In Reply to: Fremer's ZENITH ANGLE CORRECTION or have we all gone crazy. posted by ecl876 on February 8, 2021 at 21:09:26:
Of course, if you want to get the very best out of that $30,000 cartridge, you have to obsess about all of them.
I'm not klutzy or anything. There's just a vast conspiracy of inanimate objects to frustrate and annoy me. But the thought of thumbling around with a tiny, delicate, fragile mechanism that costs several months' pay fills my heart with dread.
I've got a 1982 AR 'table with a Shure M44-E cartridge. The only possible adjustment is tracking weight, via the counterweight at the back of the arm. No VTA, SRA, azimuth, tangency, zenith angle, anti-skate, or any of the others I've forgotten. Those apparently weren't invented yet, or were not important to the AR engineers.
It plays records just fine, and gives me great enjoyment.
And BTW, Fremer's room DOES suck below 400 Hz or so. Look at JA's in-room measurements of any of the speakers he has evaluated in that room (Marten Oscar Duo shown above). Huge blump at 50 Hz, deep antiphase suckout an octave or so above. There is NO WAY to accurately evaluate the bass performance of ANY component in a room like that. For far less than the cost of an ultra-exotic cartridge, he could get some bass traps and largely fix the problem. Until then, I have to take ALL his reviews with a large chunk of rock salt.
