Tonearm Project Consumer Study

Hello! I am a second year engineering student with an interest in vinyl and audio systems, my team and I are doing a year-long project to design a high-end tonearm targeted at vinyl enthusiasts. As part of this, we made a short questionnaire which we hope will let us consider some real opinions from in our design process.
 
The importance of this survey is mainly for the (imaginary) stakeholder, who has to be shown that we have considered the needs and wants of a potential customer of this product. We can then consider how to use this, if at all, for our decisions in the design process.
 
The link to the Microsoft Forms questionnaire is as follows:
We hope to hear your thoughts!
If you have any questions about the project or the questionnaire, please feel free to contact me using the email in the survey.

good on ya Nick. Ignore the anti education cynic. There is room in the world for a lamb free gyro and a sonically transparent end of record tonearm lift.

i spent a lovely 30 years in product development and manufacturing of aerospace products, now on board of a Quantum computing software company, doing some similar research on customer desired feature set.  Spencer has it right. Get started and move down the road. I would encourage you to consider 3D printability in your weighted design trade space. IF you want help, free help as advisor or just review, please let me know. 

Best to you and the team.

What school ?

🤣🤣🤣Lovely!🤣🤣🤣

If "education" is so great, how'd you miss that this whole thing is "imaginary"?

Nick, why don't you work on something you might make a pile of money on? A good example would be molten sodium reactors.

I wish you the best in your endeavor.  I'm looking for something like the SAT CF1-12 for an introudctory modest price of ~ $2.5k.  Filled out the survey.
