| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Timetel, please read my earlier entries on this thread where I explain the formula for skating force. Skating force remains the same since it is based solely on the magnitude of friction and the offset angle of the tonearm. Same tonearm, same fric... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? 1. The difference in sound between 33 and 45 has nothing to do with the amount of energy being put into the stylus or the energy in the system. It has to do with less information density on the groove. There is greater length groove per second of ... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Misunderstanding: it was the blog about anti-skate that an above poster referenced which mentioned centripetal force, which makes the science credentials of the blogger suspect. | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Just read the antiskate blog. There is no centripetal force in any part of the system. The guy is taking the facts that the record rotates, that an arm is on the record, and falsely extrapolating the conclusion that there is centripetal force. Doe... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Plain wrong statement: "45 presenting the cartridge with the problem of tracking a groove which makes the stylus accelerate at a greater rate"This greater acceleration does not exist. And more energy is NOT being put into the system or the volume ... | |
| Krell or Bryston 4SST2 Krell is very iffy about even surviving. Large breakdown rate on items of past few years. Go Pass Labs. Better sound, thriving company. | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Spiritofmusic, you should be commended for being open minded about potential flaws of a new thing you are excited about. That's rare. I would hate to see you get too caught up in watching for what is not right though. It's a delicate balance.....l... | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following Because they don't have a bright tweeter, don't have grainy midrange, don't have "ear grating" types of distortion. Most high end speakers hurt the ears of many sensitive listeners who are bothered by rough/harsh/bright distortions. Most Harbeths ... | |
| What's the weak link in my Analog chain? The Souther is an extremely resonant tonearm. It is light on body and has artificial highs (ringing). Those who loved it would proclaim: "air.....transparency.....air........transparency......", and that's the ringing. It does not represent what i... | |
| Ex Air Studios monitors What are the cabinets? A known design?Tannoy is well known enough, sought enough, that what they are worth can be determined by bidding on ebay. Many folks don't like the fact that what something is worth is only what someone will pay. A guy has b... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Let's use logic: Decades of cutting with like-type cutters and like-type cartridges has built a large knowledge and experience base. The balance of recordings is based on original theory as well as experience of playing back on conventional cartri... | |
| VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III? Stevecham, I'll call your bluff. What part of the country are you in? If local you can come to my place for a listen, to see what R&D is, and to do measurements. Send me a PM. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Going to try to be bowing out from the forums now guys. I see that they are addictive to me! Wow, it takes a lot of time to try to be clear, and I have my real job, research and design to do. Try to remember, when you think you know it all start l... | |
