the 47 lab RS-A1 arm, and it's clone ?


Lewm
suggest this arm, and I really like the idea . does any one know the best way to pick one up used if possible? they were $500 , from japan years ago .
what are your experiences [ in sound ] ? if it's about this price I will get one .
Is there a DIY clone out there ?

Someone else did not make it to the shower on time. It sold. And not a bad buy at that. Congrats to the buyer, if he read this thread, and please report to us your impressions of that weird yet wonderful gadget.
I just installed the RS Labs RS3 rotating headshell on my Dynavector arm. Results are very promising. the headshell is not hard to use like the arm and comes with a usable arm lift.

The sound is very airy and "natural" with excellent ebb and flow. Lots of spatial information and life. If you have an arm with a interchangeable headshell, this might be your ticket.

As for the arm, I have not seen one for the low $500 price used but sometimes you'll never know.
Hi
Me to - I recently received one and have been trying it out. In theory I guess it shouldn't really work but I'm surprised at how it's sounding - micro moments than I haven't always heard before it seems to be digging up - I just think the design could be improved as you want the stylus quite far behind the pivot point - not near it ! Anyway I'm using mine with an SME MK1 12 are and SPU / Koetsu as so far so good - the theory against the design approach hasn't actually materialized sonically ! I'd be interested to know if there are any other RS3 users out there ???????
