| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hello Axel, adding 2 and 2 does not necessarily adds up to 5. You should give your own findings and the above description a - long and deep - 2nd thought........Awaiting your revison.You'll find out.Cheers,D. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear T_bone, glad to see you back. Its not roman origin this time (but I admit - it would fit...), but swiss/german 15th century renaissance satirc essay in latin (not uncommon back then).The damping is the more effective the softer the material i... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Axel, ....rather the implication, that I very well realize the mechanisms of the game.... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear fellow audiophiles, let me give a final statement to all those, who enjoy and believe in the constant progress and evolution in low-tech mechanics and modern day marketing (which incidently is my profession....): "mundus vult decipi, ergo dec... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Axel, dear Halcro, - we do not need to get on terms in this discussion. If your point of view do differ from mine - fine with me.And sorry again - the examples are off topic.We aren't talking nano-mechanics here nor micro-optics or complex ca... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Halcro, dear Perrew, the task building a tonearm or a TT hasn't changed at all in the past 30 years. Computer "analysis" in our days is - in comparism to the period between 1985 and 1995 - cheaper by a magnitue. Frankly - your avarage compute... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Axel, lets make it simple: buy a FR-64s and simply compare it with careful set-up with some of the other tonearms you mentioned (I already did...).When you've done so, we can talk that subject and the "facts" which are not in "my physics" book ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Perrew, the FR-64s is indeed the ONE BIG bargain in todays 2nd hand audio market regarding tonearms. It would still be if it were fetching $3000. The FR-66s is simply so rare. Production numbers of the FR-66s are less then 1/30th of the FR-64... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Axel, - I am sorry, but I do not need to comment on "acoustic capacitance" as understood by some audio designers and the theory that high mass does "store" energy "longer".I do not have to give the answer - the answers are in every middle high ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high As for my "beloved" FR-66s - its effective moving mass can be reduced considerably by using a lighter (- Orsonic etc.) headshell. The DV XV-1s does perform outstanding good in both - the FR-64s and FR-66s. This is due to the extreme rigid design o... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Perrew, I am very sorry, but the tonearm you mentioned is a design I will not comment for obvious reasons.Some of those reasons were just mentioned by you in your last post......Cheers,D. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Bob, well - there were hard discussions in that thread already back in march/april, - but between you and Raul some hard and direct words were exchanged and I can see no other reason for the shut-down of that thread.I have talked with 2 seaso... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Well, - after all the high-end audio is a classic luxury market. Same as high performance cars, luxury swiss watches (or german Lange & Söhne...), or any similar passion. We are talking the extreme top-end of consumer elctronics here, thus the... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Perrew, in no particular order:- dynamic balanced design (I consider this a must !),- adjustable overhang and azimuth,- very rigid construction - resulting in good energy and vibration handling,- 10" minimum effective length to get below 2 de... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear T_bone, I assume that the "Oldskool"-thread was shut down because of the verbal insults between Raul and Bob. A pity indeed. I doubt that we will ever see again that much information about tonearm-geometry and set-up piled together in one thr... |
