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?

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.

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.

Well, then you have to charge 20k for your tonearm to afford all those women:)
If you ever want to meet the other 10 you can always visit here again youre most welcome.
Dear Henry, no cryptic, full information ego but not dogmatic......
You may ask too much - you see, we can't have everything.

Dear Perrew, the very best women are self-financing......
Anyway - no, there is no tonearm on the market now or on the market in the future which would justify other than under marketing aspects a retail price of 20k.
The best can be made for far less.
I'll proof.
Lets see - maybe I made it to Sweden in the next 12 months.
Cheers,
D.
