My question to you is.Setting a new performance benchmark, Ekos SE features advanced materials carefully selected for their sound performance and low resonance properties to minimise interference, resonance and microphony, and extract even more from your vinyl collection. My question to you is.do you think that the Linnie has a point? One that maybe is expecting too much from the cartridge manufacturer.but that is entirely another question. Same for the output from each coil.but again, I think one could argue that this still boils down to a QC problem.
Now I do agree that the more resolving the gear, the more potential for SQ diminishment in the event that the stylus is off even the smallest fraction, resulting in a need for said adjustment. OTOH, I can see the point that this forum member ( Linnie) was getting at, at least in theory! That is, IF the stylus is 100% perpendicular in the cartridge body and is aligned correctly, then what is the purpose of having an azimuth adjustment? Since this question applies to ALL cartridges, and not specifically to Van Den Hul's, then i would think it could be apropos. I'm not saying that Van Den Hul cartridges have QC problems.I have absolutely no idea. Micro, I am simply reporting back as to what I was told on the other forum. But some time in the future I will carry it. BTW, I will send the Colibri to the factory for realignment after 300 hours - it is part of the purchase.ĭisclaimer - my Colibri Master Signature sample sounds so good without any azimuth adjustment that I forgot about it. Surely there is an higher possibility of Colibri owners thinking about azimuth adjustment than from other inferior cartridges. Systems having high resolution usually need more care in set up and show the effects of this care more easily, so we will have more opinions on them than on less resolving equipment. I have owned a few van dan Huls and never had a problem. If other countries distributors have poor support it can be a problem. In Europe we sent them back to vdH and usually two/three weeks later we get them properly aligned or repaired.
In the past some people had quality control problems with vdH cartridges. Unless we have real data with a significant number of samples of each cartridge this is just high-end gossip. OTOH, could it be that Van Den Hul’s Build quality suffers from some lack of QC.as the other Linnie basically insisted.? Just curious as to why you believe in the requirement for Azimuth adjustment.and I suspect it is for a very good reason. other MC’s in this regard.isn’t the build accuracy sufficient to not have to concern oneself with Azimuth adjustments? Now on the face of it this seems like a crazy point of view, however, on some reflection I actually wonder if that is a very valid point! Therefore, why are you so concerned about your Colibri cartridge vs. The Ekos Se doesn’t need to include Azimuth adjustment, because only faulty cartridges from the factory don’t have their stylus aligned in a correct perpendicular manner! As such, adding another connection or adjustment would interfere with the arms rigidity.
Booker, on the other forum when I posted a thread about the importance of Azimuth adjustment and asked why the ‘best’ Linn arm doesn’t include this.I was told the following.( with considerable insistancy and some amount of frustration with my OP, lol):
