Crazy amount of DIY skill in this setup . A super long arm approaches the performance of tangential tracking , IMO .

well, I'm 73, and had both systems, tangential did not sound better! Oh 40 years ago!

[@bikemike1118]

@@cirrus1964 were both your systems and their cartridges perfectly adjusted? In theory at least the tangential tracking towards the center of the disc should be slightly more precise… probably only distinguishable with an altogether high resolving stereo rig.

[@vinylrulesok8470]

Interesting but a bit impractical in my view. Also I’d be interested to know what material the arm is made of as longer arms are more prone to resonance

[@kopparsulfat]

[@spamsponge]

Now I want to hear it with both tonearms playing at the same time into the left and right speakers. Like a big mess, obviously; but that is the first thing I'd do if I had such a setup. Really cool setup in any case.

What does a super long tone are do better than a regular length?

[@adamossgolebiewski1776]

[@saudade369]

Amazing , I would have loved to see more of the tonearm pivot point though ! Was it a similar idea to a well tempered arm and the damping concept ?

[@farleytaylor5493]

Oh my, that's nice.

[@thecarman3693]

It's a nice approach to reducing tracking errors, but very long arms tend to have resonance issues that reflect/feedback into the cartridge. Good ones, like the Graham 12" arm have solved this problem, but are $$$$$. VPI also has a 14" arm that due to its length doesn't require the shell to be offset as the error with such an arm is less than that of even an offset 12" arm.

[@explorinlearnindoing5462]

I tried a 200 inch fishing rod... Man, that was the best ever.... I could even use it as a remote from my listening seat, didnt have to stand up skipping a track... 👌😄 I am just kidding... I think its gorgious a 12 or 15" arm.... beautifully made. 👍

[@bikemike1118]

Trial and error I suppose and the sheer curiosity if and how it works. Many great inventions of mankind were made like this. Even though I highly doubt that in the inherently imperfect turntable/ vinyl system itself can be achieved reasonable improvement without completely negating practicality. Nice to look at and great handcrafts though…sound isn’t lifelike. Got myself the Eva Cassidy cd …sounds WAY more lifelike on a really good CD player and system.

[@Kowinaida]

What is your rationale for this design?

[@MarkJohnson-vp3uk]

I really like the round headshell. Can I ask you what are the dimensions? Thickness and diameter?

[@sph7674]

One of these days I will convert my 12" WT clone to this 15.7" (400mm) arm. All I need to do is to find the space to place the 16" arm. It just a matter of changing the arm-tube to a longer one.

I differ! On the contrary it makes a young heart and strong muscles, and a long lasting smiling face🤩

[@gaborozorai3714]

Beautiful, but I doubt that an arm of this length can be done without resonance issues that are worse than the problem it solves.

[@rickhigginson8546]

Experiment! Thin bamboo tube may have a resonant frequency which is quite high! Fiberglass & / or composite material may minimize resonance issues. Materials may be inexpensive, to free! Assemble it yourself! May be delicate, as are modern cartridges. Moving coil cartridges should impart very little vibration. In, `the old days,' cartridges used crystals, which, while more distorting, worked! Requited more tracking force, sometimes a LOT, incurring wear on the disc -

[@jootb]

"Beautiful, but I doubt" The lie is before the "but" the truth after. Negative Nancy much? Can or have you done better? Please share if you have. Why not just give credit where credit is due. This is what it looks like... Great job!

[@gaborozorai3714]

@@jootb I would hate to be seen as someone who is negative for the sake of it so let me respond. I have given credit where due, it is indeed beautifully made. I would be glad to have the tools and skills to make such an object. However, a tonearm is not purely an exercise in aesthetics. It is there to face up to some technical challenges. Why is it unfair to point out one's doubts when a design focuses single-mindedly on one of these challenges, thereby making it more difficult to meet another equally important one? Of course it may still work. Maybe the length and slenderness of the arm wand puts its resonances in a range where they are less harmful.

[@cirrus1964]

Great work, but always the same music, which will sound great on any player! Eve Cassidy, Diana Krall, which in fact are easy to reproduce. I want to hear when it really get's tough, and not via internet!

[@sc0or]

Hm... Have you checked internal resonances of such looooong tonearms? There are no materials stiff enough with a such diameter and a length. An effective mass I guess is insane. You are limited with only few Japanese cartridge models. I hope you've found a crazy customer for that ... piece of art.

[@madmeister407]

Any system will sound half decent when not given a complicated piece of music to reproduce (go to any Hi Fi show to witness this). Eva has such a depth and tone to her voice which gives an overwhelming sense of emotion when she sings. This seems to be missing here and her voice sounds a bit sterile. Maybe its because the speaker is firing directly towards the cartridge, who knows but I have heard Eva sound better.

[@alanrogs3990]

Nothing beats a larger well made driver. Music is just simply fuller. It could also be the amount of oil in the tonearm pivot cups.

[@madmeister407]

@@alanrogs3990 Its just a bad design. The plinth is like a sail catching everything the speakers throw at it which in turn will affect the arm and sound. Basics are small isolated plinth, rigid tonearm and keep it away from the speakers. You don't need anything bigger than a 12 inch arm. This turntable is a shocking design.

[@madmeister407]

PS, you could snap the arm like a twig its so femmer. Its not a diy HI Fi turntable, it's a home made record spinner.

[@janedoe6350]

Perfect tracking angle at the expense of tonearm resonance? Interesting! Sounds good reproducing female vocal and acoustic guitar for sure. But I would be keen to see how it handles heavy bass.

[@philippbretzler7687]

When the singer sings so slow that the melody fall in pieces.

[@kalutty]

[@Coolwoo]

Impressive job.However, while a long tangential tone arm may reduce tracking angel error, a well placed and well designed tone arm with a proper overhanging tracking angle may achieve the same result or even better with a shorter arm length, resulting in a stiffer and more rigid mechanical advantage in low frequency response and better attack of bass quality. The motor , even though mechanically isolated from the mounting rack, it may theoretically better isolated from the platter and tone arm, and not mounted to the plinth, but sit isolated on its own. Just a one cent worth of personal opinion, no offence.✌️🙏. The finish is fantastic.

[@sph7674]

All things being equal and with the alignment done properly, a longer arm should sound better due to less tracking error.
