Mijostyn, are you paying attention? Zenith. Most likely none of your cartridges is properly aligned due to zenith errors. Which means you’re in no position to preach about TAE. The ancient alignment gods, Lofgren and Baerwald, didn’t have to think about zenith because all styli were conical in 1940, not to mention most turntables were wind-up powered and depended upon acoustic amplification.

@gzm I appreciate you like the flexibility of the Viv being free standing, what I found is that by securing it to the surface where it is mounted with a couple of pieces of double sided sticky tape wrought benefits. I suppose you could also use very very thin slithers of blue tack. Worth a try if you haven't already. @kennyc you still haven't scratched the itch with the Viv yet. |
" This seems advantageous to me because the largest source of vibrations is probably my turntable itself since it contains a heavy spinning platter as well as a motor." Keeping the armbase off the turntable won't solve your perceived problems. The stylus will pick up all the vibration of which you speak. I'm not well up on Lenco, but my father had one and it was idler wheel driven - do they have new models, are they still trading? Anyhow, if your turntable is really this bad, you need to upgrade. |
