RE: How much does an armwand cost?
Posted by rlindsa on June 13, 2017 at 09:11:27:
As I recall, about $1000 (yeah, not cheap!). I got mine through Elusive Disc or MusicDirect or one of those places. Mine is NOT the 3D version, but the Classic version.
Sure is convenient though! I can go from stereo to "true mono" in about 10 seconds! I do notice a difference between the mono cartridge and a stereo cartridge with the "mono" (or in my case "sum") switch engaged. Others believe there is no difference. For a REAL mono experience, shut off one channel and listen out of one speaker only!
I think it was George Harrison who said (upon seeing 2 speakers in the Apple Studios), "Why the hell would anyone need more than one speaker?"
