New 55,000 Euro tonearm

@dover , I'm no expert but I do believe Ruby is a form of sapphire.

Sure, and diamond is a form of carbon, did you give your wife a lump of carbon for her engagement ring ?

@dover , no, I gave her charcoal.

In fairness to Mijostyn, both ruby and sapphire are corundum—crystalline aluminum oxide.

mijostyn,

Do you know the effective mass of the SAT arm?  Just looking at the pictures, I cannot even begin to guess whether it is a high mass arm or not.  Most of the mass around the pivot structure is in the non-moving part of the arm, and in any case, mass near the pivot does not affect effective mass as much as mass well beyond the pivot point.  The arm tube looks massive, but, it is a hollow carbon fiber tube of unknown thickness.  

Unfortunately, the SAT website has gone from reasonably informative to vague, feel-good crap.
