| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @lewm : Any one can argue about because it's a way incomplete ideal tonearm description that I'm not willing to " take " this time. In the other side what you posted: " the stylus should always ride right down the middle of the groove. "... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear friends: Maybe some of you already experienced that we did some mistakes when were doing the cartridge alignment with either Löfgren A or B. Well, I did it like 2-3 times with out take in count my alignment errors that were in the overhang: 2... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : Please don’t misunderstood my words. I posted that I’m trying to understand/figure out or look a " rational " explanation to know why you like it, not other gentlemans but you. I’m not trying to diminish your self capacities or your system... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : It is totally obvous for any audiophile that that " special "/different sound quality is due to tonearm/cartridge big angle error over the LP groove modulations. I mentioned that bearing low tonearm friction only because the designer... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @lewm : My toughts about that headshell and damping issues are trying to understand why with that calculated ( wbf ) " huge " angle error you like it. So with the usual headshell and Löfgren A/B real alignment a comparison could tell us or ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : Do you tested the tonearm with out O rings ? So, for your last post means that there is no way to turn the cartridge in the tonearm headshell. Sometimes and depending of the headshell the cartridge can turn just a little but permits it b... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @lewm : " main goal was lowest possible friction. Hence the pivot floating on an oil bath. " So,what you are experienced with is that the arm wand is " truly free " to make sudden horizontal/vertical movements with even lower true unipivot... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @dogberry : " Likely you cannot either,..." That issue has no priority inside my MUSIC sound reproduction ( I mean that that comparison because TAE is inside the priority due to its direct relationship during cartridge groove modulations rid... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @dogberry : "" The question that should be central to all of this is which is the greater sin: TAE or added anti-skate force? "" Perhaps for you and other gentlemans that could think like you because for me it’s ( as always ) what is rig... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : " the theory would predict that the Viv should sound grossly distorted (your term) " Not really a theory but imagination of some gentlemans. R. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : Where posted I the VIV should sounds awful? what I posted is: " When yo said that your other 3 cartridges sounds better in reality is not true BETTER but different because its stylus tip angle is running the grooves in way different a... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @lewm , OP and friends: That some audiophiles as lewm like the VIV " sound " is just anecdotal and does not means the VIV design play performance is better that all the other pivoted designs due that the VIV design is a WRONG design is a wise... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar @wrm57 : Yes, it’s of the same kind of cantilever ADC used with its Astrion cartridge that I owned too. R. | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar @wrm57 : Then you own the original, latter on ADC improved the cartridge with a better cantilever: berylium that was the latest TRX2. I never heard this one. R. | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar Dear @wrm57 The one you own comes with berylium or sphire/ruby cantilever? R. |
