I’ve heard one of these a couple of times at European shows & both times it was deeply impressive. Not sure why it works as well as it does.

Looks nice. Assume it is quite spendy?

Morsiani always seems like a hobbyist, very small scale operation albeit with some very good ideas which seem to work. The tonearm, for example, has anti-skate whose strength decreases as cartridge moves towards the centre of the record (as it should). But there’s a handbuilt, home made feel to it which has some charm too. I’ve never asked about prices.

Yep, at 1’20" there is a pronounced oscillation of the whole arm/cart in the groove and at 3’20" there is obvious evidence that there is a bicycle inner tube involved in the construction.
Typically vinyl working despite of inaccuracies or mundane solutions!
