I understand the suggestion of experimenting with differing weights and their respective positions in order to ’alter’ the Arm/Cartridge Resonant Frequency. I do have various different Fidelity Research weights to use on all my FR-64S and FR-66S tonearms......and have done so 🤗
Please note one important fact which I think everyone has ignored in my particular case.......
I simply do not have the desire to add ANOTHER ’variable’ to this constantly performed ritual 🤪
Now ’riddle’ me this Batman........Ignoring all your personal individual experiences.....what would YOU do if...
I predict that within the next 5 years, there will be less and less tolerance for subjective Statements on Audio which are unsupported by science or by the ’audible’ evidence of YouTube Videos.
The days of ’Raul’ are over....🎉🤥😝
Please note one important fact which I think everyone has ignored in my particular case.......
- I have heard EVERY cartridge I have owned (70-80) in a recommended Arm/Cartridge Resonant Frequency range in MY SYSTEM
- I have 6 tonearms on two different turntables allowing for 6 different cartridges to be heard in rapid succession
- I have another 30-40 cartridges, 10 of which I regularly listen to
- With each change of cartridge (other than the 6 already mounted) I need to firstly adjust VTF followed by VTA followed by Antiskate followed by Resistance and Capacitance (for all MM/MI) followed by listening to my ’Test Tracks’ to ensure maximised performance
- Every cartridge I own has been tested in at least two different headshells and two different arms to find the ’best’ combination in MY SYSTEM
I simply do not have the desire to add ANOTHER ’variable’ to this constantly performed ritual 🤪
Now ’riddle’ me this Batman........Ignoring all your personal individual experiences.....what would YOU do if...
- You heard better SOUND in your Systems in many cases where the Arm/Cartridge RF was OUTSIDE the recommended range?
- Listen to the combination which sounded the ’best’
- Listen to the combination which sounded ’worse’ but complied with the recommended Arm/Cartridge RF
I predict that within the next 5 years, there will be less and less tolerance for subjective Statements on Audio which are unsupported by science or by the ’audible’ evidence of YouTube Videos.
