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.

Nice chew toy
Color: Dinosaur, Size: Small
I have a small dog that loves chewing on these. It’s a bit pricey, but it helps keep her teeth clean, so I will pay this over her needing tooth extractions and a vet bill.

Not chew proof for little puppies
Color: Rings, Size: Small
Our first Chihuahua when she was a puppy loved chewing on this and pieces never came off. Our second Chihuahua I guess was a heavier tour and he was able to get pieces flaked off.

Great for teething puppy
Color: Pacifier, Size: Small
I was trying to find something very sturdy for our puppy that she could not bite pieces off of and this toy has been great. She loves it and it has held up very nicely. They are not soft so it is great for our teething pup. They are also the perfect size if you have a bigger pup like we do. She is a 4 month old pit mix. I would say they would be too big for a small breed puppy

Cost effective option to find what kind of toys you new small pup will enjoy.
Color: 12 PACK PUPPY TOYS
This was a great puppy toy assortment. It is great because it has different types so you can figure out what types of toys your new pup will enjoy. This package is only suitable for small dogs. Also, I do t think they would be good for aggressive cheers. But if you are looking for a cost effective bunch of small new puppy toys this is perfect. There was no smell, the sound of squeaker were average high pitch, soft and moderately durable, design and appearance were generic. Not high quality but a good assortment. Not suitable for long term use IMO.

Love this and very durable!!
Color: Blue Spider
This spider is HUGE! It's sooooooooo nice! My 3 boys love it! They love chewing on all the legs and it's so big that they can all lay around it and each chew on a leg at the same time! They also play tug of war with it at times! It's stuffed with a cushiony material. It does not bounce. It's lightweight. Has no smell. It's so much fun for my boys! Love it! It has great durability as my one boy who literally destroys all his toys has not broken it and they've had it for 3 months so far! This alone speaks volumes! Highly recommend!
