Yup, Luke warm review, IMO. The AF1 is not moving over....
His biggest complaint was the arm.

Like I said earlier, I'll take the AF1 anytime.
I always seem to get my copy of Stereophile a couple days after you for some reason.
Maybe the mailman is reading it first.

If he's an audiophile, maybe you can get him to come to our meetings!!

Seems a lot of postpersons are audiophiles
Funny, my LBC forwarder in HI is an audiophile. LP hoarder with 2 Micro Seikis and 2 Linn Sondecks
Well, I finally got to read the Thales TTT Compact/ Simplicity review in Stereophile. Mikey was not impressed with the Simplicity arm. Sounds like there were multiple issues. The cartridge setup precision was difficult to near impossible to achieve because of the poorly designed jig that comes with it. He broke one of his carts during setup. He also found that it had too much friction in the bearings. This design also still has skating forces to deal with as well.
The Schroder LT tonearm design seems to solve allot of problems the Simplicity has.

He should try the TD COI cart.
Unfortunately, Han (the AFO distributor in Singapore/Malaysia) was late to the party and didn't get an allocation for the first batch. So, the Malaysians are still waiting their turn. Did you get yours already? I'd be curious what it sounds like.
We were part of the first run so we were able to get 2 of them. Nice Gary, VERY Nice. It's got that delicate to dynamic thang going.

Gary is right. When the TD CO1 arrives, we'll definitely give it a try.
The ZYX was very lively and dynamic. The Europeans may prefer the Jan Allaerts sound, being more laid back and more mellow.
