am sure the tw acustic arm is great but for the $, I would probably opt for the time proven phantom, or the triplanar arms. or a used grandezza.
those using this arm, what cartridges works well ? or does not work with it ?
Further, reading online the instruction manuals says that this arm can work with carts between 5 g to 20 grams. Effective mass is 14 g.
Does this mean that any cart that falls into that weight limit of 5g to 20g would automatically work ?
What about the compliance issues ?
Thanks for the inputs.
is the tw arm design more in close resemblance to a Graham Phantom where it is unipivot ? or is it closer to design like a gimballed tonearm in the likes of Triplanar ?
50 hours is quite a bit of LP time.
Any way to make it faster ?
Does playing it with cardas Lp help ?
auditioning arms is best when done on your own system using the same cart, phono stage & the rest of the gears. Otherwise, its very difficult to judge how one arm is different to another especially if the arms are placed in different systems with different cart, etc.
Also, minute details and adjustment of an arm can make or break the system sound...
thumbs up for this arm... heard it a dealer showroom and was fairly impressed with the sound.
Neutral, linear sounding... refined highs... i enjoyed what i heard..
The TW10.5 is a great arm as others have stated here.
Enjoying mine quite a bit.
