Re: (313) tone arm wiggling fixed
Yeah thanks to Sakke for finally sorting my decks out! It was indeed a simple matter of anti-skate & weight just being at the right settings - and one of the feet being loose on one deck. I tested it with cueing & spin-backs & the needle just stayed in that groove :O) cheers! G.
Re: (313) tone arm wiggling fixed
With no anti-skate, the cartridge will get natrually pulled towards the center of the record due to the forces involved in a spinning object. Put a blank sided record on, turn off the anti-skate and place the arm down on it (get ready to catch it quickly) - you'll see that it'll fly towards the center of the record. The anti-skate applies a force in the opposite direction so that the forces on either side of the record groove are equal. Put the correct amount of anti-skate on the arm and then place it back onto the spinning blank record - you'll see that the arm no longer flies towards the center. Actually, it probably flies outwards slightly, but remember the forces on the stylus are different in the groove than on a blank sided record. Best way to set anti-skate is to set it to match you playing weight, and then play some music, listening out for any distortion on either left or right channels - especially on peaks. Adjust anti-skate until you remove this distortion. > > As I understand it, the anti-skating dial is in place in order to compensate > for any overt pull towards the inside or outside, but I've never really > figured that out, except as a reaction to a problem, and to be honest I > don't really understand how a dial works in that context, since a varying > elipse always goes both inside and out by the same degree - or it should > anyway. >
Re: (313) tone arm wiggling fixed
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the tonearm should only 'wiggle' depending on the 'centricity' of the plug - i.e., if the plug is off-center, the tonearm will waver accordingly. Otherwise, the tonearm should always relate equally to the center of the record, right? There should really be no variance other than per-record, not per turntable. Or I could be totally wrong about this, but that's how I've always dealt with it. As I understand it, the anti-skating dial is in place in order to compensate for any overt pull towards the inside or outside, but I've never really figured that out, except as a reaction to a problem, and to be honest I don't really understand how a dial works in that context, since a varying elipse always goes both inside and out by the same degree - or it should anyway.

Re: (313) tone arm wiggling fixed
little tech question. I think I may have tightened it to much to begin with? will the record skip if that is to tight? I tightened it ine whole turn at first, but it skipped bad so I backed it off to about 1/3 of a turn. yeah i messed up my tonearm and had to do the same thing.. basically mine got pushed to the right so that it broke past it's little guard. it messed up the internal balances and made it super heavy so yeah - i used a screwdriver to bring it back to it's original weight, more or less, but you do have to be very very careful.. otherwise it will be either too heavy, and will get into a rut and/or put excess wear on the record, or if it's too light, welll... that's the problem you had in the first place ... jittery tonearm better to have it a bit too heavy though, i reckon ez < Recoil live on InterFACE - Astral Physics --> every Tuesday 7-9 pm est, Toronto - http://www.pirate-radio.co.uk < msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < icq: 98984143 :) _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Re: (313) tone arm wiggling
I can think of three possible explanations: 1. the height ring is not locked, which makes the whole assembly a bit wobbly 2. the pins holding the arm in place are a bit loose (tighten v. gently) 3. the socket that the headshell sits in is loose - this is really annoying and may require a new tone arm. Dan I also noticed with that table when I cue records or try to scratch the needle and tone arm move around a lot and usually pop out of the groove. the other table does not do this. I've been experiencing this problem a lot recently. I bought new needles last year but the problem remains, when I cue the records the needle jumps out the groove and goes back to the start. Putting 5 p coins on top of the cartridge sorted the problem out but when I read on 313 about extra weight damaging records they came straight off! I've tried adjusting the weight & height of the tone arm but it doesn't help the problem. I put it down to the fact that I must have been sold some dodgy needles (they're the standard Stanton ones) & thought trying a different make might sort it out.

Re: (313) tone arm wiggling
This will probably be to do with the tonearm and cartridge compatibility. Do a google search for "tonearm cartridge Resonance" and you'll find a few links explaining the phenomenon. Here's one of them I found http://www.gcaudio.com/Archives/tonearmcartidge.htm Putting more playing weight on will help the cartridge to track but will make the sound become more 'dead' and will wear records quicker. However, what wears records out the most are mistracks. I don't know too much about Dj turntables and the like but I have heard from very many sources that the arms Technics come with are not really very good. Origin live (www.originlive.com) make nice cheapish arms including one which they now aim for the DJ market. I have a OL modified rega arm on my turntable and it's superb but I've no idea what it's like for scratching etc. Please remember to look after your Vinyl as it's a very precious and you owe it future generations who may want to hear this music. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "scotto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 8:56 AM Subject: Re: (313) tone arm wiggling > > I also noticed with that table when I cue records or try to scratch the > needle and tone arm move around a lot and usually pop out of the groove. > the > other table does not do this. > > I've been experiencing this problem a lot recently.

I then decided to swap the needles and I had the same results. now not every record does this and the BC 1 was rather bad it got to one point and it started to skip a couple times. I tested the same area on the oother table no skip or even pop. I also noticed with that table when I cue records or try to scratch the needle and tone arm move around a lot and usually pop out of the groove. the other table does not do this. so I am now thinking something is broken or loose. has anyone else experienced this problem? will this damage my records? make them wear out faster? scotto lansing, mi. _ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
(313) tone arm wiggling
I was digging through some older records and put on bc 1. I was standing there watch the record spin and the tone arm caught my eye. it was wiggling very fast, now I thaught that was odd so I put the record on the other table and it did not do it.
