Why is the price of new tonearms so high

Dear Perrew, I have already built the phono stage which closed the book for me (and for several others who before had all worth mentioning in the top-price region).
If you happen to come to Munich one day - let us know in advance and you are inivited for a nice session and a good coffee at the lakeside.
Cheers,
D.

Dear Axel, well - why no let Raul comment on the Lurne hypothesis?
As you know - I do not share Lurne's point of view.
Maybe Raul does.
Cheers,
D.

Thank you making that quite clear. Must have missed that point last time round. Now what's THAT mean....?
A shortcut? A new geometry? A new ...?

I can go back to rest my case, yet another 'non-compliant' item.
Oh, well.

Syntax, you can make that man a great favour by letting us all know.

Dertonarm, thank you very much for the invitation, always wanted to see Munich. I spent one summer working in Koblenz actually.
