hw: i have heard a number of classic direct drives and i still keep coming back to my highly modified (all vpi parts) tnt6 rim drive. i just found one of your old jmw-12 tonearms and decided to try it in place of the sme4 that it came with. sme4 anyone? i think this beast competes with some of the best including the teres i have heard.

You are correct, the rim drive is phenomenal, I love and stll use one of them. Too many customer problems though as it was beyond the setup capabilities of a lot of customers and dealers. It will return in the Classic 4 though sometime this year in a simplified version with a three phase AC motor and a dedicated speed control. But, it will not be better than your TNT-6 Rim Drive!!
You should try the 3D arm, it is breathtaking in its nuetrality and low level reproduction.

going to axpona later this month, hope to hear and see one there. i am sure that even if you aren't there others will be using your gear. also have super platter on mine (perfectly round), outer ring, center weight and ginko ball feet. sitting on srs platform. i was blown away at how good that old version of the 12 inch arm was, at least with the delos i am using. i thought i would have to go back and forth to hear much difference. not so, not even going back once. waste of time. if the 3d is better than that, well, i don't know what i will do, just have to save the pennies as it costs almost as much by itself as i paid for the unit with the sme. help me harry, can i come sweep floors or something?

Contact us after shows, there is always something we or someone else used and has become "B" stock because it is not new anymore.
