Why is the price of new tonearms so high

Dertonarm is Europe's mrtennis.

Someone you have a great time with, playing 'table-tennis'? You think Dertonarm is into this game?

What a crapshoot.
How about going back to tonearms then?

Hello sir,

I just purchased a Jelco SA-750D tonearm for $490 without cable. I will be installing it on a new plinth we are building. The cable cost me another $130 total and both appear to be real bargains. The Jelco arm is a real beauty and works and sounds very well from those who are using it. I will be installing a Pete Riggles VTAF "on-the-fly" adjuster. Once I get everything dialed in properly I will purchase a cartridge. It takes a little time but it's all worth it.
