| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Thank you for the information Dertonarm. I use the infamous Tact equipment, as well as tubes, computers, etc. Software allows for quick changes in various parameters. My fantasy is to be able to audition specific types and brands of say capacitors... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? "If you want the 2nd order distortions of the better triodes"Shades of Bob Carver! Please, please, start a thread. We have much better tools and understanding now than twenty years ago. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Agreed. I also venture that tubes are prized by many because they like their gentle, well known, distortions. I often wish I had some tube amp compression in my tiny car, so I could enjoy classical music while commuting. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? "There are only audio components which do degrade the recorded sound during reproduction. All do - the better less, the very best very little."Well put. I thought the same for a half century until I came to realize that certain additives and equal... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Tzed: Welcome to the monkey house. Perhaps we can team up and ask Phil for tips on setting up our Southers. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? My understanding is that some stylus shapes are more VTA tolerant than others. This information should be available from the manufacturers, so one can see what range of VTA tolerance is needed by each arm. In any case, the records vary so much in ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? "The problem here is, that the vertical lever is very short too and thus every little tiny height difference on the record is huge for the cantilever and stylus. Huge VTA/SRA changes in a long row"Thank you, this is very clear. Now assuming a reco... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Mepearson :I already said that the scientific way (controlled experiment) was best in this matter. Only In its absence I suggested that each of us be the judge according to the evidence presented. I do not see how your hatred of the jury trial pro... | |
| To big to fail? What road are we headed down? " later that night come and burn your house down... THATS 'Southern Hospitality"Do provide me with examples and I will have the attorney general of said state, and/or the attorney general of the USA investigate the matter. Lies simply do not help ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Yes, carefully controlled experiments are the scientific way. If available, they are the best evidence, however evidence has a hierarchy, at least in the legal world.The highest standard is "beyond reasonable doubt". Granted, that is not the scien... | |
| To big to fail? What road are we headed down? Elizabeth. Shame on you for revealing your sectional prejudice. That bill of rights that protects us all, and provides the same rights to the immigrant, was the work of that slave owning Virginian, Thomas Jefferson. On occasion, when I go to the N... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? After the collapse of the Soviet Union a Western reporter asked Soviet scientist why Russia had so many theoretical physicists and so few experimental ones.He replied- pencils are cheap! | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? I freely admit that I know next to nothing about either engineering or physics, however knowing nothing about a subject has never prevented a lawyer, like my humble self, from asking questions, or seeking precision in expression via words. My incl... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? So, my Souther mounted on a vacuum turntable does not cause excessive wear because I do not play warped records; or it does cause excessive wear, only I don't seem to be able to notice because.....................? Or, is it more accurate to say t... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Have we then decided that the charge against liner arms ".......(they) put excessive side force on the stylus, in a way that would lead to poor performance and quicker wear of the cartridge" is unsupported, and are now simply discussing the theory... |
