It possible that those systems exist but I never heard about them and even I think it is too late to invent the thing for record playing but I still do like the idea.

Sometimes ago I showed to my local audio-friend an absurd looking old Russian tonearm that Russkies made somewhere in 70s. The friend of mine, the MIT-type person, looked at the tonearm, then looked at me and asked me very seriously: “Romy, are you s...

It is always difficult objectively deal with tonearms. The tonearms is very difficult subject, performance of which might be severally masked by thousands associative parameters. However, the biggest problem is that it is imposable to talk with peopl...

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: ...

Thanks Romy. I didn't ask for advice about brands or models, just knowing the technical features an arm should meet to work fine with the Shelter, the same you commented that the Denon needs high mass arms of about 30 grs. I'll read your post, s...

It is fashionable among audio people to play with this analog, rewiring tonearms for instance. It always astonished me how masochistic this ceremony is and how many people dive into it completely voluntary.
Ok, let me explain you something. In MC an...

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...

[quote user="bernie_f"]Hi Romy.I completely agree with you regarding the VTA <-> VTF relation on every arm out there (the lever rule also seems to work with tonearms ;-)). Also i agree that if you want the correct absolute measurement of VT...
