Tonearm recommendation Dear kirkus: I agree on the STAX build quality level. I never like me the cartridge quality level performance using the manufacturer alignment specs and if I remember I used Baerwald with better results.Something in your post that hold my attentio... | |
Tonearm recommendation dover: """ do you have right now on hand the 505?If yes just try Baerwald or Löfgren alignment changing the P2S distance from Stevenson. Then listen and listen in between ( B, L and S alignments. ) and return here to share your experiences ther... | |
Tonearm recommendation Dear analogluvr: """ there is no lack of low frequency information. """I would like ask: compared against which other tonearms and with which cartridges and in which audio systems? did you compare it against the same digital tracks in a digital p... | |
Tonearm recommendation Dear lewm: """ with the arm mounted according to factory instruction """What I'm saying to you and dover is to use Baerwald/Löfgren alignment according the " numbers " calculated in those alignments: offset angle, overhang and P2S, what must s... | |
Tonearm recommendation Dear chakster: I don’t like unipivots ( even that I own some of them. ) and the 401 has no universal removable headshell but Denon had other good tonearm as the 307/309 that I owned and are good options too.I think that a very good option for your... | |
Tonearm recommendation Dear lewm: I'm only want to clarify mi overall position on your last email:I can´t see nothing really wrong on Baerwald or Löfgren that could preclude I don't use it. The one that I'm not advocated is Stevenson alignment.If I choose B or L the mai... | |

Tonearm recommendation Dear lewm: What I try to say is to use one: Baerwald or if we like Löfgren A/B. I don't think we can need more.Today almost all the cartridges comes with a better suspension " mechanism " than in the past and the tonearms are more or less well dam... | |
Tonearm recommendation Dear friends: I hope this could be my last post in this controversial and misunderstanding critical/vital tonearm/cartridge set up." Yes, the Loefgren calculations are correct. They are the basis of all the others. ", with the fleib " approval "... | |
Tonearm recommendation fleib: Finally! a more direct answer from you, good. I have no time now to give my point and I will give latter on.Thank's.R. | |
Tonearm recommendation Dear lewm: Dynavector specs are really odd because don’t even the theoretical Stevenson calculations with the 241 effective length, 226 P2S and the 21.5° in offset angle they writed as tonearm specs. Using IEC standard the nearest ( Stevenson. ) e... | |
Tonearm recommendation fleib: """ When you adopt a different alignment you're also changing effective length ... """according with that sentence a tonearm designer first needs to know the pivot to spindle distance to determine the effective length on his tonearm desi... | |
Tonearm recommendation Dear friends: """ What don’t you understand? Effective length = pivot to spindle (mounting distance) + overhang (spindle to stylus). If mounting distance remains constant, then effective length (L) must change with a different alignment. """that’s... | |

Tonearm recommendation Dear dover: """ Rauls comments about the Technics EPA 100 are superfluous in this thread as it was never designed for heavy low compliance cartridges and in fact you have to modify the counterweight for heavier cartridges.... """I respect your opi... |
