I do not know what Horo music means on the language where those guys are from but in English it makes a lot of fun: HororMuse of HomoMusic… :-)

Anyhow, a visitor sent me a link today to a company that do new TT.

I can’t read what they say, so I know nothing about it. The TT looks like “sexy” but I have a concern.  The super long tonearm is good but with THAT long arm (that I might estimate is 16”-20”) in order o keep the effective mass the arm wand has to be VERY light, I lean really-really. I am sure they did it very light… BUT…

With such a light wand and with such a high surface of the wand the tonearm shall be very much exposed to vibration through air from room pressurizing by loudspeakers. The sexy looking cartridge cable that is hanging below like a violin bow does not help as well as it only increases the surface of the tonearm’s sail and the unwonted thrust from air disturbance… Probably this TT shall come with some kind of sarcophaguses that would isolate it from room’s air.

I also do not know what is the purpose of TWO THREADS to drive the platter. Sure it looks very nice….
