@harold-not-the-barrel i have had similar issue from the start with DS-3, even my cheapest digitale scale was better that this Ortofon. I think all ortofons sucking enegry from the batteries too quick. However, my new DS-1 works fine for one year and i think it's better than DS-3. P.S. the problem with cheap digital scales and with mechanical scales is that all of them have different thickness, normally thicker than vinyl record, so they are incorrect, because the stylus is not leveled right. |
@cleeds Gravity is a constant. VTF doesn’t change just because one record is thicker than another. Plastic mechanical scales are 1cm higher than actual record surface, some digital scales are not designed to measure stylus pressure, they are also much thicker. Watch Fremer’s seminar where he said that https://youtu.be/eQDa7suJn64 But now i’m more concerned about cross talk setting which is much more complicated. Also start thinking about digital microscope, he mentioned this one https://www.amazon.com/Dino-Lite-Microscope-measurement-function-software/dp/B000P43IQY |
