Hwllo - here I am again. Sometimes I like more to read as to write - especially by themes of opinions.
For CD-4 I would say, that I know quit a lot about technic and handling (unrestrained self-o+praise). So all sai , that my CD-4 reproduction is absolut clear and without distortion and big channel separation. Why more? After a few monthes I have new built in my Technics oscilloscope. So one can see also well the channel separation on the cross in the show-field by playing the warble-ton. Best results for a well or perfect channel separation are given of course, when (for example for rigt-front) the bar graph goes from the center of the show-field far to the right (front) edge. The other graph ( for rear)should not to see ( stay in the center-point or only a very little in direction behind this. For left by my demodulator (SH-400 - beneth others) it shows such a perfect situation. The situation for right shows a (only) less satisfying situation. The graph for right back shows a little idea outside the center point. And the needle in the adjustment field in the SH-400 shows not 30 dB, but around 28. This is alltogether very well, but for right not ideal.
So I think, the reason may be the needle of the pick up. I think, that it is very important, that the both "corners" of the special cuts must be perfect crossways in the groove. If not, one should turn the pick up a little. But the controling of the exactly crossway mounting of the tip needs a microscope.
As I said, I am in practice very satisfying with my CD-4 reproduction, but one likes to have the absolute perfection. So I ask other connoisseurs of CD-4 tracking here, if they can agree or have further advices.
Because it is a technical theme, it is sometimes a little hard for non americans to find the right words, but I think, you will understand, what I mean.
