| Nube question - what does a tonearm upgrade do What makes the difference between a good one and a great one ?To answer that question correctly, you have to know what a good Arm is, what it cannot do and why a great one is a great one.Most think, their Arm is a great one (no matter how bad it r... | |

| Why blind listening tests are flawed It doesn't matter what a reviewer "thinks", what "religion" he follows...important is, that he writes something which can be sold from a Magazine.This is the reason that for every customer, buyer, reader is a "special reviewer."We have one for rea... | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms Lets have a close look at the - still current design - Ikeda IT-345 and IT-407 tonearms.These are 10" and 12"-tonearms which both do feature the classic detachable SME-bayonet headshell.Their ancestors - the long out of production Fidelity Researc... | |

| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth The general opinion is, that it is fine when the result is between 8-12.It is overrated and I don't give much for it. Today you have different materials in the Arms (Steel, Aluminum, Wood, Titan etc. etc.). There are also different Tonearm geometr... | |

| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms I made the comparison 2012 with the recent IT-407 model. I can't say anything about quality differences....but who knows. Gordon Holt (founder of Stereophile) said a remarkable sentence in an Interview some few years ago: J. Gordon Holt 2007No aud... | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms I did that comparison. I thought, the newer Design has to be better but that was a mistake. The FR-66s is so much better in soundstage, detail and holographic "picture", it was (or, still is) amazing. The 66s is dynamically balanced, maybe that is... | |

| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven So apart from Syntaxs ongoing personal vendetta against Thomas Woschnick and his TW Acustic CompanyWell, just between you and me, and I write this slowly, please read it slowly, too:I have no personal vendetta against TW. You write this nonsense ... | |
| Uneven VTF on different part of same LP Further I put bubble level on the tonearm's bearing housing, it showed unlevel (the turntable itself is perfecty even) which might cause the above issue.Well, when an Armboard is not level, you will ruin your cartridge pretty fast.There are so man... | |
| Goldmund Studio - still relevant today? The T3F is really bad. The moving Arm smears every detail and it ruins every cantilever pretty fast.Even when I would get one for free I would avoid to use it. | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven I'm not a skilled man but it gives me will to try this road myself too....In a way, all depends what you want or expect. Maybe High End? That's difficult, because someone has to know what High End is. It can be an endless discussion because everyo... |
