Among many nasty things of the LP playing the way how our tonearms stops play records is one of the most unpleasant. Sure it does not beat the idiotic practice to locate consecutive sides of a performance on the different records within multi- re...

The people who has more than one tonearm for stereo might understand me. I kind of pissed as my dally tonearm/cartridge does not sound as good as my reference tonearm/cartridge. What does it mean? It means that for dally records spinning sometimes I...

Sometimes ago I showed to my local audio-friend an absurd looking old Russian tonearm that Russkies made somewhere in 70s. The friend of mine, the MIT-type person, looked at the tonearm, then looked at me and asked me very seriously: “Romy, are you s...

Thanks Romy. I didn't ask for advice about brands or models, just knowing the technical features an arm should meet to work fine with the Shelter, the same you commented that the Denon needs high mass arms of about 30 grs. I'll read your post, s...

Yep, I fixed it. If does sound very good now, exactly how it has to be. It turns out that my suspicion were correct: my Micro’s fat cable has died on me. I absolutely assure you that no one would believe that a regular phono cable able to introd...

Good day, asking experts if it's worth mounting a Shelter 901 on a SME 309 arm. Resonance frequency shuld get upto to 12.86hz (being 17.6gr arm+cartridge and 9cu Shelter's compliance) which guess too high. Any guideline ? Many tks for advise. Cia...

[quote user="bernie_f"]Hi Romy.I completely agree with you regarding the VTA <-> VTF relation on every arm out there (the lever rule also seems to work with tonearms ;-)). Also i agree that if you want the correct absolute measurement of VT...

It is always difficult objectively deal with tonearms. The tonearms is very difficult subject, performance of which might be severally masked by thousands associative parameters. However, the biggest problem is that it is imposable to talk with peopl...

It is fashionable among audio people to play with this analog, rewiring tonearms for instance. It always astonished me how masochistic this ceremony is and how many people dive into it completely voluntary.
Ok, let me explain you something. In MC an...
