Well-Tempered Golf Ball?


In this month's TAS they describe the Well-Tempered Amadeus as follows: "tonearm is suspended from fishing line (which I've seen and understand) and damped with a golf ball."

Can someone explain this golf ball? Are we talking a Titleist here or merely something that reminds the author of a golf ball?

The newer models have a half golf ball covered with the silver cap. I am a owner of a WT. Amadeus Mk.II. I realize a lot of people are put off by the golf ball and fish line approach, but that, along with a unique style platter bearing, make for a very musical presentation that few standard style (and much more expensive) turntable tonearm combos can match or exceed. IMO
sebrof,
When I told my wife how much I paid for my Mk.II, she didn't talk to me for almost a week! lol.
