| the perfect tonearm Dear Perrew, There is AV-101 B (+/- 10 gr.) and AV-101S(16 gr.). I used the 'B' in all of my earlier tonearms:FR-64S;Lustre 801 and Micro MA-505(S).To me:the best headshell there is. But Sumiko AS-12 looks very impressive and I think you should tr... | |
| the perfect tonearm Dear Perrew, 'the Orsonic difficult to get'?I see Orsonic headshells regular on eBay for $100-18o.There is the 'B' and the 'S' kind with diff. weight.But you can try the 'Sumiko AS-12'(eBay.co.uk) for 30GBP. The same headshell is offered under dif... | |
| the perfect tonearm Dear Dertonarm.I am 'disturbed' by the statement of Musicfile: 'wich is superior is strictly subjective'.I assume you know K.Renner and G.Wilimzig ,the reviewersby 'Das Ohr'. Are both of them 'subjective reviewers'? BTW you can provide 'objective ... | |
| the perfect tonearm Hi Musicfile, I still own the German magazine 'Das Ohr'from April 1984 with the first review in Europe of bothtonearms: FR-64s and FR-64fx. Dertonarm mentioned somwherethe same magazine and stated (if I am right)that the reviwers ware very compete... | |
| the perfect tonearm Dear Raul and Dertonarm,thanks mainly to you both ourcommunity is best informed on earth regarding tonearms,turntables and carts.In some sence it is (much) easyer to have just one authority but I prefer two of more. I will elaborate on this later ... | |
| the perfect tonearm Hi Mike,there is,alas, a big gap between what we want andwhat we can afford. But you can get for less:1.Lustre 8012.Micro MA-505 (S)You will need a new (silver) phonocable for both as wellone new headshell,say,Orsonic with (Ikeda)silver 'tags'.Tho... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Axelwahl, I own,inter alia,the Reed and the MicroMA-505. The Micro is,for the price mentioned,a bargain.Period. But on my Kuzma S.R. there is just place for onetonearm and this place is occupied by the Triplanar VII.So I needed one tonearm to... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Perrew,if the Reed can compete with the dynamicallybalanced tonearms (pace Dertonarm) I don't know.In any case I can't compete with Dertonarm. He is theexpert. Besides a very eloquent and knowledgable person.I am just one amateur enjoying my ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Perrew, 'all' and 'some' are quantififyers and veryrisky to use as refering expressions. So there are 'some'tonearms that are new,very good,but not 'so high in price'.For example: Reed L (www.turntable.lt) that I bought for+/- 1500 E (with a ... | |

| Geometry for pivot tonearms - calculation errors?? Dear Dertonarm, My comparition with Frege was not 'accidental'. In intellectual or academic sence you can'tget a greater compliment. But even this 'greatest mind' ofEurope was 'destroyed' by his obsession with 'fundation ofmath.';he never recovere... | |
