Dear Halcro: I posted that we all are cautive and " victims " of the AHEE. Here an example where you were one more of those AHEE " victims ":
DaVinci Grandezza tonearm: you are a proudly owner of this tonearm. What's plain wrong with this design?
IMHO that the designers wanted that the star be the tonearm and not the other way around with the cartridge. In those times maybe they did not have very clear that a tonearm design main and whole target is to fulfill the cartridge needs.
Well, the original design that you own? does not permit azymuth changes according cartridge needs an according LP playback needs.
As you several audiophiles bought it and invest big dollars for it. Whom cares? no one of the owners because almost all were proudly to own that expensive and golden shiny tonearm.
All of us have to pay a very high price to learn outside the AHEE to can grow up in favor of MUSIC playback.
DaVinci manufacturer finally learned and after a while they designed a tonearm with azymuth mechanism and not only that but with a removable headhsell!!!!! when they were against both tonearm characteristics.
I know that like them you learned too but you are still an AHEE " victim " and there are several main and critical audio subjects where you are not willing to change and are " paying " the price listening day by day inferior quality MUSIC playback.
In some ways all of us are still looking the Eart as a flat " land " and we are ( almost ) satisfied with and that's why gentlemans like Atmasphere, you and several other ones still recomend:
" use your ears to decide. What you like it is the way to go " and this Earth flat subject is one of the main problems that the AHEE support any single day and why they support it?:
because mantaining on the ignorance side we the customers they can mantain us cautives and with out problems.
If we are ignorants we just don't ask for more.
What happen with the Timeline? started a " revolution " in the audiophile side. Everyone started almost for the first time if the TT we own was and is achieving the main TT design: speed and speed stability and this sole subject right now is a " problem " for the AHEE.
What if each single audiophile start to ask that the amplifier output impedance must match the speakers impedance curve to buy any amplifier?
what if each one audiophile start to ask no more SUTs in the phono stages to buy it?
what if each one audiophile start to ask for flat surface LP and perfect LP center hole to buy it?
what if....? what if.... ?
Can you figure what could happen inside the AHEE? and outside too?
IMHO that's the audio world where we all belongs.
Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
