I then have the developer demonstrate how he "tilts" the mounting plate to ensure that no lateral forces are acting on the cantilever and it reaches a centered position under the cartridge body. The setting is no different from the one I had found before: You really don't need to be an analogue specialist with years of experience to get the TA01 performing in excellence. Of course, the visually very appealing, well-made instruction manual also plays a part in this. Since Helmut Thiele has no sonically reasoned objections against the analogue source and also the rest of my system, we have time to play each other a few of our favourite records: The creator, of course, does not travel to such an appointment without some meaningful records of his own. Despite enjoying the music, we now and then insert a chat about Helmut Thiele's (hi-fi) career and the constructive characteristics of his tonearm: What a pleasant day this is, full of stimulating conversation and musical delight! I am already looking forward to a visit to the Duisburg based manufactory.
