Adjustable bearings:
The bearings are composed of high diameter tungsten carbide pivots resting on sapphire v-jewels; they can be completely pre-loaded eliminating chatter but still keeping very low levels of friction.
The pre-loading of the bearings can be adjusted by the user in both the horizontal and vertical axis, with a supplied tool; this enables the arm to be tailored for use with cartridges of different compliances providing better coupling or lower friction, depending on the characteristics of each cartridge. It also enables correction in case of temperature changes affecting the tightness of the bearings, like winter-summer temperature variations.
可調式軸承,可消除震動,並保持低摩擦。透過調整軸承來配合不同的唱頭,提供更好的耦合和更低的摩擦。具有良好的密封性,減低了溫度變化造成的差異。
Massive bearings on gimbal mountings:
Not only must the arm wand be rigid, but also the supporting structures. Both the horizontal and vertical bearing yokes are of very substantial dimensions to provide rigidity.
The combination of high diameter pivots with massive yokes in a gimbal arrangement provide a very rigid platform for the arm wand to move with 2 degrees of freedom.
不只是唱臂的剛性要強,承載唱臂的支撐結構剛性也同等重要。
