PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas

Dover, I have no idea what you are getting at, but I agree with your philosophy.  In my post above, I left out a key word.  I intended to say that one should not underestimate the capabilities of Raul's design group.  In my post, I left out the word "underestimate".  That's what happens occasionally when I try to type on my cell phone.  If you follow these threads, you know that Raul and I often disagree, sometimes vehemently.  I am not his sycophant. Nor do I have any direct interest in the success or failure of his tonearm, if it is going to market. I am only suggesting that the excellence of the 3160 in my system is evidence for me anyway that he and his colleagues are capable of fine work.  You may not hold my opinion in high regard, and that's OK.

On 12-09-2017 rauliruegas said that this tonearm adventure started around 9 years ago and gone so slowly, it was a true challenge and very demanding.  The important issue is not to arrive faster but to know how to arrive.  His tonearm design is to be a unique one.  Time to produce tonearm for sale.

No one in a high-end community would like to post a picture of this tonearm? Review without any single image of the product is a bit strange. Post an image! 

Based on the results of a quick search, which I am sure some others must have also done, there is no photo on-line.
