Pro-ject uses a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum in some of their arms, although the 9cc is full carbon fiber. Linn used the arm on their majik turntable model, so they must think its a pretty good arm. Same arm on my music hall mmf-7.3. My other table is the pro-ject the classic sb with the combo CF/Aluminum 9 inch arm, I honestly hear no difference in sound quality. In my opinion, both pro-ject and music hall provide the most value for one's money today, unless you are rich and splurge for a 10k or more table. They have been very well reviewed in countless periodicals.
General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum
Is it my imagination or is it real? In a very general sense, do Carbon fiber tonearms sound a bit better than the aluminum tubes? I am not sure but if I was a betting man, I would put money on the carbon fiber tubes. Any comments here?
I'd especially like to hear from folks who have had both on their turntables or who have owned both just not at the same time.
Thanks!
