| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @bukanona : No, I’m not loosing " some " signal but thank’s to the rigth damping levels is the other way around: I have a lot of more MUSIC information in the cartridge signal with a lot less distortions. Tha’s all, it’s not that I’m in love ... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @bukanona : That says you never owned the MAX tonearm so you not even can dream or know what you are talking about.Useless to all of us to follow " talking " with you on that specific regards because you have not first hand experiences. Go figure ... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @bukanona : Just forgeret the others posted questions are not critical. This was the main and subject question posted: Do you own or owned the MAX tonearm?R. | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @bukanona : I can twell you that with or with out the spring the FR64/66 are a " natural enemy " of any cartridge.I have several advantages over other gentlemans/audiophiles down here because I own/owned/listened through my room systems over ... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear @antinn and friends : Thanks for your asking help to link that article and for the other one too.Both articles along the other ones linked in this thread confirms with facts not only what some gentlemans posted here including the M.Townshend ... | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment Dear @rushfan71 : Yes, you need to align the cantilever not the cartridge body. I won the Kleos and it's a really good quality performer but not only Lyra but almost any other cartridge is not " perfect ", it's way dificult to find out a cartridge... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Nandric: great contribution what you posted that helps a lot to all audiophiles and music lovers. Good ! ! Please follows in that way, it's what Agon needs. Congratulations.R. | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Dear friends: At the end the damping issue is to improve what we are listening and one way or the other in the analog alternative a must to have specially at TT mat/clamp, tonearm and cartridge.Any tonearm including the SAT will improve its qualit... | |
| 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... |
