New 55,000 Euro tonearm

A $407 tonearm, what's the big deal?  Oh, Euros, not Yen.  Nevermind.  That arm is made for their quarter million dollar table, so it doesn't seem THAT out of line.  I hope a prospective buyer can find a way to stabilize the table enough to work in their 350 foot yacht, particularly if it is a Russian yacht trying to outrun US and European authorities.

SAT has been around for a while. IMHO it is overrated and overpriced. I ask myself if I had unlimited funds would I buy it? The Answer is absolutely not. I would buy a Dohmann Helix and put two Schroder LTs on it. 

Using only the photos attached to the review, it seems that neither the pivot nor the counterweight lie in the plane of the LP surface. Nor is the CW obviously decoupled from the pivot. Those are all commonly accepted good practices observed by new modern tonearms, although I’ll be the first to admit that there are other great tonearms, especially vintage ones, that also don’t conform to those design criteria..
