![]() It also has DJ capabilities to create a lot of special effects, whether you are a DJ or not or even do some kind of “satanic ritual” by playing your records backwards (if you get this joke, then you must have been born no later than the late sixties) It has a lot of flexibility since one can archive one’s vinyl collection by digitizing LPs through its USB output, play them through a receiver or integrated amplifier, or if one wants to go high-end, simply turn off the on-board the internal phono pre-amp and use an external one instead. This turntable is the higher quality machine in Audio Technica turntable line up that is full of the features that most will be looking for. Technica USA requested me to write about their AT-LP120-USB turntable (apparently they read my turntable article on Wifi-Hifi), I was giddy. This usually means the item being review does not suck as most companies have realized by now that I have no filter and can’t sugar coat anything. I prefer to keep it ready on my switchable tape loop and only use it for drastically problematic situations as I can HEAR it working.As you might have realized by now that I’m always excited to review anything that any company offers me. I can't explain how some audiophiles on here with dual subs CAN'T hear it working! The alteration due to how it works is because it sums both channels into MONO below 150hZ PLUS it subtracts channel cross talk noises in the bass.Īctually I have no idea HOW it does all this, somebody smarter can explain it better.īut when you NEED all this-get the KAB! However it is pretty strong medicine if all you need to kill is mild floor bass feedback or groove rumble. It works great at totally cleaning up poor mastering groove rumble, floor shake, airborne bass and just about magic if you are being attacked by deep bass problems like the plague. It is the most heavy duty bass rumble cone flap remover known to man. It is the ultimate tool for removing rumble through cancellation algorithms AND processing AND filtering. It is a necessary component of a hi quality tonearm design." Īgreed! Even KAB, who makes the high quality subsonic filter praised by so many on here states clearly on their website: "Fluid damping offers benefits that cannot be achieved any other way. But the advantages gained from #2-#5 above are still beneficial to any cartridge design. The resonance issues are less of a problem with stiff cantilever suspensions because the stiffer the suspension, the lower the peak output at resonance. Since damped resonance has a wider, less pronounced peak, it's frequency may appear to move slightly when compared to the before damping measurement, but it really has not changed at all. Study this and you can understand how damping merely changes the "Q" of the tuned circuit. It does not change the effective mass of the tonearm.Ī good electrical analogy would be the onset of oscillation in a crystal oscillator. Subjectively increases detail retrieval.ĭamping has no effect on the Arm/Cartridge resonant frequency. Reduces the sensitivity of the tonearm to external vibration.ĥ. Eliminates queue skipping at the beginning of the disc.Ĥ. Actually reduces the stress the cantilever sees riding up and down a warp.ģ. Attenuates peak amplitude at resonance.Ģ. ![]() In summary fluid damping does the following:ġ. Click to expand.Agreed!
