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?

One UK hi-fi community has had more experience with the Amadeus and the words from there is it managed to turn quite a few sceptics into believers despite the mdf material, wacky tonearm and preconceived biases. But i think it will have a much harder time in the US market judging by the reactions so far.

I'm a Raven 1 user and find it very challenging in the look department too. I haven't heard one but i would not dismiss it out of hand as the designer has some track record in the past.
