Where to get an arm board?
I agree with Stanwal. There are shops who produce acrylic name boards,etc. I got this way the armbase for my Audiomeca J1 exactly made as the original ( wich was impossible to find). My was laser cut from a acrylic slab.Regards, 
AKG P8e cartridge coils are known to go bad ?
Storyboy, According to some German info on the net the AKG used a small steel plate for the centering of the cantilever(one point suspension) with rubber 'rings' on both sides.The problem seems to be the deterioration of the rubber. AKG destroyed ... 
AKG P8e cartridge coils are known to go bad ?
Hi Storyboy, To my knowledge the problem is the suspensionmainly because AKG invented and used some special kind of suspension. If we need to add 'coil problems' then Raulshould be warned regarding his recommendations of this cart.Regards, 
Anyone here knows the Reed 3Q tonearm?
Hi Curio, I provided the new web site for the Reed so youshould first look for the data regarding the eff. mass ofthe different wood kinds. I ordered the Reed 2A, 12" with Pernambucco wood tube (27 gr.) a year of so ago. But I intended to use this... 
Anyone here knows the Reed 3Q tonearm?
Hi Curio, The longer the tonearm the smaller the tracking error. But the longer the arm the higher the eff. mass.If your wood choice for the Reed Q is Cedar then the compliance of your Benz LP should make a good combo withyour Reed Q. BTW it is no... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Pryso, This was exactly the design philosophy of Joachim Gerhard from (the former) Audio Physics.From Virgo II till Medea II all of his speakers were tuned to +/-40 Hz. For those that wanted subs he designed those as separat units.The 'belief' of ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, It is very difficult to attribute to other persons some 'qualitys' that differenciate them from the others. So I will state this only in relation to me. I am in this hobby for 40 years so, obviously, there is no lackof experience. But m... 
Sme arm "Bridge Removal"
I thought about the 'shoe box' argument by convertible carswich causes the lesser rigidity of those cars. Per analogythe bridge my have some influence on the arm rigidity. However I have no idea about the 'forces' involved.Regards, 
Anyone here knows the Reed 3Q tonearm?
George, I agree with Curio and add my copmliments to his.The strange thing however is that I started a similar thread some time ago about Pluto tonearms (see my threads).Alas not a single reaction from the forum and only one fromDertonarm in a pri... 
Headhsell leads on SME V
Ssayeed, That your problem is solved is nice to hear. ButI don't understand how 'the insulation was touching theterminal on one of the leads' could cause the problem . My assumption is that SME V has no exchangable headshell sothe wire or leads ar... 
Anyone here knows the Reed 3Q tonearm?
Geoch, I am familiar with the Reed 2A in the actual senceand with the Pluto in the virtual kind of sence. The Pluto is produced in the Netherlands by Edy Drissen our second 'grand master' next to Van den Hul. I think that thecomplexity of Pluto is... 
Headhsell leads on SME V
Ssyeed, You obviously changed cart. clips and not the wire or leads. If the clips are soldered in a 'neat' way then there should be no problem. Otherwise you should use thesame clips on all leads but the 'neat' soldering is stillinvolved as precon... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Dear Dertonarm, If you assume that some qualitys areessential (say the ratio by humans) and the other are accidental you can not say that being biped is not accidental. This was the point made by Quine. So probable you should admit that being bipe... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Concepts and relations, I think that we mostly think as weare teached to do. In some sence we think as we speak. Weare programmed with our native lanquage and progrmamed withour education. Is a student capable to question his teachers? Think about...
