ugly looking thing tho' and Im not sure its a 'ground up' new design or has proprietary engineering (ie what's the motor etc)....

right now, I aspire to own and use:

Timestep tonearm
The new Glanz


I'd like to test run:

the top SAT - I need to understand why it costs what it does

great photos on this thread - the Munich show is amazing......lots of terrible bling as well


I watched the newly uploaded ‘Analog planet’ turntables walkthrough on you tube….always a great job...

yes, impressive engineering. Im sure it will find a welcoming market....

I expect the cost to be around 300,000+ quid without tonearms or 'upgraded' platter.....:eyebrows:

I subscribe to Earspace, quite refreshing IMHO.

Im not a fan of AV showreports

I like Analogplanet

Lots of guff on YT.

Unboxing, tours of manufactures, walkthroughs of systems/rooms also...

hi marco, I'm well thank you and hope to post more here....always enjoy this forum...now I'm off to listen to some musique :)

I have one of these topping VX1's, beautifully made, sounds good as well.

I like aspirational items. Munich is the finest Hifi Show and I enjoy the coverage.

Am especially drooling over the new K-tell spartacus turntable (the one with triple counter rotational...

Mick told me that just before he left GB tools (they went out of business not long after), they had made 'around' 20 'ZETA Signature' tonearms - these were all in various states of completion and...

I had a long discussion with Mick at the weekend, we did chat about this. He doesnt recall GB making any 'Heybrook' arms,although they did do work for Mission (774).



:)

interestingly, the original Zeta prototypes were developed and listened to using an LP12 -Mick discarded this (he gave it to his daughter -who still uses it...) when he realised the Sondek wasnt up...

Mick admired the sensible quality engineering of the breuer - as for using the GB clamp in one - probably not as it may not fit the head shell....

I will do. The zeta is one of the greatest tonearms - its form is still being copied today - testament to its fundamental quality :)

Like many tool makers and engineering shops, GB did do some Audio contract work -but not sure about the heybrook arm though although Its possible. Im seeing Mick at the weekend so will ask him.

...

Back when the Mechanic Arm was a Mission 'product', Mick developed a high mass turntable using two motors and weighing 100kg ( a bit like an Acoustic Solid/Signature)...Mission weren't really...

This is true. Michael Gray -the Zeta designer (at GB tools - now defunct) was/is a decca fan .. The zeta was developed using Deccas and the GB clamp was Michael's design as well.....He went on to...
