Hello Paul,This is my first post so bear with me. I am sure that you are aware of the remote-controlled-VTA arms, (Graham or is it Triplanar?) while I have no personal experience with them I know that they are quite expensive.An alternative route mig...

I listened to really a lot of Koetsus (Black, various Urushi, Signature, Red Sig. Platnimum, Jade, Onyx....) and it was always the same result:No Bass , no high frequency area, no colour, no bite... and with different Arms of course (Graham 2.2, Phan...

Sorry, but I have to tell you that you do have it backwards on the skating forces. Just Google for a force diagram. Another way to know is to look at how the anti-skating force is applied in arms using the weight, pulley and monofilament line approac...

Romy, I don't know if you have seen this effort by a gentleman in Greece. As I said, I'm not really a fan of the high mass approach. (I've listened to a few but generally find them tonally unbalanced) This design seems to take that approach qui...
