I am not sure 'picking up arm resonance' is necessarily a good feature, since with such a lot of resonant activity going on during the measurement it is not likely the rest of the FR is being as accurately measured as it could be. The broad peak centred on 9Hz is not on the record, it is an artefact of the arm/cartridge being excited by something, it could well be deliberate signal but could also be ripples in the disc.

I will have to use the biqad 30 band analyser that is in the software that comes with the RME. Next I will try the frequency sweeps but this is more difficult to record as I am using REW and that does not have a maximum peak hold in the real time analyser. I have not managed to improve cross talk at all despite a lot of azimuth fiddling. Note that my xtalk, using HFN PN and Elipson 1kHz was the same (21dB one way and 18dB the other so the HFN PN is OK for that. In conclusion, stay away from the HFN pink noise tracks but the Elipson seems better, but maybe still not perfect.

If anyone knows how to interpret these well to identify specific problem sources please impart some knowledge!ДЇinally, I used the PEQ in the RME and turned on the subsonic filter in the preamp to flatten the frequency response somewhat. Below is the difference spectrum using Audacity of the flutter measurement. There is a lot of observed movement in the belt under use. Not very good with ~0.1% rms so work to do there. I also used the 3150 Hz track for wow and flutter and used that WFGUI program that you can find. What about that silent groove on the HFN record for rumble? Elipson doesn't have that but lets compare with the 1kHz tone. (repeating using the 100 Hz and 10kHz tones gives -52dBc and -25dBc). The cart measures <-40dBc 2nd harmonic so not bad. Lets take a look at the Elipson 1kHz tones and use for distortion and rumble. Using the Elipson pink noise mono track I get something which is a lot closer to the paper plot but with more slope and added arm resonance, indicating this pink noise goes lower than 20 Hz so good to use for picking the arm resonance too! Using the HFN pink noise tracks you get something like the below, with rolloff at the bass and high channel deviations in the upper treble. A gentle 3dB drop from bass to treble and then a 2dB lift at the very top. The cartridge frequency response should be something like the below.

I am measuring my 10 year old VPI scout (acrylic platter) and a Dynavector DV20X low, into a Project DS2 preamp and recorded using a RME ADI-2 PRO ADC/DAC.

My system is Windows 8.1, Eleven Rack being used as the DAC, Pro Tools 12, Slate VMR, Meldoyne and Waves Power Pack.In another thread I said I was waiting for the Elipson test record and would post some comparisons with the HFN record when I received it.

Is anyone else having a similar problem? If so is there a better workaround? I have searched the forums and I do not see any comments like this. This is time consuming and also frustrating due to, if I forget to remove Melodyne Pro Tools either crashes or Melodyne is disabled on startup and if I forget to Print the Melodyne track I do not seem to be able to get that track back into Pro Tools without redoing the pitch corrections from scratch.

The only workaround I have been able to find is to do my pitch corrections, Print the track and then remove Melodyne and save my track. I disabled the Waves Power pack (cut the whole plugin folder to my desktop) and Melodyne worked fine. Anyhow I installed the Waves Power pack and started to have Pro Tools crash and when it finally did start Melodyne was disabled. So I have been using Melodyne Editor in Pro Tools 12 and the other day Waves Power Pack was on sale and so I picked that up mainly for True-Verb and DeEsser due to the sale price.
