I too had an Infinity Black Widow CF tonearm. It was by far my least favorite of the tonearms I have had over the years. Always seemed rather lifeless, dull, lacking dynamics. Others have said the opposite about that same tonearm. It all depends on so many variables, beginning with pairing the cartridge. For me, it sat for years, barely every using it. I bought it when new, somewhere around 1981. It initially sold for $250 and I got it for $125 (industry accommodation deal). I sold it last year for $550. I hope the new owner enjoys it greatly.
General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum
Is it my imagination or is it real? In a very general sense, do Carbon fiber tonearms sound a bit better than the aluminum tubes? I am not sure but if I was a betting man, I would put money on the carbon fiber tubes. Any comments here?
I'd especially like to hear from folks who have had both on their turntables or who have owned both just not at the same time.
Thanks!
