My understanding of the overhang/offset angle design is that they are able to make the stylus angular error in the groove zero at two points in rotation from edge to center and small angles everywhere else , It seems the Viv design creates perfect tangency at one point near halfway across the record with increasingly higher angular errors the farther from that midpoint the stylus moves . It looks like the Viv nearly solves the skating problem at the expense of more angular error to the groove . Both approaches seem like one step forward and one step back . A perfect linear tracker may or may not be possible , but I'd love to see one some day . There is a German electronic linear tracker accurate to a micron , but it's $150,000 .

You're absolutely right- overhang/offset reduces tracking error but introduces a constant inward skating force that needs to be countered with anti-skate. The ViV Lab arm allows the tracking error to be higher with the benefit of better lateral stability (near zero skating force and no opposing left-right forces affecting the cartridge). All designs have a compromise somewhere, including linear arms. You're right that linear arms solve both the skating issue and the tracking error issue, but the compromise there is less mechanical efficiency, chatter, friction, etc... no matter how high the price. All designs categories can sound great though, if they are smartly engineered and well-tuned.

Nice explanation. Something that I wasn't overly familiar with. Gives a bit of insight into why "X" manufacturer has taken a specific route into combatting tracking/anti skate...and others follow "tried and tested" methods... Ultimately the research and design elements are seen in the cost to manufacture and distribute...

Hello. Great videó! :) Are you using the lever with such a large slope as it appears in the setting? How many mm is the reach between the top of the armboard and the top of the plate (in after install)? I read somewhere that it should be 45 mm or more and it's already less for me (cca 42-43 mm, tonearm little slopi), I haven't tried to raise it higher, but maybe I should?

Sorry for the slow response. Every turntable is different. 45mm difference between platter and armboard (arm placement surface) is usually enough, but it will depend on how tall your cartridge is. Sometimes using a platter mat and/or a headshell spacer can increase the range. Regarding what is shown in the video, this is intended as a brief overview of setup procedures and possible adjustment parameters.

OK, thankYou. I tried it with 2 turntables, 42-43mm is suitable for me, but I use shell weight. ZYX cartrieges. They are very light and need the weight, which is 2.5mm thick. But I also raise the handle height a little (Airy 3s 1-1.5mm, Airy Cosmos about 2-3mm). This way, the arm goes descent a little, but only very little. But a great tonearm :)

can you tell me if there is a video on how to use your stylus cleaner?

Hi Richard, no we don't have a video on that at this time. We will be sure to add it to our list of future videos. In the meantime feel free to contact us at [email protected] and we will be happy to assist.
