Dynavector DV 505 anti-skating question

Because of its design.....being absolutely level is more critical with the 501, 505 and 507 arms than other pivoted tonearms as anti skate will be affected.
These arms will also not work correctly on suspended turntables.
Hopefully you are 'clear' in these two areas..❓😎

Yes, the turntable is not suspended and the level in the tonearm base is also correct. The main weight and the arm itself are also level.

" ... These arms will also not work correctly on suspended turntables."

Why not?

As the weight c/g changes with this arm, the suspension will respond detrimentally.

What is c/g? What do you mean when you say the " suspension will respond detrimentally?" This doesn’t make sense.

There are turntables with lightly-sprung suspensions, and their suspension can be affected by arms of different weight. But those are just lightweight turntables. Something like a SOTA or an Oracle Delphi provide adjustment for arms of various weights. (The SOTA uses counterbalancing weights, early Delphis used a counterbalancing arm under the plinth. Later Delphis used springs of various rates.) Or you can have a suspended turntable with such a massive plinth that the arm’s weight is trivial in relation to it, such as a VPI TNT.
