Your issue is component vibration isolation, not cartridge VTF. Try some sort of vibration control on the turntable first.
Increase VTF to help with skipping?
I have a Dynavector 10x5 installed on a Clearaudio Concept with the stock magnetic bearing tonearm. I've recently moved and immediately noticed a lot more vibration from footfalls and my subwoofer. My cart has a suggested VTF of 1.8-2.2g. Would setting it to 2.2 or even 2.5g help with the issue?
Thanks

If your table is vibrating so much its skipping the solution is NOT more VTF. The vibrations will still make it skip, only now it will hit back down with even more force. Which will still be happening even if it does somehow eliminate the skipping. Instead what you should do is investigate what exactly is causing the instability in the first place. Is the floor shoddy? The rack? The wall? |
You nailed the problem in your initial post OP. You moved and now it is vibration prone. Obviously it was not an issue prior to this.? So the only real solution is to figure out what is different. Likely not your TT or the rack if they are same as before the move. Is the floor itself very different from previous location? Can you move the tt to any different positions to see if problem at least changes? Located now in a different position on the rack or rack is not isolated the same way it was in previous dwelling? Once you figure out how to isolate it from,vibration to be on a par with your previous location your problem will be resolved. Cranking up the VTF is not the solution even if it might appear to work. It would be a band aid at best and a cartridge killer ( faster stylus wear or even cantilever deformation) at worst. |
