| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool @rauliruegas Well spindle to pivot is correct as the spindle is always at the same regardless of the table because the spindle is always at the center of the platter. So the size of the matter does not matter, whether it’s 10 inches, 12 inches, or... | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool @rauliruegas Spindle to pivot is the same regardless of the table. I am at correct spindle to pivot so the protractor arc will be accurate. | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool @chayro For those cases I use my camera and snap a picture. It’s easier to get low and obtain an image you can then adjust from. With my Kiseki Blackheart 1st gen this is the only way I can accomplish this. I have a Proteus also that I do this wit... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @tomic601 The hole is pretty minimal, drilled for a Schroeder. The board is about 3/4 inch thick acrylic, pretty inert. The Dynavector I have is a pretty good specimen but it is a 501 MK 1 so no cue device. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos I do like the Triplanar arm. For an arm that has so much adjustability I don’t see how to adjust the cue lever bar. This one wants to drift a bit on set down and pick up. From searches on the net this seems to be an issue others have had. With the... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @lewm The arm effective mass is 11 grams, which is higher than I feel comfortable running the cartridge at. I never could find a vertical effective mass for the vestigial arm on the Dynavector, but I always ran the lightest head shells I could fin... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Well back to our regular programming. Since I have a spare arm board for the SOTA and the Scheu I figured I would trial a temporary installation. I started laying out the SOTA option, and even at the eyeballing stage it can be seen that the rear s... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @mijostyn I have a Schroder CB-1L with ebony wand on my Scheu table. I love the performance of the arm, and despise it's adjustment settings. It is criminal how primitive the counterweight setting, VTA, and antiskate adjustments are. I loathe inst... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos That is a very good question Jim. I have just a handful of cartridges I can work with. The second arm on the Scheu is a Schroder CB-1L in ebony and I will use either a Transfiguration Audio Proteus or an Ortofon Verismo. Both cartridges sound nice... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos If I have to trim the upper level of the plinth the arm will go on the Scheu. That's fine too really. | |
| Accuphase AC-3 Re-tip new cantilever vs new purchase? I have owned an AC1 and AC3. Nice enough cartridges. However I would spend that same money with Mehran at SORASound and get the designers most current cartridges rather than one that is 30 plus years old. | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest This weekend I located a set of the Chinese style mag lev footers, and placed them under the pre-amp. The Trinov has a sophisticated DSP program, and one function it has is a very precise EQ option. I decided to experiment with it. I did in depth ... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @ghdprentice Yes I did. Varied them down to 3 and 4 springs per puck. Used varied placement of 3 pick arrangements due to the uneven weight of the component. Not quite the solution I needed. | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest Well this is a unexpected development. After about three days the foam compresses down enough that the system gets bright again. As an experiment I cut two new pieces this evening and put them in place. Immediately the sound I am looking for ... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @falconquest I mentioned that I used some Wagner pads in the opening post. That is what they are. Not compliant enough and does not isolate. |
