Those early TAS where the little booklet format, really irritating size.Only the paper magazine - I have the full TAS collection starting with issue one. But now I need reeding glasses to read such small print ...Current digital issues are better in some sense, we just increase font size!
CS port...another contender or ??

drum roll please.....it's all Granite!
if the tops of the motor pod and arm pod are not granite they sure fooled me. they are both dense and heavy and both match the plinth look exactly.
the solid granite plinth weighs 90 pounds, and the stainless steel platter weights 60 pounds. the total weight is 180 pounds.
I had that coming, the granite looking material, is granite !
Nice ! Heavy is good.IMHO the Eminent Technology tonearms outsold all others. I owned a few - decided to sell the last ones from my collection a few weeks ago and they were gone to happy buyers in a few days. We can see different ones coming permanently at the usual used audio sales sites.
The very few used Forsell's for sale are the same since long. I like my Forsell tonearm a lot, but recognize it needs some expertise, the ETs have a great manual and are much more logic to adjust.
Anyway I prefer the strategy of having the arm tube attached to a guide that is pressurized from the inside by a stationary perforated center rod - much less tonearm mass and the COG of the tonearm stays static versus active bearing zone center along the whole LP.
I do prefer the ET type of bearing with high pressure, i use 60psi on my Maplenoll arm, it has a silicone trough in front of the cartridge. Hard to do with a quiet pump placed in the same room
They should pressurize the air bearing with steam. Then Include an espresso attachment. You could listen all night.

You use silicone and pump for your tonearm?
I think it’s an option on the VYGER
And you are supposed to say “Who ?” “Max ?”I’m a big fan of silicone in the right places
Or is that Miss Townsend now?I’m a big fan of silicone in the right places
Not always, sometimes it’s part of the job description
And with the Etsuro Gold cartridge it truly sings! What a pairing!
HOLBO tonearm have the same principe like Versa Dynamics or Rockport. It is true air bearing...
High pressure ? They are all true air bearings.
After looking more at the design, it looks suspiciously like a slim line copy of the Forsell TT in almost every detail.

No pertinent data on your website or any usable information in any of the reviews i could find. What is the air pressure of the arm bearing ?
