Interesting. I would like to listen to one of these BUT have heard too many mixed reviews. Some say is great others say it's as good as anything else and some say 'don't waste your time'
I think I might look at the Basis Vector or Talea ??? maybe next year!
It would be wise to have a listen to it for yourself, to make your own judgements. Some folks here have their own adgenda's and opinions. I will be listening to it for the first time at this years RMAF.
auditioning arms is best when done on your own system using the same cart, phono stage & the rest of the gears. Otherwise, its very difficult to judge how one arm is different to another especially if the arms are placed in different systems with different cart, etc. Also, minute details and adjustment of an arm can make or break the system sound...
You are right, but would it not be best to have your own opinion on a tonearm from a brief audition than to ask someone here for an opinion.
"Any new updates on the 10.5 tonearm ?"
Comparison are great like you state above, but I highly doubt most or anyone shopping for a TW arm will have a dealer willing to setup an arm in a system, or anything else for that matter these days. Dealers have showrooms for that purpose. Unfortunately that is the way it is.
Reviews and opninons stated here are just that. I would rather trust my own ears in a brief demo over what has been writen here or any other place.
