This hit my inbox yesterday and I was dying laughing... it helps to know Thomas and his humor... super funny dude... and you never expect it.. it just comes out of nowhere...
I have known Thomas for more than a decade.. back when his tonearm was just a DIY project for himself... a few ideas he wanted to try... (sounds familiar, huh?).. and all of these years later, I am proud to use his tonearms very often... here is the always musical and yet so simple system that I use at the warehouse:
the tonearm has easy and obvious adjustments... clean lines... you just add an autoformer and phono stage... front end done! so simple... and then you just play records...
and now we are a dealer... previously I have only told existing customers, just because they know that Thomas and I are friends... but I should really tell the world as they are not just insanely good for the money, but actually insanely good... contact me if you want to listen to one or get more information... here is his standard blurb:
___________________________
The tonearm is available in three finishes to choose from:
gold
silver (nickel + palladium, matte finish)
black (black chrome, matte finish)
There is a 12 inch version available as well as a shorter 9 inch (9,6inch).
The shorter version is a drop in replacement for EMT record players as well.
The price is 1499 Euro plus shipping about 25 Euro as insured letter.
A second, heavier weight for SPU and other heavy cartridges costs 45 Euros on top, if ordered together with a tonearm.
If you choose it as a single heavy weight there is no extra cost.
The tonearm includes a lift and arm bench.
All tonearms are equipped with an antiskating mechanism.
The arm has a 5 pin tonearm connector made by me. it consists of Teflon isolation and electronic test pins.
Else, you can choose a fixed tonearm cable, with lowest resistance and capacitance, symmetrical cable with Neutrik RCA plugs.
The cable is 1,1m long.
All tonearms are equipped with an antiskating mechanism.
The tonearm is suitable for any cartridge from about 6 Gramm and a compliance value of below 20 µm/mN (22 for the 9 inch version).
That includes most cartridges on the market, excluded are only lightweight and very soft MM systems.
A headshell is not included. I recommend to use my graphite headshell for 249 Euros.

Without you discussing his sense of humor, it would be really hard to place into the correct context.
