New $35K pivoting tonearm

Vertere Audio is Touraj Moghaddam cofounder of Roksan.

It has some interesting features including aligning the pivots to the offset angle rather than the arm tube, and bearings that don't rotate, made out of polymer-metal laminate film. Has 240mm effective length.

This came up on Audio Circle and somebody said it sounds good. I certainly hope so. Anybody else?

Turns out that Telos after many years of research have finally cottoned on that wood is not ideal for a tonearm, and is indeed in this instance a wooden spoon, or kindling as Syntax would say.

I must have had great foresight about a year ago when I was criticised for describing on the Telos as a "wooden spoon" on the Wave Kinetics thread.

...chasing, changing, migrating, pixy dust, alchemical hope. The poor designer appears to fall under, "stress is the artifact of an inappropriate model." Maybe, the problem lies not with the design itself, but with the platform, aka "model," that supports this arm during the tuning-in phase...as the reseller of this platform has been known to say, "designed by west coast grads, etc.".

Cheers!
