Morsiani TT/Tonearm

Thanks much Twl. I am trying to learn more about turntable and tonearm design and the engineering philosophy of designers/builders in order to educate myself before I jump off the deep end into vinyl. I discovered the link to Morsiani on the Audio Consulting website (itself an interesting read) and was intrigued by the Morsiani stuff. I asked for some info and Carlo Morsiani sent me a doc by email VERY quickly (30mins later?). From what I gather from his email, an order would take a LOT longer to fill.

From what you and others have written here and on AA, I have pretty much committed myself to the high-mass concept. I am very interested in the Teres product and the similar Redpoint/Galibier designs as well - partly because of the fundamental simplicity of the concept.

Can you suggest any other sources of turntable-design-related info and ideas, especially about tonearms?

Thanks, Travis

Thanks again Twl. I think the "closed loop" explanation is eminently sensible - makes perfect sense (which begs the question, how does one deal with warped records?). I think I will spend some time googling around and see what I can find.

Sorry about the link error above, the correct link is www.audio-consulting.ch.
