| Tonearm resonance It's getting a lot of raves on other forums. I might have to give it a try. If I do I will be sure to report my findings. | |
| Tonearm resonance The table came with a full molded carbon fiber tonarm and it's definitely better than the aluminum tube numbers I've had (thorens td325 comes to mind) which sounded like an aluminum tube in the background. This arm is better but it's still transfe... | |
