Note that I wasn't criticizing your tonearm at all. It is cool. I can't tell how good it sounds, from here, actually. Seems to have very low distortion. Note that I was kidding and being sarcastic about the TT-3 costing "only" $3750. :) I do, however, think that the sliding tube could be closer to the cartridge end of the arm, for less lateral back-and-forth forces.
oh i see it seem impossible...i have slj2 and lazer is tracking the groove..i do enjoy analog...turn table, cassette player, vhs..they are real nice and natural sound and audio..in photography...digital pic really sucks...film photography and movies! are still the best...digital destroy image and sound...but for convenience it really help lot of people..but for serious audio and video, still nothing compare yet to analog..and of course 'tubes' is analog and its the best, cheers
This kills all the more complex air bearing designs by a country mile. Must be an ultra friction free arm, coupled to a good cartridge. -- Sounds good!
On a linear tracking arm there is no skating force. He did this by using a very low friction linear bearing. See his website for a diagram giving details of the bearing assembly.
pure GENIUS!! You must be relying on the "skating force" to make the tonearm move? Or is there a "canting adjustment" to the polished tonearm "support rod" so that the tonearm runs "downhill" ever so slightly, to assist in tracking? So simple, yet so ingenious!!!
The Clearaudio TT-3 linear tracking tonearm is only $3750. (at needle doctor dot com ). Why bother with DIY, LOL
