Most fancy tonearms

Dear Solong, there is no mention in this article that those
'consructions' are Russian.Well that those are 'non standard' as well that there are 'patent applications' for
some of them (he knows of 15). He intend to post about the
'history of tonearm making' later. But he only mentioned
'47 Lab' tonearm explicite. 'Our own' Lewm owns one of those. The writer (or the author) also stated that the most
of those tonearms are not functional.

Regards,

I forget to mention my own impression: some of those 'constructions' are obviously designed by an fisherman.

Dear Nandric, I never said that the tonearms are russian of origin. I wrote, there are pictures of them on a russian webpage. It's a kind of objet trouvé.

After all, I consider these items as pieces of art rather than instruments for audio purposes.

Here's another example: Horo

I've seen it on the Munich High End show in 2009 - but I didn't listen to it.

Dear Solong, Sorry ;I should write'Dear all' in the introduction but I was so 'centered' at translation from
Russian (long ago that I used this language) that I was realy responding to other contributions. BTW because of this I even forget to mention my own 'impression'. I hope
you will forgive me?

Regards,

Dear Nandric, I have not visited the site, but my tonearm is called "RS Labs A-1". While it is a bit esoteric, more than a few of them have been sold and it is very much in production. I don't know whether or not "47 Labs" has anything to do with the RS-A1, but if they make or plan a tonearm, it is likely to be even more weird. I will take a look.
