Abstract

In a record playback system which includes a substantially enclosed conductive arm carriage to support and translate a stylus/stylus arm assembly and an oscillator in the carriage to provide a signal at a given frequency, a symmetrical choke is formed in conjunction with the bottom of the carriage. The symmetrical choke is dimensioned to place an open circuit at a given radial distance from the stylus opening in the carriage bottom to reduce the radiation of energy from the playback system in a band of frequencies including the given frequency, and/or reduce the playback system's susceptibility to radiation from outside sources.
