Cartridge Cantilever - Nano-Tube Technology

Recently I was to accept Carbon Fibre as a Material to 3D Print a Wand and other Parts as exchange parts for a owned Tonearm. 

After having discussed the methodology for the Printing and how it was to be a viable alternative to metal,, I became further interested in CF usage for other applications. 

I learnt it is used as a Cantilever Material which was first introduced approximately 20 Years ago.

Fast Track forward to the current period and their is one Cartridge Company using Carbon Fibre Nano-Tube as the Cantilever Material (CFN-T). 

CFN-T are a rave as a Technology and adopting the 1 micron thick Graphene Sheet to become other forms is where the industry is at. 

The intrinsic properties of these newly created structures are proving extremely attractive as replacement for older forms. 

The success of CFN-T has now led to both Beryllium and Boron being a produced Nano-Tube. 

The weight/stiffness of the Nano-Tube is extremely attractive over Rod and older Splutter Produced Tubes. 

In relation to the Phono Cartridge it does seem there is a New Direction for rare metal materials being used as a Cantiver,  The Nano-Tube is much increased in sustainability for these rare metal  materials and as a design for a Cantilever will most likely prove itself as a worthy alternative to designs in use for the past 40ish years. 

I am clear page book on this Subject and more than willing to be introduced to the thoughts of others who have an interest in these materials and the suggested application.
