| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear friends : All those changes that I posted and that I did it throufgh the years, including the silicon cartridge damping, not only gave me a better quality level systemperformance but in each case the room/system noise floor gone down too. Now... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @kps25sc : " A little experimentation will be interesting. "Absolutely and a must to do it.Btw, @bdp24 , have you any idea of the viscosity in the silicon that you are using in the Townshend?R. | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @kps25sc : Thank's for the link. What is the Townshend advise about?Mainly I use the silicon paddle to damp the cartridge tracking and found out that 100K cst is not " enough " so I gone to 300K cst and works fine with out " any " obstruction... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @antinn : Yes, to many variables to be really precise but in any case damping is welcomed.I tested silicon oil in diferent viscosity grades from 10K to 1,000K cst and I can tell you that only the 1,000K cst is really an obstacle for cartridg... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. Sorry.R. | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear friends: As I said before the silicon paddle mainly is to damps the cartridge ridding more than the tonearm it self. The " tape " is for the tonearm and inderectly benefits the cartridge transducer and its ridding through the groove modulatio... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @atmasphere : the dronepuck advise or even that 3m electrical tape or any other ligth tape makes almost nothing for the tonearm EM goes higher enough to be a problem.Yes, the ideal arm wand should be very well damped but that is the ideal/perfect... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @atmasphere : In reality the resonance frequency between cartridge/tonearm is not affected because the tonearm EM change is really low because the kind of damping that we are talking about contributes all over the arm wand and not at the hea... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @snackeyp : " I know that tonearm resonation is partially caused by the vibrations from the record groove.... but believe that a lot of these vibrations come through the plinth on tables that are not well isolated from room vibrations. "Re... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @antinn : Good, unfortunatelly the original Sota Mat disapeared.As a fact tghe Platter mat is way more important/crucial that what we could think due that is the " talking medium " between the LP surface and the stylus tip. a GOOD MAT WILL L... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @atmasphere : Good that we agree about. Now: are you talking of th eamps resistor or the phonolinepreamp resistor loading?R. | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @dronepunk : Thank's, great contribution that cerntainly helps to all of us.R. | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @antinn : Other unexisted " lifeless " I experienced was when I changed the attenuators in my dual mono Essential 3180 phonolinepreamp that original came with Elma discrete true hole resistors in a perfectly matched then I changed by same El... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @bdp24 : I found out the Cransfield patent on the tonearm/TT design that was licensed to M.Townshend. I don't read it yet.Btw, when Max started to sale it the owners read it as manufacturer name: Cransfield and not Townshend.R. | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @bukanona @stringreen FRIENDS: " As I do have this Jelco 750EB with "top cup" - I can say that if not damped it's rather inferior with high compliance cartridges (no silicon oil in cup) With heavyweights/low compliance like SPU difference ... |
