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.

Perfect footwear! Wow...
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Navy
Stride Rite deserves all the hype... The best children's shoes we have ever owned. I love the removable insert that lets you measure the foot, or adapt for wide / narrow feet. We took it out just to prevent extra pressure on the bone structure. Basically, I bought one pair of these, and one lower quality brand just for playtime / getting dirty, etc. It was a great setup and it's nice to have two pairs of shoes available. He outgrew these and I got the next size up of the same style. That's a very good sign 👍

Great fit and protection
Size: 4 Toddler, Color: Champagne
We live in San Diego and don't really need warm, waterproof boots most of the time. So when winter started and my daughter had just started walking, I decided to get these as an additional shoe to her stride rite sneakers. They fit really well on my daughter's wide, chubby foot, which is my number one priority.... No other boot we've tried has made it past her toes. I like that these aren't too warm inside, and just have enough fur to keep her legs warm. They fit great over jeans, tights, and thicker socks. And as with all stride rite sneakers, they're incredibly durable and stylish. A bonus that I can take out the padding for my daughter's extra wide feet.
