| Anyone find the Linn Lingo too fast? Kirkus, would this be the 50 or 60 year-old response? Just kidding. Thanks for the response. My only experience with a turntable motor was dropping it on an Ariston RD 11E(a loosening of the screws). This allowed the motor to literally pick up the... | |
| Anti-skate Due to my recent experiences with VTF, I've had to revise my thinking a bit. Now, this occurred when I was very close to the correct VTF and(I believe)the correct anti-skate for that VTF. My cartridge(nude Linn Arkiv)is also old, and it has not al... | |
| Anti-skate Ghost_rider, I didn't mean the rest of your system isn't pretty darn good; I just meant that your analog looks like it is just starting(based on your "System"). For some reason the following idea sticks in my head. I use a Mana Sound Table for my ... | |
| Anti-skate I guess I forgot about the heroin effect. | |
| Anti-skate I just started really reading some of the responses here. Wow! I think these guys are giving some incredible insights on anti-skate(including that rotating headshell). Audiofeil and Larryi said something that got me thinking(and since my brain's C... | |
| Anti-skate Ghost_rider, I would like to caution you about going to far afield here, else you get lost. You can if you like, but many of these people have(or have heard)very sophisticated systems. If you get too confused, I would suggest you go with manufactu... | |
| Anti-skate Sirspeedy, I find your story fascinating and very much on topic, as a linear arm has no anti-skate. Larryi, I forgot(or didn't think of) the stylus is being dragged inward like you described(Is it yelling and screaming the whole way?). I do think,... | |
| Anti-skate Dan_ed, I'm not sure you meant for your car analogy to be applied this way, but here goes. Try driving a car in smaller and smaller circles. Which way, outward or inward, does the car want to go? I was hoping here to simplify anti-skate so the beg... | |
| Anti-skate Ghost_rider, I looked up your Sumiko Black Pearl, and Sumiko's recommendation on that cartridge is to use the same amount of anti-skate as the tracking force(recommended tracking force is 2 grams, and the range is 1.5 to 2 grams). I assume your de... | |
| Anti-skate Larri, you have progessively smaller circles as you get closer to the end of the record. The speed is constant. You have a fixed pivot(bearings)far away. If you think about it, the force generated inward towards the spindle would be greater as you... | |
| Anti-skate Jaybo's comment about the last song being less dynamic as an audio trick is correct, I believe. Dan_ed, what a system you have! I would think that owning a Basis arm allows you to ask Conti(the ultimate Analog perfectionist) about anti-skate. Ghos... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I want to point out that if it weren't for digital, many advancements in audio would have taken much longer to arrive at, or may not have arrived at all. I'm thinking of power line distortion, power cords(?), line-stages of preamps, speakers, etc. | |
| Anti-skate Stringreen, I'm sure that you overlooked or took for granted that Ghost_rider knew that the main purpose of anti-skate is to counteract the inward pull on the arm that the record exerts as it gets to the inner grooves. If you look at the inner par... | |
| Anti-skate "less than optimum playback on that last song" was something that I remember from my last turntable setup, but isn't that true in theory also? Jsman, is your arm the one that uses the twisting of wires for anti-skate? | |
| Lehmann Black Cube owners. Thanks, Tvad. |
