| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment dover If the arm is level, then moving the pivot point up or down moves the counterweight closer to the pivot ...It isn’t clear what you’re claiming here. It doesn’t make sense if what you mean is that raising the arm brings the counterweight clo... | |
| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment moonglumYour beliefs are contrary to those who have measured the force at the elevated stylus point and compared with “horizontal” arm measurements for VTF.Have you performed such measurement to confirm your belief?It isn’t clear what you’re aski... | |
| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment lewm... the magnitude of the skating force will vary based on the stylus shape, the degree of tracking angle error, the headshell offset angle, and the modulations in the groove wall. This is why no one value of anti-skate force will be absolu... | |
| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment testpilotVTF is maximized when the stylus/record interface and tonearm bearing are horizontally inline with one another. Any deviation from this reference will reduce VTF. Sorry, but this is mistaken and makes no sense.VTF stands for "Vertical Tr... | |
| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment moonglumUnipivots are generally designed to be as stable as that configuration permits. This means that ”lowering the tail end” increases downforce not decreases it as you have suggested.It isn’t clear what you mean here when you use the word "do... | |
| RIAA, Questions only please testpilotIt's too bad that the previous thread is now locked as it contained a lot of insightful and useful information ...I agree. I followed the thread closely, even though I never commented in it. It's unfortunate that now no one can follow t... | |
| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment stringreenIf you hear a bit of mistraking add a tiny more VTF. (you can do that by slightly lowering the tail end).Are you confusing VTF with VTA? Lowering the arm with reduce either one, so I think you're mistaken. | |
| Stroboscopic disk sets wrong speed for turntable? bgpowellI read sometime last year that the regulatory agency for the utility companies relaxed the standard for 60 Hz, because it was too expensive ...I think your memory is failing you. First, there is no single regulatory agency for power distr... | |
| Step down transformers detrimental to SQ? millercarbonLine voltage is nominal, as in uncalibrated, as in it varies. What is called 110 here in the US can turn out to measure lower ...This is mistaken. Nominal voltage in the US is 120VAC and is regulated by state agencies, such as a Boa... | |

| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment williewonkaAnti-skate is reqired to counter the effect of the "drag" the stylus/cartridge exerts on the arm while playing a track. That is mistaken. Anti-skate is used to compensate for a force that an offset pickup arm exerts that gives it a ten... | |
