New $35K pivoting tonearm

Vertere Audio is Touraj Moghaddam cofounder of Roksan.

It has some interesting features including aligning the pivots to the offset angle rather than the arm tube, and bearings that don't rotate, made out of polymer-metal laminate film. Has 240mm effective length.

This came up on Audio Circle and somebody said it sounds good. I certainly hope so. Anybody else?

...chasing, changing, migrating, pixy dust, alchemical hope. The poor designer appears to fall under, "stress is the artifact of an inappropriate model." Maybe, the problem lies not with the design itself, but with the platform, aka "model," that supports this arm during the tuning-in phase...as the reseller of this platform has been known to say, "designed by west coast grads, etc.".

Cheers!

Frank Schroder is using a composite arm for his new Linear Tracking arm. His old arms used to be wood also.

Will the Telea II model switch over to composite as well?

Unoear, are you referring to the DD platform that Jtinn is selling? I imagine the new arms were developed in part on that same platform, the Wave Kinetics table.

I recall that a very rare Air Tangent arm allowed for remotely controlled VTA. I never heard of azimuth being adjustable that way. Kuzma had an arm pillar with a digital readout that made it easy to adjust the arm up or down and get back to a prior adjustment (just remember the number), but, actual adjustment was not by remote control.
You are referring to the VTA arm tower for the Stabi XL turntables which has a gauge with a round dial.
