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.

Indestructable fun chew toy

Great industructable toy. Most toys are lucky to sleep through their first night. This one has survived for several weeks and he loves it.

Great toy for aggressive chewers plus cleans my dog’s teeth!
Style: Bone
I didn’t realize when I wrote this review but do now that small dog treats can be put in the ridges in this toy. My dog loves trying to get the treats out. This is an additional bonus to this great toy! This is a durable dog toy with 2 squeakers which are very entertaining to my dog. He loves toys that squeak! The color is great & has not faded since I’ve had it. It has a nice bounce to it when I throw it when we are playing. My dog is an American Pit Bull & has chewed through a lot of dog toys in the past. Not this one! He is an aggressive chewer & this has lasted. I also like the feature of this being a toy in which toothpaste can be applied to clean his teeth. I use Vet’s Best Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste & he loves it! With the way the toy is designed it is very easy to apply the toothpaste & it will not drip from the toy. It stays on toy long enough for my dog to “brush” his teeth while he chews the toy. I am very happy with this dog toy. It was well worth what I paid. I highly recommend!

Excellent durability but one safety hazard the squeakers comes out.
Style: Bone
Well made for chewing except the squeekers on each end can come out and choke the dog, my dog was chewing on the end of it, and the squeaker came out. I picked it up before he could swallow it. They are choking hazards. That’s the only part that was bad about the product. It’s very sturdy for my little puppy. He uses his mollars. He really gets down to business when he’s chewing 😂
