td-01 chinese tonearm?

This TD-01 tonearm seems like a hybrid between a Schroder am and a Well-Tempered arm. I like its simplicity. I would like the string to be shorter and the tie point to be at the center of the ceramic ball - the golf ball in the WTA is the same idea.

Never heard of the sound so I'm curious, too.

I haven't seen one either. One thing that I would be concerned about is, the stylus always has a different pull/drag on it. With that issue, the arm may move some, causing problems. Hopefully, someone like Stereophile will test one then we'll know more.

where do you think the string goes after it leaves the top of the tonearm. I assume it is attached to the ceramic ball, and that the weight of the arm holds the ball into its oil dampened socket and the string is just used to keep the arm aligned from side to side so it doesnt just fall over. But is that string tied off somewhere, and is the allen bolt on top adjustable to tighten the string?

A nice looking arm, and very simple. Just wonder how it sounds.
