| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Very wise. Good luck! | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum My impression (as a patent holder) is that patents ain't what they used to be. But I understand your position - I'm ambivalent about giving up the best of my own developments. In my case, it's probably just nostalgia. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn I wasn't talking about the Reed system, I was talking about mine. Wood or wood-like composite all the way. Similar speeds of sound in each material reduce reflections. So what is your own thing? | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Interesting cartridge connection scheme. Very similar to my own solution, except that instead of the cartridge on a plate, the cartridge is on its own wand, so that the cartridge can be matched to the appropriate wand. Also, VTA, VTF, Az... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac Looked up the links, thank you. The researchers used pampas grass fibres, interestingly. These seem to have been harvested from the stalks, much denser than what I used, The stalks are about 15% the density of a fibre bundle, and more rig... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac Ah yes, Panzerholz. It's the best commercially available material that I know of. See, for example, the Reed website. Researchers in Europe, (Netherlands? Germany?) like GLARE, an acronym for Glass Laminate Aluminum Reinforced Epoxy, whic... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac So glad that you, at least, are interested. I'll keep you posted - been looking to see what it would take to modify an old pressure cooker. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum From 09:01, on the 12th, "Pampas grass can make a great tonearm wand. Ugly yes - I’m working on that." Sorry for sharing my prototypes, but I thought others might be interested. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Depends on your aesthetic. If looking pretty concerns you most, then pretty you will have, but performance will be hit and miss - a commonplace in the audio world. If, however, sounding good concerns you most, you will start with good sound and ev... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @pindac Thank you for the kind words. And far more, thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. I am running a linear tracker, so the horizontal effective mass is the mass of the whole assembly. This is about 200 g - the mass of the air bushing a... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn You don't understand. It's a proof of concept. In any case, it's a triangular prism, not a cylinder. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @jperry Please post a picture here or on your system page. Thanks. Done. Panzerholz and Pampas grass. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Sort of. Several stalks bonded together with elasomeric glue with an orthogonal epoxy laminate. Lacking resonance altogether and stiff as carbon fibre epoxy. The exotic high-tech wands look rather primitive to me now. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mulveling My wife gave me an Epoch 3 for the last birthday, and I can say that it’s better in every respect than my diamond rosewood (out of the box vs 1400 hours with minimal wear at 1000). Tonearm wands pampas grass and panzerholz, respectively... | |
