SUPATRAC Blackbird Tonearm

Nigerian time means things are taking longer than thought. No fault just both sides dragging their feet.

Paul is a genius with a commensurate demeanour.

I run at a snails pace when completing projects.

Kindest regards,G.

Hi G, i guess i’m still confused (not by Nigerian time - sadly i understand that all too well, sometimes doing business in Kano and Lagos). I thought it was UK Paul doing the comparison….

UK Paul builds the plinths then I do the comparison here.

Kindest regards,G.

Thanks for the explanation…i wasn’t following who did what! Anyway, looking forward to the comparison. When it happens.

Blackbird with a Decca London Super Gold. There is also a long thread on https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/supatrac-blackbird-tone-arm.1088949/page-2

Richard answers a lot of questions about his tonearm.

I run the same combo also on a modded Lenco.

Hi, I have occasionally browsed & posted here over several years 7 this blog caught my eye as a keen user & blogger on Under Hang arms.

I have made a Surpa 9'' clone, so it will be very interesting to hear the comparison.
It also will greatly depend on the MC cart you use. the Supra is super fast, whereas, although I have not heard the V/Labs it a smoother sounding arm more like the Schroeder sound. i have also done a clone of that arm & played it in the Under Hang alignment. It sounded extremely good & had no problem playing across the tracks of multiple LP's.
But it was impossible to compare the two as they have to totally different ends goals

Do you want to drive a turbo charged rally car or a electric car with a 1000km range.

Difficult choice, have fun

Cheers Derek
