Why is the price of new tonearms so high

Hi D. :-)
you say:
>>> "- I certainly don't care. I have no questions - at least not in Audio." <<<

Like that sergeant major: "I have no stomach ulcers -- I give them!"

It's good to know, this is how it works.
- Can't hear static vs dynamic VTF? Your system sux :-)
- Can hear FR resonances? Your system sux :-)
- SUT works for you? Your system sux :-)
- Got any audio question? Your system sux :-)

OK, "What we got here is: failure to communicate..."

Axel, the "failure to communicate" line is actually from CoolHand Luke.

I think you might be looking for...

Hartmann: I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your Senior Drill Instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be "Sir!" Do you maggots understand that?
Recruits: [in unison] Sir, yes, sir!
Hartmann: Bulls&!t! I can't hear you. Sound off like you got a pair!
Recruits: [louder] Sir, yes, sir!
Hartmann: If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human f#@&ing beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian s&!t! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair!

Hi T_bone,
gee, my man. Go got that so right, like you'd been doing this for a living! Sir, yes Sir!

Now this 'Hartmann' (Brakemeier?) dude also addressing them "human f#@&ing beings" from high-up his Olympus mountain - elevated demigod of... FR? (F#@&ing Recrutes)

I think you got the drift.
So long it doesn't get boring around here.

Huh, that hurts
