Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm
@lewm I am open minded on this subject. The Thread has been a prompt, and as result, I have the opportunity coming to encounter a version of Underhung Geometry. I have no intention on commenting on Underhung or 9" vs 12" Wands until the upcoming...

@goofyfoot Note: I have no vested interest in any of the items referred to in the following, I have been receiving invites, to be part of the assessment team during the evolving R&D. The Tonearms in question are now, following a very successf...

In the not too distant future, I will be receiving some of the fruits born from my encouragement, and will be in a position to be demonstrated the same New Design Tonearms in both 9" and 12" on the same TT, using the same Brand/Model Cart's with a... 
What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead?
It is very difficult to find tubes from a NOS Production Period such as the from the 60's Period, that are perfectly matched for the purpose of being used in a Phonostage. I have Siemens and Mullard Brands which took months of searching and arran... 
Origin Live Tonearms

Tube or solid state
HiFi (High Fidelity) has the origins for the use of it as a term, that is founded in the 1950's. It is a Marketing 'Buzz Word', that has successfully stuck and been adopted in daily use. As in all Marketing 'Buzz Words', there is something a lit...

@intactaudio Dave good to see the inquisitiveness ( the quality of wanting to discover as much as you can about things), is proving to be availing. I was off this thread, but my visit and your last post has got me 'back in the game'. As said, I ... 
Retip lyra delos and upgrade
