| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm You’re probably correct. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Where did you get the Viv protractor? I wonder whether they’re all the same or different for different lengths. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm This is using the tonearm where the pivot bearings are offset to match headshell offset? Or if not, what tonearm? I'd be willing to lend you my RS Labs RS-A1, if you're interested. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Was thinking the same thing, not so much in terms of that phrase "cantilever haze" (with which I am not familiar), but of the fact that cartridges with a very short cantilever might be less subject to the phenomenon of horizontal scrubbing. For wh... | |
| George Wright What’s the symptom? | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dogberry, Thank you so much for finding and posting the thread from DIYAudio. It's a very valuable contribution to this thread. I also finally see why the RS Labs RS-A1 might actually benefit from its weirdly raised pivot (which aligns the arm wa... | |
| George Wright If you’ve got or can get a schematic, any competent tech can fix it. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? I guess the crux of your quote is this: "I only simulated it for the Paradise but it can be done more accurately in simulation than in real life as a perfect reverse RIAA generator can be used virtually which is built with +/- 0.00000% accurate pa... | |
| Clearaudio Clarify Help Needed! To the OP. Check that the arm wand is not touching the cueing device even when cue is disengaged. If the cue is not low enough, then VTF is not what you set it for, and arm flies to spindle. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Raul, Can you say how you do your measurement of RIAA accuracy? I asked this earlier as a general question and got no response. I am curious how it is done by manufacturers in order to arrive at a spec which is then published in their ad copy, bec... | |
| Need A High Compliance Cartridge There are dozens and dozens of high and low output cartridges that could be classed as "high compliance". This should not be a problem for an experienced audiophile like you, Neon. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Here's a question that arises when one considers the RIAA equalization error in a phono stage: What is the standard by which the error is calculated? Is it the curve described by the equations in the Lipshitz paper? Or is it the ideal curve, whic... | |
| Clearaudio Clarify Help Needed! The one set screw in the CW must be the correct one, since it’s the only one. Get an L shaped Allen wrench that fits and you can almost certainly loosen and tighten the screw without removing the tonearm from the TT. Use the short leg of the “L”; ... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? “Loading on the input side”. Does that mean using a resistor across the primaries of the SUT (which on its surface sounds like a bad idea) or what? Dave is a great outside the box thinker. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? I know what Steve G meant when he referred to the Parasound as a reference. My point was that the Parasound is not a top level high gain phono stage, in my opinion of course. Therefore it does not set a very high bar for a SUT + MM stage to exceed. |
