| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @intactaudio : You don’t get it my point or I can’t explain it in the rigth wat but your charts goes exactly on what I listening during those yesterday tests: the overhang change/error produce a kind of distortion that’s detected when the al... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @drbarney1 : You are totally rigth: " makes the " cure " only worse ". But even that huge VIV offset angle the issue is that has no " detectable " listen distortions but the other way around: " Suffice to say that each of the 3 cartr... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @intactaudio : Why the stylus shape can affect the alignment? Linear offset is the same always in both Löfgren A and B alignments if we don’t change the must inner groove and must outer grove distances. If you have a cartridge /tonearm ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear friends: I forgot to post on the protractor manufacturers that speak of Stevenson alignment that ( as with Lögren ) Stevenson alignment does not exist but Stevenson A and Stevenson B and no one of those manufacturers an even tonearm manufactu... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear friends: Even that lewm posted that it's not the main subject in the thread and yes it's not however I consider that's important for each one audiophile knowledge levels and especially because in this thread we are talking of tonearm/cartridg... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @lewm : Any one can argue about because it's a way incomplete ideal tonearm description that I'm not willing to " take " this time. In the other side what you posted: " the stylus should always ride right down the middle of the groove. "... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear friends: Maybe some of you already experienced that we did some mistakes when were doing the cartridge alignment with either Löfgren A or B. Well, I did it like 2-3 times with out take in count my alignment errors that were in the overhang: 2... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : Please don’t misunderstood my words. I posted that I’m trying to understand/figure out or look a " rational " explanation to know why you like it, not other gentlemans but you. I’m not trying to diminish your self capacities or your system... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : It is totally obvous for any audiophile that that " special "/different sound quality is due to tonearm/cartridge big angle error over the LP groove modulations. I mentioned that bearing low tonearm friction only because the designer... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @lewm : My toughts about that headshell and damping issues are trying to understand why with that calculated ( wbf ) " huge " angle error you like it. So with the usual headshell and Löfgren A/B real alignment a comparison could tell us or ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : Do you tested the tonearm with out O rings ? So, for your last post means that there is no way to turn the cartridge in the tonearm headshell. Sometimes and depending of the headshell the cartridge can turn just a little but permits it b... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @lewm : " main goal was lowest possible friction. Hence the pivot floating on an oil bath. " So,what you are experienced with is that the arm wand is " truly free " to make sudden horizontal/vertical movements with even lower true unipivot... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @dogberry : " Likely you cannot either,..." That issue has no priority inside my MUSIC sound reproduction ( I mean that that comparison because TAE is inside the priority due to its direct relationship during cartridge groove modulations rid... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Dear @dogberry : "" The question that should be central to all of this is which is the greater sin: TAE or added anti-skate force? "" Perhaps for you and other gentlemans that could think like you because for me it’s ( as always ) what is rig... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm : " the theory would predict that the Viv should sound grossly distorted (your term) " Not really a theory but imagination of some gentlemans. R. |
