends upon how the AS device on your particular tonearm is graduated. I have often wondered about this. For vintage Japanese tonearms and some modern ones that have magnetic antiskate devices, we typically see the dial marked in whole n... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! That equation is bogus IF it defines “headshell angle”= headshell offset angle. In which case the skating force would be a constant which we know it is not. However, if headshell angle is defined as (tracking angle error + headshell offset angle),... | |
| Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY). But I thought you were only interested in the tonearm that comes with the TT. You plan to sell the TT after purchasing the ensemble. So the next guy can worry about the lack of a DC, or not. | |
| Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY). Dust cover? You don’t need no stinkin dust cover. Two tonearms with VTA “on the fly”. (I hate that term.) Three actually but I want to keep my spare DV505. | |
| Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY). I bet you could sell the TT alone for nearly $500 and have the tonearm nearly for free. So it's something to do, if YOU want the tonearm. Otherwise, there is some risk and bother for possibly no gain. | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! My remaining question about Mijostyn's method is whether the typical Chinese-made digital VTF gauge is accurate when used in the vertical, rather than the horizontal orientation. I am trying to figure out how one would test for that. Or maybe Mi... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Luisma, What is the method with the HFN test LP? | |
| Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY). This is not a question of great pith and moment for very many of us. Just do it. | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Dover, no pun intended, I’m using two small nuts that each weigh ~1g, tucked as close to the crotch of the TP AS mechanism as possible, for the MMC1. The OEM AS weight weighs 5g.Thanks for the clear explanation of what Mijo probably does. I’ll giv... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Mijo, If I had a 10-inch bar, I would consider making porn movies. But I don’t want to store my meat in a vacuum. We had excellent take-out Chinese food last night at the home of a close friend. Tomic, Thank you for the compliment re the Beveridg... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! I was re-reading this thread, just because I have recently been wrestling with setting AS for a very low VTF, recommended 1.0g, for my B&O MMC1. Mounted on my Triplanar. To Mijostyn: I would like to measure AS by your method, but just from rea... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Nah! But MC, your avatar Einstein said something to the effect that one should first choose the simplest hypothesis to explain an observation, but not one that is “too simple”. We both agree that there is a skating force and that we need a little ... |
