Austria is home to more than great skiing!
Alexey Korf and I recently learned that we're secret admirers of each other.
His innovative approach and use of materials bring wonderful analog instruments to lovers of vinyl playback.
We'll have much more to say about his designs in the coming days, but in the meantime, you can gain some insight into his thought process by clicking on the photo to link to his blog.
Part of what attracted me to Korf is his full-on transparency. Korf gives you a peek behind the curtain - into his failures as well as his successes.
It's all too rare in audio, for this sort of thing and Korf is a breath of fresh air.

TA-AF 9/10 - $3,495
The flagship model AF comes in 9 and 10 inch lengths.
With an aluminum ceramic arm tube, it's twice as strong as steel, 4 times as strong as titanium, and 6 times the strength of aluminum.
Internal wiring is one of our favorites: Cardas Clear Litz.
To date, the two best arm cable configurations we've experienced are:
- Cardas Clear internal wiring combined with our Wind River, litz tonearm cable
- Schröder's straight run of cryo treated litz (from cartridge clips to RCAs).
This man has taste!
Bearings are aerospace grade flexure bearings.
Yes, we know ... the proof is in the listening.
