New $35K pivoting tonearm

Jeb, Now please make a cogent argument against wood tonearms, if that is your position. Your arguments by analogy are nonsensical. And if you did not read any of the previous posts, you may not know that Reed, Durand, Schroeder, Pete Riggle, and several others DO currently make and sell wood tonearms.

And those plastic park benches suck, by the way. Nothing like a splinter up your arse to let you know you are in a park. Central Park in NYC still has 100% wood benches for your sitting pleasure.

Wood is just another material. Plastic is used in everywhere and yet nobody complains about it. There many other topics to talk about, such as bearing, wiring, geometry, etc... I'm with Lew, if you can't come up with a good argument, just move on to, say, a $35K tonearm?

@Berlinta, Frank, thank you for correcting my error. I looked at photos of an LT arm in Texas and it did not appear to be wood. Neither did the headshell. I must be mistaken. My apologies. I appreciate your contribution to this forum.
