Reed 2B

Our newest tonearm Reed 2B offers our users three new operating possibilities:

1) A possibility to use heavier cartridges, up to 35 grams. The low-friction, ceramic bearings are used in this tonearm;

2) Tonearm “2B” comes fully assembled; it is only needed to mount the tonearm and adjust settings like VTA, VTF, azimuth and anti-skating;

3) The anti-skating force can be easily changed independently at the beginning and end of the record. This feature is practical for all newer cartridges’ users, exceptionally because of a variety of the new cartridge’s stylus’ shapes causing different friction forces between the stylus and record groove.

Short theory.

As we already know, when a stylus rides in a groove, the friction force provides a forward force which is tangential to the record groove. (Fig.1. Anti-skating)

F = μN μ – coefficient of friction, N – stylus force (VTF).

Whereas the direction of this force F is displaced 90°+ α from the line between the pivot and the stylus O2-A, this force provides a clockwise moment M around the pivots O2 (Fig.1. Anti-skating), which tends to drag the stylus towards the spindle O1.

In case to avoid the force imbalance while the stylus bears against the inner groove wall, moment M should be eliminated completely at any position on the record. This moment can be expressed by the following equation:

While the F, L and D are constant factors, and R varies accordingly to the stylus’ position, moment M can be expressed as a function of R (Fig.2 Theoretical). Practically an experiment was executed to determine skating force at different points of a record. Instruments used for this test were: fully matte and smooth test vinyl and tonearm Reed 3P with a “Phasemation PP-2000MC” cartridge that was subjected to 1.9 grams vertical tracking force during testing (Fig 3. Practical). Differences in skating force are clearly noticeable at the beginning, middle and end of the record.

Theoretically, it is known that moment M can be eliminated by providing equal compensation in the opposite direction (-M). (Fig.1.). In most cases, M is applied as a constant force, therefore the side thrust is completely eliminated only at a few positions on the record. To conclude, a tonearm with adjustable anti-skating force depending on the position on the record (diameter) is highly demanded.

Tonearm “Reed 2B” has the possibility to control anti-skating force by adjusting two anti-skating regulation handles at any time while playing a record.

Exactly what I needed!
Color: Natural, Size: 6 Panels
My main use for this may be different than most people. I was taking care of some kittens and wanted to keep them away from sensitive areas of the living room (wires, home theater equipment, etc.). At first I stacked some boxes around, which was rather ugly and ineffective (made it harder for ME to get around more than anything else). I went online looking for a better solution and found this room divider. This did the trick! Finally I could have a stress-free time while the kittens were running around, and with something that actually improved the look of the room too. The divider itself is put together very well. The hinges actually fold both ways, so you get some versatile configuration options. It is lightweight and easy to move around, making it very easy to stash out of the way when not in use. I was so pleased that I went and bought 2 of the smaller 4-panel dividers as well, to use in a different area.

UNhappy Customer!
Color: Natural, Size: 6 Panels
Quite honestly I dont normally give poor reviews. I dont normally get poorly made products from Amazon but this time has changed things for me. I will order very little and will especially be mindful of anything made in China! This divider arrived in an intact but wet box. It took me nearly 20 minutes to get it to unfold. The two outside panels flipped out freely but for some reason I had to work to get the other panels to unfold. When it did open, the second panel was clearly damaged. I proceeded to prepare it for return, taped it up securely, requested and received a return label and traveled to the UPS store to return. Wouldn't you know it...UPS shipping charges were $154.00!!! More than I paid for this inferior product. So, if I return on my dollar and hope it makes it to the appointed destination and receive $151.99 for the return cost, I'm out $154.00 and no product to show for it! Its amazing how sellers come up with ways to unload their junk and then prevent satisfied customers by making them pay for the return shipping costs. I opted to keep the junk and consider it a lesson learned. What a scam!
