I used the Ebony 3H with the 9 inch Sig arm and it was jaw droppingly wonderful. I dont remember any ringing at all. Call VPI with your question...they are wonderful about solving problems like these. The E-mails are short and to the point, but the problems always get solved.
VPI JMW9 Sig. Arm Tube Ringing. Any remedies?
The mere stylus/record contact during silent passages excites a ringing during playback and is especially audible playing loud cut records with heavy kick drum. It appears to originate from the tube while holding it at the fulcrum and tapping the arm tube with a fingernail. Has anyone found a remedy to effectively drain/mute this resonance without adding much mass to the arm? The effects of this are very annoying. Has anyone using a Benz Micro Ebony 3H or equivelent mass cart replaced the arm with something else and what was your results?
