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...

What is the main difference in High End today and 10 years ago?Today it is possible to launch average products into the market via Internet Hype from DIY groups. No engineer would ever create such a Design which changes performance daily depending on...

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...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Stich , your own complains about aforementioned arms (Schroeder mostly) was "no highs , no lows " . Pretty primitive way to judge a productfrom a sophisticated listener like yourself. Since you seem to have unlimited budget , ...

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...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...
