Dear @pindac : Again thank's for your answer. I don't know if your Be Spoken tonearm in use is that 1010 model where you made it the up-grade or is a totally new design.
I owned the IV and V and more that 40+ other top tonearms, vintage and today models, along several experiences in other room/systems and through all my over 40+ audio first hand experiences I learned very specific information on the critical audio subjects.
In the last 40-50 years the foundation of tonearm designs were/are changed almost nothing even in materials or quality design excecution.
We can have experiences with vintage tonearms that even today top tonearms just can't outperfor it.
I can name some of those vintage ones like: MS MAX 282, Lustre GST 801 or the EPA 100 MK2.
I decided to star my self tonearm design due that I was not totally satisfied with all what I experienced about.
I don't disassemble any tonearm to take a " look " and don't call or asked for support/advise/opinion of no one. The tonearm was designed/manufacturer starting from zero ( me and other audiophile. ) and that's why we took over 7 years to see the " ligth ".
We don't started listing the tonearm design overall targets but I started first learning one by one the true cartridge needs and I mean any cartridge: MM, MI, LOMC, ETc, etc. and tested over 200 different models of cartridges mounted in different tonearms and was when I understand exactly the cartridge needs when we started that tonearm design targets.
I'm still learning about cartridges and tonearms as a fact I always am in an endless room/system learning process and I'm always willing to learn even from n audio rookie/newcmer.
No, not my friend or I are really with high knowledge levels and skills in tonearm design when we started, we had the patience and attitude to learn through the very long process of more than 7 years. Am I an expert? not really as I said still learning.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
