New $35K pivoting tonearm


Vertere Audio is Touraj Moghaddam cofounder of Roksan.

It has some interesting features including aligning the pivots to the offset angle rather than the arm tube, and bearings that don't rotate, made out of polymer-metal laminate film. Has 240mm effective length.

19.5 K for the Durand " TELOS" WOOD tonearm. This audio bargain of the century has a NEW updated arm wand . It is now made from a mystery blend of composites (plastics) NOT wood! Cost for this upgrade is only 6K!


A wood Arm is never wasted, you can still use it to light up your fireplace.
