Vinyl just has that tubey magic, well that’s what the guy @ better records proclaims! Lol...I love my vinyl and my many lp’s and phonographs...and you will have to tear them all from my dead cold hands! Streaming is for the lazy...jmo...its fun for discovering etc. But when I’m serious, its vinyl. Right now, I’m liking my pro-ject 9 inch carbon fiber/aluminum sandwiched tonearm with tpe damped counterweight on my classic sb table with a Hana EL moving coil, it sounds great with very little noise...put on the right record and its heaven...even though it’s not comparable to some other's mega buck analog rigs, to me, for now, it sounds divine. Not to mention, the classic is a joy to look at and use.
What does a tonearm contribute to the sound of a turntable?
Curious about how a tonearm affects a turntable sound. I guess it's the piece of the turntable I know the least about and feel the least connection with. how does a really good tonearm affect the sound or not affect the sound? And what about the tonearm does the affecting?
