Hi Larryi,
you mention something VERY interesting
>>> For that, the only somewhat easy to implement way to mitigate the problem is a long tonearm. <<<
An aha, moment?! - But is it not, that if e.g. 1.5mm arm-up on a 9" arm is required to get 'ball-park' from one to another kind of vinyl, this would translate to even MORE change with a 12" arm?
I don't say that's all there is to it, but you know -- the old Egyptian, or should I say Pythagoras come to mind... the trigonometrical-functions.
It'd be just the ticket if a 12", 10.5" or 11" be more 'forgiving'.
Just this afternoon I played some very famous Swedish Jazz Ensemble's LP (my Audio friend brought along). And after running it through my RCM it played better more correct with cymbals etc. going 0.2mm down on VTA... eish!
So could it be, a longer arm IS more forgiving?
D.
Technics EPA-500 ===> Titanium Nitride, ah so,
FR-64s w/B-60, oh yes, look most desirable objects and surely as scarce as chicken teeth, methinks :-).
Greetings,
Axel
