Why is the price of new tonearms so high


Im wondering why the price of new tonearms are so high, around $12k to $15k when older very good arms can be bought at half or less?

Dertonarm, thank you very much for the invitation, always wanted to see Munich. I spent one summer working in Koblenz actually.
Dear Perrew,
I am regulary in Koblenz too - family affairs.... but there's no sound there.
Anyway - you are one of the few who will be welcome.
Still vividly remembering my visit to Stockholm in early September 1986.
10 of the 20 most beautiful women I ever saw - I saw that one day in Stockholm.
The best of the other 10 mentioned I married many years later.
Cheers,
D.
Dear Axel, there is no such thing ever as a "new geometry". I believe at least this should be clear to each and everybody.
Lurne's concept idea brings a very special aspect of sttice balance into focus.
His claim that this is the one very important key-stone is however off topic.
In fact - mother nature invented a similar concept/principle of self stabilizing balance as far back as the Carboniferous Period.
Well ahead of all tonearm designers.
It was somehow improved in later years, but the concept was put - dare I using that term... - to an absolute as far back as the late Creataceous.
I am really dissapointed if anyone do ask now what I am refering to.
Cheers,
D.
Dear Perrew, if you browse through Syntax's system it should be quite obvious what he is refering to.
Nice picture of the new raptor in tonearm territory....... black, lean, fast and beautiful.
Mr. Robert Graham - my respect!
And that is something not easy to come by.
Cheers,
