TW-Acustic Arm

Dear Rdcline,

it killed what?

It "killed" any desire to leave my listening room or listen to anything other than the new remastered edition of lou reed's metal machine music. The alchemy created by that arm and lou's greatest work have trapped me in an aural cocoon from which i can neither escape nor summon the desire for escape. Beware!!!--it will be the end of all human
contact for those who dare to give that evil platter a spin under that magical arm. And with that--i sign off for good from this furious debate--remorseful i ever put forth my meager two cents. Still, the tw is one " killer" of an arm !!! And the graham doesn't suck either. The good thing is with this level of interest in something as esoteric to the rest of the world as a tonearm--our beloved vinyl doesn't show any hints of dying off anytime soon. Long live the magic black platter!!!

wow - congratulations. you got the black magic. Wonderful! reading your lines I was anxious something else in your system was killed, glad to hear you survived the attack of the black magic. Enjoy

To paraphrase heraclitus--the way up and the way down are one and the same. Or as eliot says, in my end is my beginning. Thus, the death of any one component is merely the birth of another. My problem with the graham was its inability to transmit the tragic urgency of Zoot Horn Rollo's maniacal glass finger guitar the way the tw arm does. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!!!

I have the killer - and it is a tonearm.....
