Dear @atmasphere here /friends: @cardani / Carlos is a symphonic Orchestra player in Xalapa ( way different place that México city where I live. ). He is a young gentleman with a huge musical talent, I was lucky to know him years ago because our mutual love for the MUSIC.
At random Carlos had to comes to México city 10 days after both terrible earthwakes here and was when I meet him at my place.
He is the only gentleman that not only see my unique tonearm design but the only person to listen my room/system with.
Normally my audio friends come to my place not only to enjoy MUSIC but to talk on what we like and meet other common friends but since I have my prototypes under testing and deep evaluations no one came here.
He had this privilege and I know was a privilege to listen it because I know that for him was an unexpected audio experience.
As you know this tonearm " adventure " started around 9 years ago and gone so slowly because I'm not in the audio comercial market ( I'm an audiophile. ) but the more important issue was that the design targets were and are a true challenge and very demanding due that not only had to fulfill the cartridge needs in deep but that I must be satisfied with.
Btw, these are the words in a Mexican song: " the important issue is not to arrive faster but to know how to arrive ", something like that. At the end this is not my way of living$$$.
As Carlos said my tonearm design is a unique a truly unique one, it's not " more of the same ". My target was similar that when we designed and manufactured the Essential 3160 PhonoLinePreamp " no more of the same ", even today has no competition at any price.
Our tonearm design competes with no other tonearm in the market, is just unique and the best is that any cartridge always shines and shows it at its best when mated with: a true universal tonearm design. This is not marketing slogan, I made " thousands " of tests with almost all vintage and today top LOMC cartridges looking for that " shines " and the tonearm performance level always " made " it.
Due to its manufacture complexity I'm evaluating the financial needs to build perhaps no more than 25 units additional to the ones I will own. If we put on for sale this will be not through the net and will be direct sales. I'm not totally sure yet how to handled it.
Anyway, the tonearm exist.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
