| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? in 1966, while in High School, i puchased a Wollensack 3M stereo reel to reel tape deck. i've been in the hobby on and off since then. really hard core, full tilt boogie audiophile since 94'. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? The rest of the system would be good value for money today, but who would swap their current turntable for a TD 124?actually; the basic guts of a 40+ year old Thorens or Garrard idler, or a 30-40 year old direct drive EMT, Technics, Sony or Pionee... | |

| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF Norm,i don't presume to be at Steve's level in cartridge set-up proceedure. i had my 120 hour A90 on that same Triplaner arm that Steve used on his 40 hour A90. we had had it set at 2.21 grams in my system on the Garrard. we had tried VTF's down t... | |

| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF Norm,my quest is only what sounds most real....in all seriousness. i don't have any pre-concieved notion on VTF. it either sounds best or it does not. i do think that only over time and open-minded listening and experimentation can the most ideal ... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF both A90's, one on the Rockport with VTF at 2.06 grams with 65 hours on it, and the other one on the Garrard/Reed 2P with VTF at 1.56 grams with 120 hours on it, are still sounding stellar 10 days later.Steve Dobbins took the 3rd A90 (which had be... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Dertonarm,i tried my best to not make my post personal in any way....as all your posts have been made with respect and class. i don't mean to cause you to defend or explain yourself.i just felt that when you posted that comment that it needed to b... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Otherwise you will find very few sonic statements in any of my postsa profound thought for sure....which caused me pause.after i read the above comment i sat for awhile and pondered exactly why it bothered me so much. i have yet to answer that que... | |

| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? audiophile impressions versus mechanical lawslong term observations on cartridge durability on a linear tracker is not 'placebo' or 'audiophile impressions'.

| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Has anyone compared recent linear and pivot tonearms on a 2-arm TT at the same time w/ the same cartridge for an A/B comparison? What did you notice?yep.currently i have 2 Ortofon A90 cartridges; one on my Garrard 301/Triplaner and one on my Rockp... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Is there even a way to measure this lateral force/stress on the cantilever/motor assembly?it would seem to be simple to place some sort of sensor between the linear arm housing (or the cartridge body) and press against it. the smallest force requi... |
