Further in that same issue of TAS there is a full review (sorry, I didn't see it before I posted.) Apparently the arm is attached to the top of the ball - they don't specify the brand - and then the ball is floated in a cup of damping fluid. They gave it an excellent review, but jeez, that looks like the hi-fi equivalent of duct tape. They couldn't have even painted it? It's actually kind of a cool idea that looks like it was executed in the garage.
Well-Tempered Golf Ball?
In this month's TAS they describe the Well-Tempered Amadeus as follows: "tonearm is suspended from fishing line (which I've seen and understand) and damped with a golf ball."
Can someone explain this golf ball? Are we talking a Titleist here or merely something that reminds the author of a golf ball?
