your solution for removing a set of the bearings is really clever. You have done a really good job. Hope you will be able to compare and comment if you think the reduced weight made an improvement. How did you go about making sure the two tubes are parallel? Also how did you attach the headshell to the rod and did you incorporate any adjustment control for perpendicularity or other facets of alignment?
Hi PDR and all Audio Circle members.Really nice job, you are telented for sure.If I had the money and if you were willing to do it for me, I would ask you to modify my Rega P3 (W/Rega Exact MM cartridge) with your magical arm, but unfortunately I have no money and like they say: No money, no candy... What's you next project?Guy 13
Looks too simply and delicate to work. I see that the glass tube(s) are sloped towards the center of the record, so is that (gravity versus bearing friction) the only lateral tracking adjustment? Noticed any damage to your vinyl or stylus?
The next up will be to make another, better looking tone arm.....this one is a little ghetto looking....
That looks very nice, it seems it would be a more cost effective alternative to theTrans-Fi Pro 3 I am using
very impressive.one simple question -- how do you ensure it is aligned correctly: perpendicular to the groove?
Do the tubes rotate back and out of the way to ease getting the record on and off the spindle or do you have to ease it under them?
Hi PDR, Ericus Rex and all Audio Circle members.Of course if you are not carefull which this set up you might scratch your vinyl when putting it on the platter.However, that's only a small down side when the sound quality is there.I wonder if someone would do a trade in :My Rega RB301 for that beautiful linear arm.Hummm I wonder if I would be doing myself a favor.Guy 13Guy 13
