Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm


Wondering if there are any tru-glider tonearm owners that can say that it surpassed their expectations or if in fact it's better than what you were previously using? Also does anyone have a comparison to the Kuzma 4 point 9" arm vs the tru-glider?

Thanks,

Neil

I just took in trade a Kuzma Saphir for a Glider , would you like to purchase the Kuzma? $18200, or would you rather buy the arm the  client purchase for $7500.

What is more important to you?

That it makes sense or the fact that it sounds much better?

The length of the arm wand has no consequences on the play back.

There is no fixed pivot point.

This Viv arm has a pivot point, it supported in the bottom , it also has a bearing , it is not even close to the Glider. The Glider comes in different lengths ,because of its ability to be mounted  outboard , so it can be placed on different tables, outside of the plinth. The Glider has, no pivot point, no mass ,no friction or bearing.

But the best thing it has is the sound.

It does not have a pivot because the string permits the move of the arm in any dirección front to back and side to side 

there is no pivot to spindle just underhang.

the Schroeder has tracking error and bearings.

They have to use an alignment geometry , that means tracking error and friction they equals noise and distortion, that is usually associated with Vta 

 

To here this tone arm nonthing that has tracing error or Bearing noise is going to come close.

When you say scrapping  you mean the Glider?

Don’t assume , have you ever heard it?
