In Reply to: Time for an RS-A1 tonearm thread? posted by Dave Pogue on April 17, 2007 at 05:08:48:
I was at an audio shop where the *big system* was in the *back room*. That day it included some huge Nottingham TT using the RS-A1 tonearm with a expensive Shelter catridge.I had just finished a conversation with the owner reassuring him I knew my way around a TT and he didn't have to worry about me hand cueing. He was concerned because someone apparently had recently destroyed a expensive cartridge and made off without as much as a word.
So I get the OK and head back. Well you can imagine how I nearly died when upon putting down the needle the damn cartridge momentarilly makes like it's going to flip on its side!... I had no idea about the unipoint in the headshell of the RS-A1.
Unnerving, but it seems the method is avoid the widely spaced lead in groves and more or less drop in right at the point where the music begins.
Did sound great, but like you I don't think I could live with the *hair-shirt aspects*.
