How many people read Stereophile? Or, in other terms, how many people have ever read stuff written by Fremer? 100,000? 200,000? A million? If I recall correctly there are something like 650,000,000 CD players out there. Many of these owners have ditched their LPs, many even don't have any LPs at all, most of them have never heard of Fremer.That put aside, yes I think that vinyl playback can be improved, but not the mdeium itself. Without all the compromises that had to be made the stereo record would not exist. Period.
However, in order to improve vinyl playback you'd have to use the arms available, CAD, computer simulation, prototyping, perceptional studies, do you think that a manufacturer that produces a niche product for a niche market has means and money to do that?

You think the improvement in turntables and arms in the last 25 years is just a lucky accident -- the old "1 million monkeys + 1 million typewriters= "War and Peace" concept?Regarding the scope of Fremer (or Stereophile's) audience, I suggest that you research the concept of "opinion leader." Then you'll understand. Not that I'm claiming he did it single-handedly.
Please name those manufacturers that use modern tools like the ones I've mentioned.Of course I would expect that modern turntables/tonearms are engineered using modern materials and manufacturing techniques. However it still remains to be seen whether modern stuff is really improved over the not so modern stuff. Without any objective quantification you can't know. Subjective listening is no means to establish that a real improvement has been made, IMO of course.
