In Reply to: Pivot To Spindle Distance posted by zoltarcat on September 17, 2006 at 04:11:49:
kind of sidetracking your post, I appologize...Rega claims that a 17-19mm overhang is desired (measured by the distance from the platter spinle to stylus at its nearest point), while Audio Technica wants 15mm for their OC9ML.
Anyone help a noob out?
Follow Ups:
Rega specifies 15mm overhang for their recommended null points (60.0 and 114.7).Origin Live specifies 17.24mm overhang for their recommended null points (65.2 and 122.3).
And a cartridge manufacturer can and never will specify an overhang dimension for a cartridge. It's not his business.And do you what the effect is of a 2mm tolerance in overhang, your suggestion 17-19mm? First of all both are wrong and a "wrongness" of 2mm will place the null points (if you know what that is) completely off the playing surface of the LP.
This is where I got that 17-19mm number; from the ORigin Live website:The tip of the stylus should be 240mm from the pivot. In approximate terms, the armboard mounting hole should be such that the cartridge stylus will "overhang" the record centre (spindle) by a distance of around 17-19mm for an arm that is of 229-250mm Effective Length (distance from stylus to armboard mounting hole centre). Roughly check this by swinging the stylus over the record spindle.
