metal beat Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 TT can u/someone explain the theory re wooden arm wandsa piece of 12" dowel has properties quite opposite to the standard metal arm I believe the theory of wooden arm wands or even cartridge bodies is one of combining a certain frequency resonance of the wood coupled with the natural warmth/tone that wood has. That is why hard woods like zebrawood, rosewood and alike are generally used. Metal arm wands generally need to be damped As metal rings, so the resonance is controlled, something wood arm wand do not need. I also think turning long arm wands may be easier than hollow metal arm wands for small manufacturers Tonearms like Schroder, Talea, Reed all use wood arm wands I am sure someone else has a more technical explanation thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telecine Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 A good read, I'm still not sure though how he sorted out Anti skate, having watched that video. It is still a work in progress I think. I believe that he has been considering a weight and a string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Good Vibe Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Very interesting read on the other forum. Gee price seems excellent for a 12" and the materials used in build. Very clever man, looking at the math on designing an arm late at night. wow. Edited November 20, 2011 by Dr Good Vibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scab Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Can you expand, sirAndy? What TT did you hear it on? Hi wolster, I probably shouldn't have made that post. I heard the arm on omegaspeedy's own Lenco. He's a friend and therefore I guess I'm biased so I don't know if I should really be commenting; I don't want to sound like a sycophant. I will say that I believe in the product and I doubt people will be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
