| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi all,I succesfully tested the tweak efficiency with a higher compliance cart (Goldring 1042, 24N/mm lateral compliance) and something around 5gr. weights.I guess the idea to add inertial mass "is here to stay", even if with different masses and/... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Amusing...I took the LP out, I put it in a kitchen alu double foil to deal with statics, put on the platter, use a fiber carbon cleaner to remove any small dust particle, look at the stylus (if not ok clean with a small brush, else sand paper - no... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi all,Eric many thanks for sharing the VTA/VTF/Antiskating procedure!The hanging cw trick is still waiting...Woud you mind explaining the Thorsten advice about cart/arm decouple? Is it similar to Len Gregory "The isolator" principle?Stefano | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Finally it plays!My TT, born as a string driven unit, build on arectangular shaped plywood with cadberg and scheupieces, now is a nice drop-shaped, multi sandwich,lead filled unit.It's suspended on air (inner tube). Themotor unit drives the platte... | |
| Paint Removal? There are paint remover spray which are absolutely non toxic. I used one by Saratoga to rip paint off a rega arm.HTH,Stefano | |
| Great service from Mark Levinson and Madrigal Hi all,I bought a used Proceed CDD from a dear friend of mine, living in USA. As I live in Italy with a different mains 220v/50Hz, would you be so kind to give me some e-mail address, in order to ask how to use this unit in my system?Thanks a lot,... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Thank you Tom,I think (at least hope ;-) ) I'm aware of it. The overall resonance frequency of my actual setup would benefit from such a reduction. Should I need more mass, e.g. by changing cartridge, I thought I could add it nearer the pivot (or,... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi all,following Jeff Spall masterwork at www.william-reed.net/rega, I'm trying to apply some ideas to my RB 250 arm, and just wanted to share with your experience/thoughts:I already equipped my Rega 250 with an Expressimo endstub and counterweigh... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi Tom,thanks a lot for your most clarifying post. It worked even for a dummy like myself :-). It seems I'll start looking for an available lead shaft. Thanks a lot.Stefano | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long About the hanging counterweight,is it possible to point me to a photo of such implementation? Isn't it loosely hanging and, therefore, blurring the rotating inertia of the arm? Please let me understand :-)Ciao, Stefano | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Ciao Tom,thanks a lot, I already got an Expressimo stub and cw which satisfied me a lot! The idea behind your strange tweak intrigued me and I tried to estimate the math relationship between cartridge lateral compliance and additional rotational i... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Ciao Tom,thanks a lot for your kind answer!Meanwhile, yesterday I tried with a small amount of tack and used 2 small bits of an unknown metal (each about 2,3 gr.).I must say that, at least, I didn't hear any drawbacks with my Goldring 1042. Indeed... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi TWL, thanks a lot for this great thread and information sharing. I just learned of your tweak. Owing a 250, with expressimo cw, and a cart with a much higher compliance 25 µm/mN (so 5 times DL103's one), I was thinking if, in your opinion, a li... |
