Example of an incorrect sized stylus being used to play a vinyl LP

[Barry]

Obviously a conical tip, but the tip radius is far too large for the groove width.

No doubt it produces a nice warm, comforting, if a little soft sounding. :eyebrows:

[Joe]

A rub with some green sandpaper will sharpen the sound up nicely.

[Clive]

Azimuth is quite a long way out.

[CageyH]

In this case, the VTF (visible Tit Factor) is only 50% of what it should be.

[hifi_dave]

Good to see you keeping abreast of the times, Barry.

[synsei]

I've been trying to identify the record, it could possibly be Thanks For The Mammary... :)

[DSJR]

Oooooohhhhh. You've nearly given me heart failure Barry :lol: Not good for my flu-monia - cough!

[hifi_dave]

I can't identify the tit le.

It shows once again the attraction of the Technics turntables. If this was shown on a Linn forum there would be too much Wow and Flutter.

Oh and by the way Barry, if you need some help in adjusting azimuth and VTA I would be happy to help. No, really, no problem at all. Actually I insist!

[Roy S]

Bound to go tits up at some stage

Call me OCD but I'd love to get that on my ultrasonic cleaner's pad, with a little wetting of AT637 of course.

Why do my relationships never work? Women never respect anything I say.. "

For some unaccountable reason, I didn't pay too much attention to the actual turntable. If it is a Technics, then maybe Marco knows who the lady might be? It's possible it might be Tabatha, who, as members may know, has a unique way of cleaning LPs.

FIt's possible it might be Tabatha, who, as members may know, has a unique way of cleaning LPs.

????????? Now to those of us who don't know, that requires some explanation. :lol:

That's understandable ... you were distracted by the record.

Edit: The lady's name wouldn't be Norma Stits by any chance?

A rub with some green sandpaper will sharpen the sound up nicely.

...but also disturb VTA, due to the stiffening of the 'stylus'!

Obviously for this application a 'clamp' is the way to go...

Obviously for this application MM is the way to go, higher output equals more pleasure...

Tracking seems to be light, we need more weight inserted in the back end, I'm free and have just eaten many pies......and some muffins...
