Ok but I'm curious: if an arm which is tapped is quite dead, is this an indicator of a superior arm thus allowing to hear more of a cartridges characteristic...?
Tonearm microphonics
When I have the volume at my normal level & tap the arm (not whilst playing vinyl) it is slightly amplified... Is it possible to significantly reduce/eliminate this?
Current set up - Roksan Xerxes 20plus, Origin Live Encounter tonearm (thin cork ring at the base) with Lyra Skala.
Apologies if this is a stupid question!

Cartridge and Microphone do the same thing! http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/site/b0d226992d31e25d/ If you use a Stethoscope you will hear tapping on any arm you use! http://bestreviews.com/best-stethoscopes |
Fascinating thread... Infection wants an arm that won't "tap". It's his sole criterion — he could list twenty different strength and weaknesses of his tonearm, but he doesn't — it "taps", that's it, so needs a new one. His new one will tap too but we'll save that for the sequel. Meanwhile, Clearthink disagrees angrily with everything Raul says, as quickly as he can type it and post it. Keep it coming guys, it's entertaining... |
