Very similar to what I was playing 78s on when I was a nipper. [IMG]
Review from Hifistatement (in English): The Thiele TA01 Tonearm
first thing to do was to replace the v-blocks, sry, no photo.
Having finished the MyTechnics project and gained experiences in rewiring the Rega and Linn tonearms I was triggered to reuse the leftover parts of the Technics SL-5210 tonearm. Of course I aimed for something special. A tonearm addicted to greatness and the potential of a giant-killer. In other words "TheKiller". 12" tonearms are regarded as the battleships within their class, separating the men from the boys. Their increase length allows for lower distortions if the geometry and setup is done right. The pickups must be mounted with considerable more care to profit from possible benefits. Especially sharp-edged needles require exact adjustments, the more so when mounted in a 12"er. But don´t let Yourself become offset by this from trying a 12" tonearm.

An unconventional tonearm indeed, Dr. Hedgebeth's Sonority Tonearm deserves a review, the first for a world premiere.
Arko is an original, high-performance tonearm, and Linn's first entirely new model since 2006. Rigid in construction and fluid of motion, great effort was taken during this tonearm’s development to ensure that it retains both fundamental simplicity and superlative performance. To produce Arko, Linn have made leaps and taken strides with every element of gimballed tonearm design, manufacture and aesthetic. It consists of both machined and high-precision, colddrawn parts, in order to improve audio performance and engineering tolerances. Arko boasts greatly improved rigidity, precision and coupling throughout the arm wand assembly, thanks to machined 7075-grade aluminium specified throughout; and the ultra-stable gimbal platform facilitates superb bearing concentricity and alignment. Materials Special care and effort was taken to ensure that 7075-grade aluminium would be used exclusively throughout the arm – from headshell to gimbal – with the resultant material synergy and coupling effectively banishing undesirable resonances away from the delicate generator, and out through the sub-chassis. Marry Arko to its partner cartridge, Kendo, and this synergy is improved yet further with superior dissipation of resonance along the tonearm system. Headshell The headshell is machined from 7075-grade aluminium for enhanced strength and stiffness. It features increased overall length with elongated slots to render Arko compatible with an exhaustive list of cartridges of all shapes and sizes. Arm Wand & Gimbal The arm tube is high-precision, cold-drawn 7075 aluminium. It is extremely stiff, and is produced to exceedingly high tolerances. The arm wand assembly is held in place by a single, stainless-steel through-spindle, with an enlarged, machined aluminium gimbal. Finish In lieu of a powder coat finish, for Arko Linn have both improved performance and elevated its aesthetic appeal with a vapour-blasted ‘raw’ finish. Utilising their new, in-house, wet blast cabinet, they were able to produce a clean, congruous, and premium finish. Movement Arko, being of gimballed design, possesses greater inherent stability and rigidity than alternatives like unipivots. This results in an improved sense of depth, impact and emotion. The structural support and inherent rigidity of the gimbal have been increased relative to Linn's previous tonearms. This improves bearing alignment and overall fluidity of the arm’s movement. The use of multiple, individual journals in vertical bearing assembly design has been known to cause issues with concentricity, alignment and stability. With Arko, Linn have addressed this with a single, polished stainless-steel through-spindle. The resulting improvement in alignment allows the arm wand increased agility, ensuring its tracking over the record surface with zero hindrance. A fresh counterweight design delivers exceptional stability. It features rubber ‘O’-rings to aid effective dissipation of vibrations. The arm wand’s agility is improved with weight-reduction pockets machined into the headshell resulting in reduced overall moving mass.

Depending on when you start the counting, last year marked the 50th anniversary of the SME 3009 tonearm. Ignoring both xenophobia on the part of the British and envy on the part of everyone else, it remains the most successful high-end tonearm of all time, and is the template for superior “universal” tonearms able to [...]
Because Schroeder Tonearm IS made of wood (and aluminum, bronze...). We may ask Great Mr. Schroeder that question, but that might be already explained...

From quite a few years ago, this was my version of a Uni-pivot tonearm design by the late Dave Whittaker, creator of the Aura Turntable. Dave knew that wood would provide good damping - he chose to use lightweight Balsa wood. He thought also that the open truss structure would be low in resonances. He told me that he was inspired by the structure…
Vertere stunned the world with its astonishingly resolute and alarmingly expensive Reference Tonearm last year, this year its creator Touraj Moghaddam has
This is a DIY linear traking tonearm that is powered by low pressure air and a medical or aquarium pump. The product is silent and runs smoothly on a precision-crafted and balanced unibody aluminum linear shaft (6001). The product is suitable for all MM&MC cartridges, mounted on any LP turntable. A simple and sound-efficient setup in comparison to other traditional products. Please ask if you have any [email protected]
