Benz Lp-s Frequency Resonance Problems


Hi to all,

As i mentioned on another thread, i have some problems with my Lp-s on my Graham Phantom arm, i have problems with little warps. I have measssured with the Hifi News Lp and lateral i have between 8hz-5hz and vertical i don't know well as i can't see cartridge wobble or hear any distortion. But for my problem the important is the lateral test.
Benz recommends medium to high mass arms but that's impossible!
To get 10hz frequency resonance you need a 0 gram mass arm!

I don't know if to try a Reed arm, the lightest one is 10gr effective mass and i should have 8hz Resonance frequency.

Any idea?

Many thanks

Agucela, I have already been down carty/tonearm heartbreak lane. Pull my threads to see my history. My troubles involved matching my VPI Classic unipivot with a cartridge that also resonated in the low frequency range. Ultimately, I worked with the factory and resolved the problem. My suggestion is that you call Graham and possibly Benz and ask for their advice. I'm sure you'll figure something out. Good luck!
