TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
Dear @dogberry  : " Does it sound more dynamic without the damping trough? I can’t say I can tell the difference. " During LP play we can't avoid the jitter cartridge tracking " phenomenon " that's a kind of " mistracking " because suddenly the s... 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
Dear @mijostyn : Phonograph needle slow-motion microscopy (youtube.com) Even inside the ideal cartridge/tonearm resonance frequency how can help the cartridge stylus jitter? We can see several things, first of them is the way very hard task the...

@tomic601  : " I also am glad products like Safir exist "   Why are you glad when the cartridge overall suspension/cantilever looks a inertia moment of at least 70grs? what is your foundation reasons to be glad.   R.

Dear @lewm @mijostyn : Azimuth is always important as the other carrtridge set up parameters ( my tonearms comes with the AZ facility. ) but even in niormal LT tonearm and even that the stylus is in rigth position relative to a centered cantilever... 
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
Dear @lewm ​@mijostyn : Yes, several of us are talking of almost the same but the OP who posted:   " on the Helix, and the differences are dramatic, so I would imagine that for just about all tonearms..." that comment it’s not even anecdotic, ...

@drbond  : That's your usual response that it's not constructive  I already told you why in my opinion you are wrong in this specific tonearm subject.   However in your thread you don't post yet why the other gentlemans I named are wrong and whe... 
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
@drbond : " very few on this forum have actually compared tonearms, which rationally only leaves dealers, who, of course, are biased to one degree or another; but some biased information is better than no information at all. "   Four time that ... 
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
Dear @drbond  " That's all we need, but apparently almost no one (except probably dealers) does this to any degree to offer real insightful comparison of various tonearms.  " That is at least the third time you posted the same where obviously you...

Dear @chowkwan  : " sweeping generalizations like stay away from wooden or tangential arms. " Well I have a lot of fgirsthand experiences with " wooden ": I owned the Koetsu Rosewood, Rosewood Signature, Rosewood Signature Platinum, Goldbug Brier...

Dear @thr1961  : As you said a bnew audio item in our system changes the " picture ", we are prepared and expected that that can happens. You own a very nice system and the problem with the Safir it's not if you like it or not ( as we said we are... 
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
@mijostyn : " Those are huge benefits, not that you can ignore other aspects of tonearm design. " In the example measurements of the SAT tonearm its maximum tracking erro is a " huge " 1.42° but only at one surface place, normally the tracking e... 
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms
Dear @drbond : The issue is not really if the LT beats a pivoted one because that is only theory.   The @mijostyn " huge " differences are only in the " mind " does not exist in true. . This is only an example with the SAT 12" Löfgren B alignme...

Dear @fsonicsmith  : " That is my opinion and you are welcome to yours. " Thank's, to each his own.   R.

Dear @drbond  : " it is an expensive hobby ". Well it could be as expensive as is the knowledge level of us audiophiles. You made it expensive when choosed your TT with out took in count the additional arm boards price. As you move up in the lea...
