  According to the Cartridge DB my arm/combo should have a a resonace freq of 9 or 10hz. On the HFNTR it comes in at 15hz...

  If my arm truly has a mass of 11g (nottingham interpace arm) and the Karat weighs 5.3g and compliance of 15, something doesnt ring true.

  I do love the sound, but if there is a warp on the record I do hear that energy coming out of my sunfire sub (xover is at 32hz) main speakers are Magnepan 3.6's

  I have thought about getting a 3g headsheel weight from VPI to see if that would help.

  Just have not gotten around to it.

  Any thoughts on the subject?

    I'll have one headshell fabricated from brass, the original is

    aluminum. I'll post my experience maybe next week.

  • Your listening experiences indicate the RF is too low not too high. - Garth 13:37:26 08/12/06 (0)

    If it were too high there would be too little bass energy all else being the same.

  Hi Henry and Paul,

  
  My turntable is Ambient, so its purely Clearaudio. When I subjected

  it to Image Hifi Ultimnate pickup Test Record's tonearm-cartridge

  resonance test, the tonearm started to shake from 16Hz to 12 Hz and

  gave warbling sound. I was really disappointed since my other system

  which consist of Cl A Emotion-Satisfy-Classic Wood passed the test

  easily. And I'm sure the specs are correct.

  
  Best regards,

  Joseph
