@jbhiller Baerwald is not a real alignment. It's called Lofgren A and credit should be given to Lofgren for inventing it.

invictus005, I believe Baerwald is a real alignment. This link is for his AES paper of 1941. He acknowledges Lofgren who developed a similar alignment in 1938. http://www.helices.org/auDio/turnTable/baerwald.pdf Anyway, it is common to see Baerwald identified for this alignment. I'm not certain if it is precisely the same as Lofgren A, at the very least they are nearly the same. You likely know Lofgren later developed a different alignment known as Lofgren B. The point is that multiple alignments have been developed over the years for pivoted arms based upon minimizing distortion within specific areas of the transcribed arc. It is up to the user to decide which suits their preferences the best. |
Going back to the OP’s opening question, I plan on using the Shunyata Venom as well. It was recommended by my table supplier. I actually have that cable, but it is doing duty in my phono stage currently. I have a new and better cable on order for the phono stage that will allow me to reassign the Venom for my 1200G. The phono stage can take a big cable and it deserves the best I can afford. I will need to put the Venom aside however to let the new cable break in first. I don’t want to try two cable changes at the same time. I want to be able to judge the impact of the change on the TT independently. How does the Venom sound vs the stock PC, for those who may have tried it? |
