I got it. The secret.
The art of tonearm design is the art of recognizing and managing emotions in materials.

Well, personally I am impressed from GerryM5 that he tries to get in contact with some Germany Audiophiles. I guess he knows that most are not able to answer in english language even when all Germans have it in school to survive outside the own border :-) The German forums have mainly 2 attributes: -to show who is without work/lives at Hotel Mama or - to get something cheap from a Dealer or Manufacturer, and it is pretty boring anyway. Most forums are marketing platforms, I have no problem with that, but what amazes me for years is the fact, from the real competent Designers I never find any "comments or buddies who do him a favor" but from those who are glad that some think positive about their real world average products, they are endless. Let's try to save the good Standard here :-) |
Meeting in Munich is a nice idea, there is good food and nice bavarian girls with Dirndls. When we meet each other, there will be some German Audiophiles, too. Don't be confused when you hear that I talk to them v-e-r-y slowly, some of them are close to deaf. But quite enthusiastic and we have always good discussions about the price tags. |
there is a rumor that Monty Phyton discovered, that they never made a movie about Audiophiles. Time is ready now...Based on the bad economics they want to use the Movie "Life of Brian" with a new title(Life of the Tonearm)with some changes in the text...(transfer to our modern time, Jehova will be replaced with FR-66s etc.....) |
"Unfortunately" both TW threads in the German forum have been closed now. The questions for technical design features based on the pricing created too much trouble there (without any comment from DerTonarm). Compared to that, the posts from DT are nice, friendly entertainment. Take it easy, there are more important problems out there. |
