In Reply to: Should I live with an arm cartridge resonance of 7Hz? DL301II/TP16 posted by ancient tones on August 1, 2005 at 12:36:03:
Are your woofers pumping at a subsonic frequency? Also read van den Hul FAQ #36. Is your bass at all fuzzy- "wolly" as the Brits say? Any tracking problems? If no/no/no, I would forget about it.I have found the Denons I've owned or played with have good damping and are quite tolerant of a range of arm-cart reaonant frequencies, although Denon carts' compliance values tend to be rather low across the board and the resonance is usually too high!
Make sure you have the manufacturer's recommended load resistors. These resistors affect the entire eletromechanical ciruit and have a significant contribution ot the system damping (think of them sucking out a portion of the cart's vibrational energy and wasting it as heat...). I suggest putting the loading resistors inside the headsell, right aross the cart leads, for a variety of reasons. It's a small tweek, costs nothing and in some situations has yielded discrernable positive results, IMHO.
