Thanks. That is a way cool tonearm, and from what one can see of it, it is beautifully engineered with respect to the "problems" inherent to a pivoted tonearm. I'd love to see more detailed photos from more angles.
unique tonearm Brooklyn Bridge
A few years ago, an audio shop in Northern New Jersey was selling a tonearm that looked like a strucural bridge element, anybody know who made them and perhaps where to buy one?

Hi Lewn, From a quick search on the net, I'd found 2 more pics. It's made from balsa wood and an unipivot I think. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a52/jasnev/4056fa78.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a52/jasnev/cbcbb807.jpg |
Jaspert, Thanks for the URLs, but both of them lead me to blank pages with no photos. Travis, Possibly because I was not able to view the photos, I do not understand your reference to the L07J (what the cognoscenti know to be the model designation of the L07D tonearm). As for me, I would not say that I am a "fan". There are some things about it that do not fulfill modern ideas of tonearm perfection. But the proof is in the pudding, and it does produce good music with both my Koetsu and my Stanton 980LZS. I look forward to running the wires straight from the cartridge thru to my preamp. That should be "awesome". I suspect the arm tube and headshell are very very well damped; resonant colorations are very very low. |
Lew, The photos (which may be being blocked by a popup blocker (I can see them still, on an iPad tethered to an iPhone in the back of a cab in Tokyo - I LOVE cool technology like this) show the Aura TT with three arm pods, one holding the black balsa creation of Mr. Whittaker and the other two holding L-07J tonearms. My comment was just in relation to a comment you made on the arm in one thread (something about how it didn't have many fans as I recall). I agree with you on all points on the tonearm (though I tend to think of it as pleasing coloration rather than absolute lack of it). Cheers! |
