I couldn't find a Test disc with an unmodulated track....so I used side C of Daniel Lanois Black Dub which has half the side unmodulated.
I played the Copperhead arm on the modulated first track whilst listening to one of the FR66s arms tracking the unmodulated second half of the record.
I listened through my Audeze LC2 headphones powered by the Schiit Lyr head amp so that I could hear even the minutest reflected tones.....
I even left off my normally used centre brass clamp to allow the record the least amount of clamping action....
The result....?
Not a single sound was able to be heard via the cartridge playing the unmodulated track....
I thought the 'legend' of this so-called 'test' sounded 'suss'...as I had never heard of it in 40 years of audio involvement....and surely such a conclusive test would have been used in advertising by all those marketing their turntables with vacuum suction....?
Whilst the 'myth' of this test seems to sound quite plausible.....it's just another example of the often unscientific and bogus propagation of untruths which burden this industry.
