“I have a Shelter 501 that started acting up (skipping…I also didn’t set my new arm up properly). The folks at The Analog Room said I needed a new cartridge, which I just got. So, my first Shelter lasted about 3 and a half years and saw very regular use, perhaps an hour a day, […]
Anton Spice writes: An electron microscope captures the moment stylus meets groove in slow-motion. The good folk behind Youtube channel Applied Science have shared an incredible new video of a stylus riding the grooves of a vinyl record in ultra-slow motion using an electron microscope. Cutting off small sections of an LP to fit the […]
Touraj Moghaddam, Vertere’s founder and chief designer, gave a detailed description and explanation of the new third-generation of Vertere Reference Tonearm. Some eleven years after the launch of the original Tonearm – one that was considered genuinely revolutionary – the third generation brings additional flexibility, ease of use/fine-tuning and, of course, improved performance.
