| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Lewm,"the counter-weight is pretty far back from the pivot point"This is just the way the photo was made, it's not an indication of how the counterweight "should" be placed. The position of the counterweight will depend on cartridge weight and the... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Interesting turn of discussion here... I am quite in agreement with Dertonarm regarding the differences between sound and music reproduction. I have had a number of profound "moments" over the years with cheap sound systems, as well as great ones,... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Manufacturer disclaimer: Dan_ed wrote earlier:"The jewel cup (of the Talea) is slightly more difficult, but can be pressed in and out by hand, assuming one has strong fingers. In any case, it is pretty much a field replacement."No, it is not: this... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Syntax,How much do you want for your mammoth bone?.... :)Joel | |

| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Syntax,No, the Talea wasn't defective; the confusion comes from the fact that Frank and I were using different cartridges and phono stages. The attendees were expecting a straight comparison that didn't occur; and the room was really packed, which... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Thanks Mike for your offer to bring your A90 for Frank! Very nice of you.I'm happy to settle on the A90 for this session, so I'll bring mine. If we indeed do a first set up before switching to the A90, I'll use Thom's VX-1S.Cheers,Joel | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Has anybody heard this? | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Raul,You are right about trying to minimize the factors between tonearms. However, I agree with Paul about the important fact that using a wire that is not offered to customers would be a serious problem in any type of evaluation. Nobody would kno... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Syntax and Mike,You guys are too much! Yes, Mike is right, I did quite a bit of research in the area of bows and made a few prototypes that were pretty close to that model.... close but not similar: even transposed (musical pun intended) in propor... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Lewm,I'm not advocating setting azimuth by ear as necessarily the best method over any other one, but one thing I've noticed is that using only one frequency (1kHz, or another one) to measure crosstalk isn't terribly reliable. When I managed to es... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Doug,You're very right about the process--with one addition, perhaps a very personal one: I love accidents, mistakes and wrong turns. In musical composition (which many people don't see as rigorous, but actually is, just as much as scientific expl... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm The question of tonearm/cartridge resonance is a very complex one, as seems clear from some of the posts here.What is referred to as "damping" usually refers to the combined action of two of the basic parameters that allow to identify the acoustic... | |
| My experience with changing azimuth Doc,Great, I'm glad my observations were helpful to you. The process does take some patience but it's worth the effort.Cheers,Joel |
