Helpful Database of Tonearm Specs (S2P, Offset, Nulls, etc.)

Figure I'm maybe not the first to post (?) but stumbled upon this resource while doing some research tonight. Figured it couldn't hurt to post for those in need. Not exhaustive of course– but it's a nice, legible, top-to-bottom list with some diversity and depth...

No idea who you are, Ed, but you're a good dude in my book!

What a treasure! Thanks, Owens-River. Hundreds of arms and models.

And "vintage" is misleading: it includes SME's latest.

Oof! Nice catch, @bimasta Thanks! Title edited for accuracy.

In the G section, there is a formatting issue - anyone know how to deal with that?

The January 1980 Audio magazine available at www.worldradiohistory.com has a more complete table showing tracking errors in an article about tonearm alignment. Nothing modern and only a page of listings but it has quite a few arms we all know about. The OPs link has a lot more arms listed.

Here is the thread on that article. https://audiokarma.org/forums/index...ays-most-are-done-wrong.776381/#post-10646830

No amount of screen scaling changes it for me

The page source code also reveals wonkyness– maybe someone with more skills than I has the power to copy and then play with it offline.

Whoa. Cool link, Blue Shadow.

Indeed, I thought I recognised the fonts and layouts used, this just looks like a dump of the VE tonearm db
