I have the Audiomods Series III with the bead-blast finish and the micrometer VTA feature Jeff has some great new arms that perform even better and are longer (10.5") than the more "regular" length arms www.audiomods.co.uk Jeff is a great guy and takes into account the TT that it is to be installed on - sometimes making a custom mounting plate for certain TT's His work is amazing and the final product is exceptionally well built He does take a few weeks to make it - mine took about 6 weeks Last arm I'll ever buy - Steve |

@yeti42 , The LT is genius. There is an arm under the platform attached to the horizontal bearing axis so it moves with the tonearm. At the end of this arm is a small round neodymium magnet. Under the lift platform is another magnet which has a crescent shape. As the tonearm moves towards the center of the record magnetic attraction keeps the tonearm pointed in the right direction staying tangent to the groove. The real beauty of the design is that it is driven by fiction in the groove pulling the stylus and thus the arm forward. There are no skating forces at all. The only downsides are that it is not a neutral balance arm and it is impossible to get the vertical bearing down at the level of the record. The CB is a perfect pivoted and offset tonearm. The vertical bearing is down at record level and it is a neutral balance arm. Anti skating is frictionless magnetic. Effective mass is adjustable from 12 to 19 grams In the 9" version. The question is which one is better the CB or LT with it's trade offs. |
