It was still the result of the short time test, but I felt the sound wassplendid.Lower background-noise, wide and deep sound-stage, particularlythe sonority is very natural and clear.(original mail from Mr.T. Japan)_______________________________________________________ Good morning Alfred, Well, yesterday I mounted your arm on the plinth with the SPU Meister Silver. Mounting was a breeze using my tool for determining the spindle to pivot distance. Using the dual counterweight it is also very easy to tune for optimal stylus pressure, at least far more easy than when using one counterweight. So that is a practical plus for the dual counterweights above the ability for mounting less heavy cartridges as well.I asked you before how your tonearm would compare to the Schick and you were modest. No need to! It is so much better than the Schick when using the heavy SPU.. really, it performs better on from low up to the high frequencies. I have been listening, or actually rediscovering, lots of records sinds yesterday afternoon. I always found that the SPU had at some records a bit of harsh highs but these are completely gone now. So that must have been the combination with the Schick, is my guess. Resonances are way better suppressed now and I do believe that the heavy and sturdy construction does not allow for any other movement of the cartridge/needle than lateral movement.I bow deep for your expertise as that must be the basis of the reconstructed Ortofon! We are really impressed here! My suggestion is that I buy two more arms from you. So I keep the one that is on my turntable now and you send over two complete tonearms. These two consist of the one that you customised for me and another one.I want to replace the Schick with a second AB309 and the third will be for a friend who started dancing in my room when he heard your tonearm..So all together:1. I will keep the tonearm I currently have. This one will go to my friend as he likes the J-shaped armtube.2. The customised arm by you, complete with mounting stuff and counterweights, will replace the one that will go to my friend.3. The third tonearm will replace the Schick tonearm on my plinth. So that is a whole new arm.DHT Rob Netherland 02/12/2018 pictures received from satisfied customers IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED,MONEY BACK GUARANTEE***************************************

the banana armtube suppresses the unwanted resonance more as the straight armtube. I never make recommendations myself, as everything is subjective. But I do give the feedback I get from my customers about my tonearms. A professional customer from Austria who has both types of arms of mine wrote that the banana a lot Sounds better. here the feedback What threw my friend completely off track, however, is the tonal gain of the banana over the straight tonearm. It has x times compared to the straight 12 inches, which it also has. He thinks that the homogeneous curve is what counts (compared to the straight one)! He was able to describe the differences exactly and somehow seems to have a very positive effect on the representation of the instruments in the room. Hes definitely thrilled! It is of course possible that you can only hear this on your system (with a self-developed tube phono). However, his developments are - as already mentioned - at the very highest level. I also believe that otherwise you wont get that even for a lot of money! Due to the deformation of the arm tube and the material, the banana shape suppresses little more unwanted resonances,that was also the reason for the banana shape of the EMT 997 tonearm_______________________________________________________________________ world ORTOFON products reach legendary status.

The tonearm is piece of beauty and perfect enginered for music reproduction. The classical records sound heavenly good and Jazz albums never as intimate. The severe wrapped records do never miss the track. The bass response is clean and solid. Great. Thanks for your patience with my issues and I am very grateful for send me another cable. Happy new year Afectuosamente Ignacio Enviado desde mi iPhone (email from 28.12.2016)Hi Alfred Just letting you know that the tonearm arrived safe and sound.I have installed it on a 16 broadcast turntable and it sounds great (and looks good as well). Thank you very much. Wolfgang (email from 30.12.2016) Hello Alfred, I have been wanting to tell you that I have been enjoying your tonearm so very much ! The set up was easy, thank you for the template and alignment tool, it is very precise. The quality of the tonearm is excellent, of course, and I have already found the split counterweight very useful. I have been trying the arm with a Denon 103 and an Ikeda 9C cartridge, and both sound wonderful. The Ikeda requires much more attention to alignments, and your tonearm makes that very simple. It is also nice to have the anti skate adjustment too, which helps a lot with the ikeda. More than anything, Im enjoying music, which is more important than any technicalities. I will send you photos soon of my turntable setup so you may see everything in its happy state. My turntable is a Garrard 401. With many thanks again, in gratitude for your fine work and dedication, S.M New York 17.Sept. 2014 Hallo Alfred, es ist vollbracht. In ca. 3 Tagen habe ich die Zarge für den Neuen aufgebaut.Die ersten Platten drehen sich seit gestern auf dem Ortofon-Bokrand Sp-15.Schon erstaunlich was da aus meinen Eckhörnern kommt.Ich kann ihn nur mit meinem EMT 948 vergleichen mit dem ich seit ca. 1 Jahr sehr intensiv höre.Ich hab das Gefühl, dass das Gespann des Neuen sehr nahe an Perfektion ist und das für ca. 1/3 des Preises des 948!Vielen Dank für deine tolle Arbeit an dem Tonarm! Thomas K.(Germany) 28.12.2012 ORTOFON 12 long with TECHNICS SP-15 from Thomas K. Hi Alfred. I have been using this tone arm with my Garrard 301 / mono Ortofon Spu cartridge. It sounds absolutely superb. I must congratulate you on your fine work. Have you had a chance to post the Ortofon Head shell yet? I am looking forward to using this with my Shure V15mxr cartridge. Many thanks. John ----- Original Message -----Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 6:23 PM Subject: AW: Re: Ortofon Tone Arm Dear Alfred I have finally set up the tonearm and listened to LPs with it. I have to say that it is better than some of my other arms, possibly because of the strong arm tube.(FROM FSK HONG KONG)Hi Alfred, Glad to tell you that I have received and installed the tonearm after some hard work. Sound is great ! Still take some time for the cartridge to break-in but the tracking ability is extraordinary which allows any music to sing beautifully. Otherwise, it seems perfect to me. Thank you for your help ! Hi Alfred, The system actually sounds better and better from day to day. Impressive particular for old LPs. While writing to you, I am listening to the original Moon River of Andy William. The Exdous Song has never sound so good before - Superb !(Original text email from Japan)Dear Alfred I have at last set up your arm and can now give you an early impression of the sound. Beautifully balanced throughout the frequency range, no irritating frequencies stand out. Air and focus are superb. It is very musical with excellent pitch. Tonal range is very even handed and smooth. However the overall feeling is best summed up by saying that it sounds right in particular piano takes on the feel of one you have grown to recognise from your days in school plays.(Original text of the email from UK)---------------------------------------------------------------------Hello Alfred, I received the new cable yesterday afternoon.Thank you very much for your fast and kindly support.At last, I was able to listen to the sound of your special tonearm. WOW ! Excellent !! I love it.I always use DENON DL103-LC2(?? as a standard cartridgetesting the change of the sound. It was still the result of the short time test, but I felt the sound wassplendid.Lower background-noise, wide and deep sound-stage, particularlythe sonority is very natural and clear.(original mail from Mr.T. Japan)_______________________________________________________ Good morning Alfred, Well, yesterday I mounted your arm on the plinth with the SPU Meister Silver. Mounting was a breeze using my tool for determining the spindle to pivot distance. Using the dual counterweight it is also very easy to tune for optimal stylus pressure, at least far more easy than when using one counterweight. So that is a practical plus for the dual counterweights above the ability for mounting less heavy cartridges as well.I asked you before how your tonearm would compare to the Schick and you were modest. No need to! It is so much better than the Schick when using the heavy SPU.. really, it performs better on from low up to the high frequencies. I have been listening, or actually rediscovering, lots of records sinds yesterday afternoon. I always found that the SPU had at some records a bit of harsh highs but these are completely gone now. So that must have been the combination with the Schick, is my guess. Resonances are way better suppressed now and I do believe that the heavy and sturdy construction does not allow for any other movement of the cartridge/needle than lateral movement.I bow deep for your expertise as that must be the basis of the reconstructed Ortofon! We are really impressed here! My suggestion is that I buy two more arms from you. So I keep the one that is on my turntable now and you send over two complete tonearms. These two consist of the one that you customised for me and another one.I want to replace the Schick with a second AB309 and the third will be for a friend who started dancing in my room when he heard your tonearm..So all together:1. I will keep the tonearm I currently have. This one will go to my friend as he likes the J-shaped armtube.2. The customised arm by you, complete with mounting stuff and counterweights, will replace the one that will go to my friend.3. The third tonearm will replace the Schick tonearm on my plinth. So that is a whole new arm.DHT Rob Netherland 02/12/2018 pictures received from satisfied customers ABOUT ME AND MY BACKGROUND I AM 73 YEARS AND LIVE 31 YEARS IN SPAINI AM GERMAN BROADCAST ENGINEER (RADIO+TV)AND THIS IS MY HOBBY.I AM ANALOG HI-FI AND VINYL ENTHUSIAST ALL WHAT YOU GET FROM ME IS PROFESSIONALTESTED AND COMES IN PERFECT CONDITIONTHEREFORE:IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED,MONEY BACK GUARANTEE***************************************

This is mathematics and is based on formulas that have absolutely nothing to do with materials. With existing PC calculation programs, anyone can see if their tonearm has the least distortion due to the armtube geometry.

Its a ridiculous bargain for the £500 or so hes charging for it. This 301 has a very special tonearm. It was made by Alfred Bokrand from an Ortofon AS-212 on which he has placed a 12? wand.

Brass has a very narrow resonance curve (compared to e.g. aluminium), which speaks for high quality, low damping and thus its suitability for building bells or similar. From the relationship between the length of the rod and the wavelength, it is very easy to calculate the speed of sound in the respective substance (a few thousand meters per second in the case of metals) in the case of resonance.
