Probably LPs. What difference does it make? Oh no don't tell me... - Garth 10:27:50 09/17/06 (15)
there are "jazz" tonearms and "classic" tonearms and "rock'n'roll" tonearms and on and on?
So now I have to change the tonearm everytime I listen to a different type of music? This is going to get expensive and time consuming.

  Agreed. We get this all the time, however. It is like the person asking owns both tonearms along with every other piece of equipment made. I own neither tonearm, so I can't voice an opinion. I would say, however, that it is possible, or even likely, that the original poster is looking for some qualified impressions of what characteristics each tonearm exhibits. It seems like a fair question to me, and not one that would require a grocery list of other equipment and preferences.
  - What if the info you say you don't need to know is that he's using a ceramic cartridge?...nt - tweakk 11:05:26 09/17/06 (12)
    What if he's asking about speakers but doesn't tell you that he has a .75 watt 45 SET amp? More info about his system the better.
    - Well, - mosin 11:18:35 09/17/06 (5)
      People who have Platine Verdier turntables have good other equipment. It is a no-brainer. It is also a given that he is using a nice cartridge. Do you own either tonearm or a Platine Verdier? If not, how can you possibly give any opinion that remotely resembles a qualified one? You can't.
      That said, one could state an opinion that he has gathered from listening to the pieces, or he could relay subjective information that he may have read elsewhere. If that is the case, it should be pointed out, however.
      That's my 2� on the subject.

        Knowing what he listens to is helpful with cartridge choices. That leads to tonearm recomendations. Knowing the whole system and type of room it's in is better still.
        I never said that I was qualified to discuss either arm. I only asked the poster to provide more information so that anyone could help. Other than my question all other posts are nothing but wise-cracks.
        You said "It's a no brainer" because his TT is expensive. OK. Then just tell the guy that the more expensive arm is the one he should buy. You already know the rest of his system is "good".

        I just saying that he is more qualified to ask the question than you are to nitpick it.

        What did I nitpik? Why is it better not to know anything about the guys system? And ONE MORE TIME...I never said that I would provide the answer to the guys question. And what have you and Garth done so far to help? Zip..zero..nada..

        First, I don't know what a tred is. (How's that for nitpicking?) Second, I apologize for spamming the original poster's thread. All I was trying to do was get you to stop spamming threads with inane nitpicking and unqualified opinions. You and a few others know how to spam up a board. That's for sure.

        And you can tell him that as a result of your vast experience with these two tonearms...assuming you have one of those "nice" cartridges too.
    - Yeah right and he is asking about one of these tonearms. That's like ... - Garth 11:08:35 09/17/06 (5)

  Arm recommendations usually are more helpful if they're paired with a recommended cartridge.
