    Arm resonance

    @vince666 I wasn't scared as long as I discovered the fault. I had nothing to lose, the stylus was one way or another, practically useless... It was quite good luck that it survived and more importantly, it was fixed. What bothers me, is why this happened, at first place. I bought the stylus...

    Arm resonance

    I fixed it!!! I watched carefully the stylus and found that the magnet was resting near it's tube wall. Applying the vtf, the magnet was forced further close to the tube wall, so it wasn't in it's center optimal position. Under big bouncing, there was the possibility the magnet could hit on...

    Arm resonance

    THANK YOU!!! Yes, what triggers the oscillation is purely mechanical and has to do with the system "platter - record - stylus - cart - tonearm". What I have understood from this topic, it's a bad compatibility of cart - tonearm, making the stylus bouncing off the record wrapping, and all this...

    Arm resonance

    As I can understand, I have to live with this problem. My Stanton sounds very good to replace it with a more compatible cart. Maybe when the stylus wear out. May excuse me one more question: the compliance of a given cartridge has to do with the suspension of the cantilever (and how freely...

    Yes, I used Baerwald.

    Arm resonance

    @8991XJ I rered your posts and I found that I have to give more information. In my case there is no interference from the speakers as I always record using headphones. The problem was always there, I was given the tt with the current setup, already. The only thing I did extra was to replace the...

    Arm resonance

    Yep, although € speaking here! Anything over 1.5 grams and the problem gets worse. I have the best results with about a gram added on the shell. But far beyond best. Removing the brush weight makes also things worse. The only solution that cures the problem is making the suspension stiffer...

    Arm resonance

    The rumble occurs only when the stylus is on the outermost grooves of the record and only when passing the wrapped part. I can see the tonearm resonates; it's like a car going over a bump. It's not heard, though I can't see the speakers' cones if rumble too. I have them in a not easily reachable...

    Arm resonance

    Thank you! It seems the counterweight has much travel to counter several weight addition. My tonearm is an "S" shaped, I don't know what impact it has. I will start with a gram as you suggested and see how it goes.

    Arm resonance

    It's my Denon SL-5DFF for which I don't have any further info! The cartridge is a Stanton 681EEE with new stylus and suspension (replaced as a whole assembly). If I understand correctly, adding some weight to the shell will rise the frequency. So, this might be a solution if the frequency...

    Arm resonance

    The solution I use on the Shure M91ED is to place a small piece of felt over the cantylever to reduce the dumping and it works perfectly. But I know this is not an appropriate solution and I don't want to apply it on my Stanton 681EEE. So, I'm seeking for a correct solution, if any.

    Arm resonance

    It could be that, too? Damn, it's all new to me, I'm in the tt sports only a year now. When talking about wrapped records, I mean slightly. At normal listening, I can't hear the rumble but when recording on cassette, the signal saturates when the stylus passes the slightest wrapping on the...

    Arm resonance

    Hello! How can we mechanically reduce the low frequency resonance on a given tonearm - cart setup? I'm talking about the low frequency ramble which occurs when playing a warped record. "Mechanically" I mean what mods can be done on the tonearm/shell/cart instead of the easy way to use a high...

    Denon SL-5DFF - Do you know anything about this tt?

    Thanks for the replies! Well, it's a strange story. Anyway, I'm happy with them. They work exceptionally well and I'm thankful for having them (for free!). Good to know! Thank you! I'm not an expert but indeed this cart sounds amazingly good to my ears, while the Shure is very good but lacks...

    Denon SL-5DFF - Do you know anything about this tt?

    They can run on both 110/220V as stated on the label. I'm in Europe so 220-240V/50Hz. I guess the frequency isn't a major problem since the strobe is designed to tune with both 50 & 60Hz. I don't think the driver for the DD motor would have any problem with the frequency since it supports both...

    Denon SL-5DFF - Do you know anything about this tt?

    I have searched there, no info. It looks like my tts don't exist!!! The SL-51DFF is similar looking but not exactly the same.

    Denon SL-5DFF - Do you know anything about this tt?

    Hello Phoenix! First post after my introduction! Some time ago, I was gifted two Denon SL-5DFF turntables. One in working condition, the other for parts. I repaired the faulty, so I have both two working. The first has a Shure M91ED cartridge with an aftermarket stylus and the other has a...
