I have another idea.
Picture comes soon.

This could work

How do I solve a problem with resonance?

Nice little article Joachim. I thought at first you were asking for an answer. I have been thinking about your magnetic suspension for the linear track and I may try and do a simple drawing of an idea I have for you.

cool, you follow up and do not not call my the fool

As for magnetic suspension, I wonder if this sort of thing might be helpful: Levitator Experiment

6 m Litz copper Arm wire now ordered £ 7 with pp.. so a reasonable price

 

[Joachim Gerhard]

Good, where did you order it and what type ?

 

[Jay1234]

TONEARM REWIRING KIT- 4m LITZ WIRE, TAGS+ HEAT-SHRINK ( item: 181137641726

From ebay it seemed such a bargain + the seller has lots of the 'little things' one needs for thees projects.

Have started on the cross sectioned arm tube.

I am a bit puzzled where to find the male and female connectors for the "head-shell to arm"-- i have scavenged a set from an old BSR TT, would like to get something better looking.

Why not using LEMO connectors? http://www.lemo.com/

I guess they would be to heavy for head shell connection.

I suspect that Jack means the mechanical connection which attaches the headshell to the arm.

Hello Joao@AltheaMusica

LEMO does not make that kind of connector!

Yeah, connecting the "standard" headshell and the often-S-shaped tonearm like the SL-1200 has. It's a lightweight (as in low mass) connector I haven't seen anywhere else.

I'm wondering if use of those connectors is a good idea or not. It's convenient to be able to swap out cartridges, but I'd think a one-piece headshell and arm can achieve better performance.

But if you're not going into manufacturing and don't need a quantity of the connectors, I'm thinking an "old BSR" tonearm would be as good a source as anything. The headshells themselves are standard and should be available at the same places that sell cartridges.
