Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"

Dear @tri-planar: """ Thank you Peter at PBN Audio for confirming our measurement. """

as I said that kind of mesurements belongs mainly to the cartridge tracking habilities. I’m not saying that tonearm is not important because it’s.

Dear friends, sometimes exist a misunderstood with some audio subjects and especially in analog audio because sometimes in those audio subjects our knowledge level is lower than in others. We all have different ignorance levels in different audio subjects. As reviewers has its own ignorance levels manufacturers too as audio distributors and of course we audiophiles. No one knows all in audio. Some of us could think that a professional reviewer or an ausdio items manufacturer  are " experts " in overall audio when it's not that way. Many of you audiophiles knows in some audio subjects more than reviewers, distributors or manufacturers. No one knows all of all.

Here is an example that the tracking abilities belongs to the cartridge specs:

the poster with the issue claims to have 30-40 cartridge so testing your theory not so difficult if he is so incline...
arm
cartridge
table
setup
test record damaged
so what is it ?
poster seems mute since Peter did his test
one would think common courtesy would post up a thanks to Peter....

Dear @tomic601 : I don't know what you men from your post.

Things are simple: first I hve no theory at all but facts tht any one can attest as @lewm or tht Audio review and second LP grooves tracking belongs to the cartridge self abilities specs and not to the tonearm..

What' the big deal? which your reason to your post?.  Sorry, I can't understand.

@rauliruegas we are in agreement IF everything else in tge system is working..I think if you read the thread including the big detour, you will better understand my comments....

Re what Raul said about my experience mating an Acutex LPM320 with compliance = 42, per factory literature, with FR64S using Dynavector headshell which is a bit lighter than a stock FR headshell, it's fantastic, and I hear no bass rumble which you might expect with such a low resonant frequency based on the math.  However, the system is on a poured concrete floor in my basement, and the turntable (TT101) is resting on a large slab of very dense styrofoam used for shipping heavy yet delicate objects.  (Better than any "audiophile" shelf, IMO.) Plus the tonearm mount board is custom made from about 5 lbs of aluminum and heavily damped, plus the FR64S is sitting in a B60 base that also adds mass. Perhaps this is why I don't have an issue.  Add to this the fact that the quoted compliance of 42 is probably referenced to 100Hz; so it would be much lower at 10Hz.  And add to that the age of my NOS Acutex which may serve to lower compliance due to stiffening of the suspension.  This combo is sounding right now to be very slightly superior to a brand new Audio Technica ART7, running next door on a highly tweaked Lenco with a Dynavector tonearm, into the same downstream system. 

I agree with Raul's point that the resonant frequency of the system might not be so important at frequencies well above resonance, which includes all of the music. Unless resonance is excited.
