Yes, exactly that. The tracking gives the impression of being very secure with no audible warp wow and very stable handling of crescendos. Much must rest with the damping provided by the eddy current mechanism, something which I believe is unique to this arm, and the very low vertical effective mass. Certainly watching the stylus in action shows no overshoot at all, whether the record has vertical warp or an off-centre hole. I believe it also goes towards the superb suppression of surface noise which I must say is very welcome indeed and steps towards the utter background silence of CDs.Originally Posted by Marco
Is that what you're hearing, Martin?
Yes, it does and the connection seems very snug and secure. I've only been using the DV headshell so far but will try my DL-160 in a Sumiko headshell soon for comparison's sake.
