A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Hi Hiho (enter elves stage right!),

I think you can find it here: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1200430667&openmine&zzDgob&4&5#Dgob

I have only seen it but am pleased to hear you suspect that it is 'revolutionary'. I wouldn't be surprised though. It does seem beautifully engineered.

Dear Lew, Your jealousy reg. my arm pod is such that you even use such 'arguments' as gallions and slaves against the innocent thing. I expected, to be honest, some reference to your beloved Newton and his laws but I need
to deal only with the arguments you posted. And those are
to my mind self defeating. No slave had the means to own
both; the TT as well as the tonearm. So obviously the more
probale situation was that there was a TT in one gallion
and the tonearm in the other. If the slaves wanted some music the only possible way was to connect them somehow.

Regards,

Dear Dgob, Where? I went to that page. Raul alludes to the tonearm in his text but there is no photo I can find. There is or was no photo on Raul's "system" site, either. Or are you saying that he just recently posted one there? (But I looked two days ago... nada.)

Dear Nandric, I am trying to be serious again so as not to offend the Copernicans. Clearly, King Philip would bring the arm pod along with him wherever he went water skiing.

Dear Lewm: There are no pictures that I can show yet. When the unit be ready all of you will know and see it through Agon.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

I found a few pictures that give a glimpse of the tonearm, only the headshell area is shown, though. (Thanks Google images!) They are posted on Raul's review of the Audio Technica AT-20SS cartridge. In it he mentions "I mount it in one of my prototype self design tonearms(propietary build materials.)."

Looks promising. Keep up the good work.
