Geometry for pivot tonearms - calculation errors??
Dear Axel: I mounted my 97Xe ( a small brother of the V15 ) in the IV and works fine so I don't see any trouble with your combination.I don't like to speak about devices that already own a person but I can't stay " quiet " . This next thoughts/exp... 
Phono stage hiss from BOTH SS and Tube Normal?
Dear Rick: Somewhere the cartridge/cables are " taking " that hiss and even the own cartridge could generate if is out of builder specs ( a faulty one ).It is very difficult to fix a hiss ( is more easy a " hum ", that is difficult too. ) because ... 
Geometry for pivot tonearms - calculation errors??
Dear Axel: My experience on cartridges are that: experiences on cartridges, MC or MM. I don't now why I give the impresion that I'm or have a MM bias, I'm not.I have several MC experiences with vintage and today cartridges ( I own and owned ) and ... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear friends: IMHO we have to see/take ( everyone ans specially the tonearm builders. ) the tonearm like a " tool " a very precise tool that ( between other important subjects ) can/must give the opportunity to have a near perfect cartridge ( like... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear Axel: Yes, I agree we have to accept the real world situation specially when things are out of our control or best effort.What I mean ( sometimes I can't explain me in the precise way ) is that if we want to improve the quality perfomance of ... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear Axel: Certainly the analog imperfect world " permit " that the people take decisions that are more oriented in " feelings " than in scientific care like the tonearm/cartridge set-up. Even those 0.1mm affect/provoke changes/distortions that ar...

I'm wrong, what we are doing is an additional arm wand of 2cm over 12", that's all.Raul. 
The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.?
Dear Lew: That specific reviewer IMHO is a " shame " for the audio environment.Unfortunately he ( like other " pro " reviewers. ) has the " power " of a free-pen with out anyone to " stop ", sending/making wrong/corrupted audio information given t... 
Geometry for pivot tonearms - calculation errors??
Dear Dertonarm: Could you share your " finds " /thoughts n that 1st geometry for we can understand and try to help about?, because both have an intimate relationship.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear friends: I'm sure that many of us some way or the other are understanding in a best way the whole tonearm subjects on geometry/set-up.One additional point that I want to address is one in reference on what Axel posted:+++++ " There seems to b... 
Add Headshell weight to track better?
Even if the cartridge is not very sensitive to load capacitance. It could help too try change in loading impedance.Raul. 
Add Headshell weight to track better?
Dear Toufu: Like Doug point-out a a Record Cleaning Machine is a must for you if you don't have it yet.Other two issue could be on the cartridge set-up, specially on VTA and azymuth and in the load capacitance for that cartridge: you can try with ... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear Peter: Your question IMHO has mre than one answer because there are mre than one factor involve.If we take from the geometry point of view the 12" tonearm always will has advantage ( in theory ) over any other shorter tonearm. But unfortunate... 
LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix??????
Dear friends: I already email Dertonarm on the subject to start about and we come back to you in a dedicated thread to share and take ideas from all of you.In the mid-time you can email us with your thougths and ideas on the whole subject, I mean ... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear friends: Now that we are here and that some of us are " playing " with the information there are one or two subjects that can/could help to understand what is happening or what we are listening when ( example ) we buy a new protractor ( any )...
