Note that I and several other very experienced listeners have independently come to the same conclusion regarding carbon fiber in the vinyl reproduction path. It tends to kill the liveness of real music. Theories involving stiffness, hardness, compliance, damping, and blah blah blah are meaningless compared to actually listening to music. Theory is useful after the fact, to explain what you thought you heard.
General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum
Is it my imagination or is it real? In a very general sense, do Carbon fiber tonearms sound a bit better than the aluminum tubes? I am not sure but if I was a betting man, I would put money on the carbon fiber tubes. Any comments here?
I'd especially like to hear from folks who have had both on their turntables or who have owned both just not at the same time.
Thanks!
