Fascinating TT-review


One of the most thought- and insightful reviews, which I have read on analogue equipment, has been put up over on
http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/scheu_n2a_e.html
covering old and new Scheu -Eurolab TTs, Kuzma, Pluto, Simon Yorke, SME-arms, and so on. Highly recommended.

Sirspeedy, I was reading the same series of articles the other day and was particularly interested in the tonearm as well. The neutral balance idea seemed good to me since I would like an arm that would maintain its vtf when vta is adjusted. There do not appear to be many arms that allow for independent adjustments of all the pertinent set up features, probably because it's complicated to do and could even effect performance negatively, but it would be nice.
Sirspeedy, yep, it does seem to be a well thought out arm. At least it was explained well enough to make me think about what advantages it may have over my own. I really liked that aspect of the article - that it tried to demystify the engineering and give what seemed like reasonable explanations for the design choices. Nothing to out in left field to comprehend and even some real discussion with the designer. Kudo's to the author for getting me excited about something without really giving much info about how it sounded etc. In some ways, that makes more sense to me because everyones impression of sound is kinda subjective, but good engineering(in this case at least) can be even more persuasive.
