Goldmund Studio - still relevant today?

In order to understand the design philosophy of those Goldmunds

one need to read about Pierre Lurne . Lurne is physicist who got

involved in our hobby as we deed: ''pure passion''.

After his work for Goldmund he started his own company called

''Audiomeca''. I owned the Audiomeca J1 which was for me a

kind of revelation after Linn LP 12. I hope I will not get a reprimand

from Lew, who, for some reasons, dislike Lurne. Strange in some

sense because both admire Newton. Anyway all involved parameters

in his designs are based on Newton. Even those ''beefies springs''

Fleib has ever seen. In search for even a better TT I moved to

Kuzma Stabi Reference which, to my big surprice, looked like

a copy of the Audiomeca J1.

Harold, You obviously misinterprete tonykay's comment. As you

deed with my complaint about my cart which you borrowed and

destroyd with your ''perfect linear tracker''. You refused any

responsibility for the damage you made in my case as you refuse

any responsibility for your comments on TT's about which you

know nothing. You are a kind of second hand Raul as far as I

am concerned. The other members will discovere this sooner or

later but anyway for sure.

Dear Fleib, I am not a technical guy able to judge about Lurne's

theories. But as a real scientist he published his design philosohpy

available for anyone for possible comments. BTW there were more

''donnas'' which I could not afford and this certainly apply for his

''Belladonna'' . But he is a very nice person with whom I exchanged

some emails. I asked for a separate armbase for his AudiomecaJ1

but he was not able to find one despite his convinction that he

must have those ''somehwere''. Back then he was working on his

''Belladonna''.

Harold, Anyone interested in the ''real truth'' can get the pictures

I made after you returned my cart. The cantilever was so damaged

that using such cart was impossible. In addition the stylus was missing . As prove I have two bills from Axel's retips. The first just

before I posted the cart to you, the second after you returned the

cart to me. You need to explain how you succeeded to listen to

this cart which was, according to you ''deliberate damaged'' by

me beforhand in order to get your money. Your leanear tracker

must be an wonder able to track a cart without stylus and crooked

cantilever. BTW I own many carts and have lend many to other

forum members even an whole series carts . I had no reason to

complain about any of them. You are privileged in this sense.

There is however some comfort for me in the fact that this cart

was my cheapest MC cart. My advice to you is to never write

to many sentences. The more you write the more contradictions

between them may occure. As is the case with your ''defense''.

Harold, The plastic box in which my cart was posted is the box

with Axel's marks. Aka the same box which Axel uses for years

to post his repaired carts. The box has foam layers such that

the cart can't move. Your complaint that the cart was damaged

in transport because of my wrong packaging is not consistent with

your listening result. As you stated: ''excelent sound quality with

60 LP records''. Extraordinary result with an cart damaged because

of my bad packing? BTW not all (MC) carts have stylus protector.

But as I mentioned the stylus was also missing . Probaly stolen

by some postman involved by transport of your packet to my

 home in Holland (sic!) Strange because in 40 years that I live

in Holland I never missed any packet nor the robbed one.

Anyway this was the reason to post the cart again to Axel who retiped the cart with the same stylus (fine line) pressure fitted in aluminum alloy cantilever. For the same price of 250 euro as

 the first retip.

I am A'gon member since 2007 and wrote 2507 contributions

in this forum. I never accused any member about any wrong

doing all this time. You are the only one . So in this sense you

are surely special. I don't even believe that we have had any

 dispute about any cart or other component.  But our present

dispute will be valued by the members according to your and

my arguments. Besides I lend you one of my carts without any

obligation from your side. The only reason being to hear your

opinion. My comrad Don was very impressed by this cart so

I wanted to hear some other's opinion. I got this cart destroyed

back from you and you want my opology???  My Gosh! You

should consult some specialist for such cases.
