47 lab from Japan introduced their new Koma Turntable 4724 with 4725 Tsurube Tonearm. I did not see them in US. Here is a link to the Japan reseller:

Of course - as ever - the cited discussion has nothing to do with the arm...and - as ever - the price is no indicator of its performance capabilities...Stitch, do you know if the vertical "leaf" bearing is on the plane of the arm tube, as it seems to...

Romy,Could you tell me what is the preferred alignment method (tool and geometry) of your tonearms is? I personally have always used Baerwald but I have been reading lately that Stevenson would work better for classical music....

Actually, the M2-12 turned out to be a good arm. It really does Sound very good. I used it with Denon 103M and 103D. It has very “interesting” midrange in a way more interesting then SME3012 but not as dry as the SMEV. I detected just 3 limitations: ...

I have no experiences or knowledge on this dependency but I have seen people who were trying to say that it exists. Perhaps is does exists but I feel that it exists only in the world of bad designs. Like the noisy TT could be “fixed” with arm with be...

Romy,I use Ortofon Rondo Bronze with Nottingham Spacearm and Spacedeck. I hate Spacearm because bad tracking. Also, I can't add mass to Spacearm.I going to try a heavy tonearm.Fidelity Research FR-64FX with Ortofon Rondo Bronze (compliance is 15mm/uN...

Well, how to maintain their site it is the matter of their own business of cause. Still, I think what they do with site is silly. The people who go there do have ALREADY a specific interest and they look for information, not for a presentation st...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]There is a fusion in contemporary turntables: to make platters and tonearm bases separated. I am not an expert but in my ignorant common sense I do not think I like it. For instants take a look at a German table:http://www....

Hi. First time posting. I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000. He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades. He has ow...

A local audio recently bought a tonearm form a small Lithuania manufacturer. They have a web site, a but foolish in navigation but it is what it is:

Ok, I made a very rudimental prototype of the “Active Tonearm Monitoring System” that I described above. What can I say? I cannot believe how much Moran I was even proposing it! The Active Tonearm Monitoring System “works” perfectly fine but there i...

The people who have 3 arms on a single turntable know the problem. The tonearm on the right is the best - easy access by hand and easy to see the needle lowering location. The tonearm in the top of TT, the furthers tonearm has a perfect view of the c...

Hi,I will buy my second tonearm as an addition to the one (Alphason HR100S) I'm using. I didn't have the opportunity to listen and compare any of the good tonearms that is being reviewed as good (??) by the audio society and to be honest I don't have...

Romy, this is my first post on this forum and I am also on the verge of buying my first ever turntable. Have you ever heard a Rega or Origin Live tonearm ? Do you have an opinion about them ? I am looking to add a 12" tonearm to my TT and looking to ...

For those too impatient or too poor to wait for a bespoke Schroeder arm there is now a +/- ready-made "Schroeder" arm available:http://dagogo.com/artemis-labs-ta-1-tonearm-review Art Dudley also just reviewed a "regular" one for Stereophile (qv)......

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In your “G” configuration the motor takes the place of one or two back tonearms that are very comfortable to use. One of the objectives for this project is that I have a functional need to put more tonearm/cartri...

Hi Romy and others,I'm trying to get my head around the tonearm/cartridge matching mechanics.First of all, are ALL cartridges much happier with a heavier tonearm? Even cartridges with a high compliance?My understanding of a "correct" arm effect...

Paul, my system is back to the operational mode after the EMT tonearm disaster. Actually the biggest disaster was not the lost connection in one of the pins but....the bearing gave up according to my EMT tech (!!!) I must say I've never heard of a to...

[quote user="drdna"]G: This is the smallest in terms of space requirements. Slippage can be adjusted by moving the rotors further from the turntables (North-South on diagram) or moving the belts to the opposite side of the rotors. A...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, I took the anti-RIAA signal converted and run CD player into the phonostage. The RIAA curve was fine and the effect of the HF volume and frequency-depended quantization did not expose itself. So, it looks like the p...

[quote user="oxric"] I just wished you would find it in you, out of fairness and common courtesy, to keep the thread within the boundaries within which it was raised, that is a technical discussion on the approach of Frank Shroder to the design o...

There is an article where Likhnitsky explains what he was trying to accomplish with the tonearm. It is in Russian but there is an image there that presents the concept. The entire silver ball moves along with the arm’s wand. Inside the ball is swimmi...

Thank you, Romy. What about weight? My tonearm is probably too light in its original form?...

It is good that you like that Lithuania new tonearm. A local guy of my who has it also like but I do not like him…. Unfortunately I am not on the tonearm market or I would try it against my beloved absolute reference – the 3012....I know it is very...

Paul, thanks again for a nice input--sounds for me indeed seductive (well, I'm anyway +/- "self-convinced" to give a silver/amo a try).Do you use silver wire also in the tonearm? What I have in mind is a 2nd, all silver path for the 834, which would ...
