After reading through a whole bunch of comments, and based on my knowledge, let me just boil down the overwhelming response for future readers: the problem brought up in this video was solved by the manufacturers either at the development of straight tone-arms of very probably shortly thereafter. There are two different types of headshells/cartridges on the market: those for s-shaped and those for straight tonearms. The headshells for straight tone-arms are already angled to prevent wear.

The overhang on the S arm is 52mm, the overhang for an straight arm is 50mm. No need to angle on a straight arm if the overhang is right it will lay on the groove perfectly.

I copied this from the Stanton Website where it talks about cartridge setup: Some scratch DJs will angle their cartridges 23 degrees on the headshell. Note: Angle outward on S-shaped tonearms (this will emulate the angle of a straight tone-arm and help the needle hold the groove better). Angle inward on straight tonearms this will emulate the placement of an S-arm for fidelity (sound quality) Side note: Some people on here need to grow up. Dont be dicks! this guys here to help and ask advice.

Dual turntables were my introduction to audio equipment in the early to mid 70s. Nice lightweight arms with an angled head. In addition my latest Dual (vintage 1983) has -a tracking- an anti-skating adjustment that helps minimize the wear due to the natural angle of the head. I'm sure most watchers already know these things, but you *DID* ask for comments!

For simple listening, a straight arm will have less mass. This wouldn't matter if records were perfectly flat but since they aren't, less mass is better, all other things being equal. And as you can easily see on any S tonearm, you can simply draw a straight line from the head shell to the tonearm bearing and you'd have identical angles everywhere, but wind up with less mass.
@sneskid7817 жыл бұрын
This combination greatly reduces tracking error, which is required if you're listening on an audiophile level. The tracking error on a DJ table that doesn't have the S arm is much greater, which also means more mistracking distortion. especially in the inner grooves. This is also why you should never use an elliptical stylus in a straight arm DJ table.

My Stanton is a straight arm with the headshell showing markers for correct cartridge angle. So its a correct headshell although you can use any headshell using the same angle. I set my Shure M44-7's. to this. Works great. So my cartridge has always been angled as you show on your video.

It's funny, because on my Technics ca. 1980s P mount, the cartridge is actually held at that perfect angle to the record where you plug in the cartridge , and that's attached to the straight tone arm.

@freezazoid What I meant in my comment was that the shape of the arm is irrelevant. What matters is the relative offset of the headshell, what the cartridge is mounted to. And you're right, that cartridge mount is just plain sloppy. The right position, angle and settings are all very critical for best performance.
@guillermocazal732311 жыл бұрын
The tracking force has to be equal to the pressure you are using on the cartridge so if you cartridge is at 2.0 g the anti skate must be equal to that. Now if you are a DJ the anti skate is used in a different way.You get a groove-less record and adjust the anti skate till the cartridge does not move to any side on the record.

The MK1 was designed with the audiophile in mind. MK2 and onwards were aimed at DJ's,but were still a good audiophile turntable. I'm not sure but i've heard that straight arms are better for audiophiles because it allows the needle to be properly angled to go deeper into the groves of the record.

Can't imagine how to agree with that. The straight arm has placed it's angle around 20° or so in the Headshell, while the S-shape arm has that angle placed 'before' already in the arm, -so the alignment of any needle and the pos. in the groove is the generally spoken really exactly the same at both arms of course, isn't it ? So also elliptical needles does work.. / they are alligned at those straight arms in the same way in the groove as in S-shaped arms.
@mhagain8 ай бұрын
A straight tonearm with the cartridge properly aligned will trace the same arc as an S-shaped tonearm. Once you've got that right there will be differences due to differing rigidity and differing resonances, as well as the overall basic quality of the arms and other factors.
@Dom30317 жыл бұрын
Another point is (see Vestax manual) the o/h is 50mm as opposed to 52mm required by Technics. This is one of the reasons why concorde carts aren't ideal for str8 arm decks, cos they are set at 52mm. This is why i would choose the OM type Ortofon carts as they are more adjustable. However, IMO i don't think that 2mm difference is much cause for concern and in real-world terms putting the cart as far forwards seems to visually give a better tracking angle.
@ow20117 жыл бұрын
If you buy S-shaped tone arms you can always adjust the angle on your cartridge so that it is inline with the tone arm assembly. It then behaves like a straight tone arm.

The Shure WhiteLabel cart has adjustable overhang from 50 - 54mm. They come out of the box set to 52mm (standard for S arms). These are the only all-in-one cart i'd use on str8 arm decks, cos you can pull them back to the required 50mm. There is no adjustment for angle on them.

@darko8211 жыл бұрын
It's correct, indeed. DJ turntables have a really really really short straight tonearm [made for scratching] which is far under the correct overhang. If you turn the cartridge to 23 degrees - which is the angle of normal straight tonearm - you actually do more harm to your record than using it straight. When you're using a DJ turntable with short straight arm, your only choice is to use the cartridge straight and stick to a conical stylus.
@RumbleBones8 жыл бұрын
As long as the cartridge and stylus sit properly in the groove, doesn't matter if straight or angled headshell. An angled headshell would be better for the straight arm, but a straight headshell can work if it's able to be setup properly. If not, don't do it. It's all in correct tracking setup.

@SoundOut260 As long as we're talking about a pivoted tonearm, it will swing in an arc across the record and the cartridge/stylus can be truly tangent to the groove and give lowest distortion at only one point. The proper cartridge mounting will result in the stylus being set to the best compromise, being nearly tangent at two points. This can only be done using an overhang protractor. That's what that little white plastic thing is that comes with all Technics turntables.

the main point of the diamond is to get the vibration from left and right of the grooves, if your stylus or diamond is off it will decrease the sound of the left or right channels, if it's set correctly into the groove it will pick up good vibration so the sound won't make any distortion right? the straight arm is a bit off if you put the needle according to its headshell, so i think it's recommended that you do a slightly bent like you did from the left so that the diamond left and right side seat properly in the groove, but I don't think that it will dig or worn out either left and right side channel because the stylus is design just to slide even you put more weight on the tonearm

I own a Stanton STR8-100 in perfect condition (bought it new years ago, 2001), and there aren't any guidelines on the headshell. It came with three headshells. One factory installed on the tonearm with a factory installed Stanton D5200 SK cartridge. The other two headshells came in a fine plastic case. One had the same factory installed cartridge, and the other without a cartridge. It still looks new, and functions like new so I have no reason to buy another.

Would it be correct to say the cartridge at the point of the stylus needs to be perpendicular to the spindle half way in of the record play? If that is the case, it seems the length of the tonearm is important, as is the angle of the head or cartridge, not the shape of the arm itself.
@blickblocks17 жыл бұрын
With a spherical tip, there will be wear on either, it's inherent. Even with a linear tracking turntable. With an elliptical tip, there will be more wear with the straight arm because it doesn't track as accurately as the curved. With a linear tracking turntable there won't be any more wear than with a spherical. It mostly depends on the specific design of the turntable, however. It's not about the shape of the arm but it's point of contact and rotation.

No, I do not think that that is a good idea, what I see with the angled arm is that the closer your get to the center of the record, the more skewed that needle will become,if it's conical that I suppose it doesn't matter, but if it's an elliptical needle than having the cartridge like that will be like drifting in a car. I think that having the needle centered will be the best approach as this allows the counterweight evenly distribute pressure throughout the bottom of the grove.

Straight arms remove the need for anti skate and require less weight on the cart to stick in the groove.

You only covered playing the record in the first part, which would be equivalent to playing the first or second song on a 12" LP side. It becomes a different thing altogether when you are playing grooves closer to the center. When you play grooves toward the center, you would need to reposition the angle of the straight-arm stylus by turning it in the other direction. In the '70s there was at least one turntable that would automatically change the position of the cartridge as it moved toward the center. Then there are linear-tracking turntables, made to correct for this, where the stylus is moved across in a linear fashion, the same way as the record cutter with a lathe screw inside underneath the turntable, but linear-tracking turntables have other problems.

The straight arm is better for scratching but horrible for sound quality, record and stylus wear because it can never be aligned correctly to the grooves on the record. Tracking error is massive because of the relatively short length of the tonearm no matter what head shell used with it. You can align the cartridge at the beginning of the record but it will become way out of alignment towards the end of the record, and vise versa. The better arm for sound quality, record and stylus wear is clearly the "S" shaped tonearm because with it, the cartridge can be more correctly aligned to the record grooves.

An elliptical stylus design is favored among casual listeners due to its ability to get more out of the groove while putting only a mere .75 - 1.5 grams on the record, but only if you're using a straight arm audiophile turntable or one with an S arm.
