    Tangential vs Tone-Arm

    Reply Contact
    With a standard "tone-arm" turntable, the record groove moves the needle across the record. Does this happen with tangentials? I am watching my BG 3000 play a record, and I could swear the arm moves independant of the groove. Comments?

    With a tangential arm the arm is moved by a motor. When the arm has a certain angle to the tangens (the right line of the groove) the motor moves the arm a little inwards.
