I was reading the thread regarding mass and tracking,which reminded me of this gadget I had installed on a grace 747 arm about 23 years ago. It clamps on the arm and has two outriggers with small weights attached.When I had this done way back when,,David Saltz (audio cable guru) was working at a local high end shop. he mounted this behind the pivot point on the grace, instead of at the headshell. Which is contrary to the way it was designed, but I do not recall having any complaints about it at the time.
I am curious if this would work as a way to add mass to my Notingham Interspace arm and Dynavector Karat, if mounted as designed at the headshell/arm junction. Since the Karat is so light and the effective mass of the arm is 11.5g + 5.3g for the cart, I wonder if it might be worth playing with.
Any one have any memories of this gadget?
this is a quote from an issue of audio basics, I found when I googled the KKC-48
"The object of the device is to stabilize the arm by
adding a high polar moment of inertia. This
device (Final Audio Research Cartridge-EQ
KKC-48) (what a complex name for a simple
device) works just fine, improving the image,
bass response, transient response, and dynamic
range of the cartridge – arm combination."
