| Some thoughts on dust covers Not that I care much, but what do the last few posts have to do with dust covers? | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Agree it would have no bearing noise (except when the up facing point below the pivot scrapes against the circular rim of the constraint, whose purpose is explicitly stated by the manufacturer), but it sure does have “tracing error” if by that ter... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers The zerostat works, but what it does is to reduce static charge, not magnetism. Static charge develops on every LP when it is handled because vinyl is one of several materials that easily accumulates an excess of negative ions on its surface. The... | |
| Auris tonearm upgrade for Sota Moonbeam? 222mm+/-2mm is a pretty popular P2S distance for nominal 9-inch tonearms, so there are probably many that would fit with a little finagling. | |
| Assistance Needed to Identify an Older Koetsu The Rosewood was always thought to be a very warm sounding cartridge with not so great extreme low bass or upper treble. This is just to quote the typical critique of it back in the 80s and 90s, not based on personal experience. So perhaps it is... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Small point. I think the maker of the Viv Float tonearms is Koichiro Akimoto, or Akimoto-san, not Sakamoto-san. Sorry, Mr Akimoto. | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm drvinyl, You ought to turn in your doctorate in vinyl. First, the bearing of the Viv floats on a bath of magnetic oil, but it is constrained in its movement in all directions by a raised ridge that defines the perimeter of the circular oil bath co... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm That’s a bunch of promotional baloney. Of course it does have a pivot. This is not to say that the TG isn’t a good product. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers I don't know why I keep posting on this, because it is one of those questions where every one of us is already convinced of the efficacy and rightness of his or her current practice. We are all pretty much old farts and set in our ways. Suffice ... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Like Bill mentioned in his OP, of course there is such a thing as acoustic feedback that could in the worst case affect the cartridge, but the cure for that is to move the TT or the speakers so as to prevent the phenomenon. Furthermore, as I menti... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers To my reading of it, the OP is not asking a question; it makes a statement. To wit: "So the often offered extremes: a) Always play your records with the dust cover down, or b) put the dust cover away in it's box and never use it, should both be ... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Last I looked, you can buy a 14-inch Viv Float, if that floats your boat. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers I think you’ve made your position clear. “Exposing the record for the least amount of time is paramount “, for which you awarded RB one point, to zero for all other opinions. So what more do you want on this boring subject? | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Search archives for a long, contentious, and useless thread on this tonearm. No one compares it to the Kuzma. I have become an advocate or at least a defender of underhung tonearms, but the Nasotec headshell on the TG vexes me. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Elliot, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a square-shaped flat screen TV before now. Happy new year. |
