RE: looking past the obvious things...., like price....

I was struck by the fact that the three or so tonearms that this one blew away, when mounted on the Tech Das, are not exactly world beaters compared to the rest of the best of the current crop. For example, he mentioned the Graham 2.2; most Graham users say that the Phantom and Phantom 2 are way superior to it. Before spending $35K on the Vertere, I would want to know how it compares to the latest version of the Phantom, the various Durand tonearms, the Grandezza, the Schroeder LT, and a few others which all cost half or less than half as much. However, I am not one to condemn a product just because it is expensive. The Vertere may well be better than all the rest, for all I know.

Axiom was another contender I forgot to mention above.
