“A new deck alone won’t deliver true performance—because the limiting factor is often the tonearm.”

The clarity and definition of the sound, how the stage is painted, how the subtle nuances are extracted - IT IS JUST AMAZING. - This upgrade is worth every cent I invested. Thank you!!! - (He’s happy… I’m happy)

Houdini’s magic – It isn’t just High End. Budget arms get the greatest benefit. Even if the industry changed tomorrow morning and every new arm was a good arm, we’re still left with literally millions of good budget decks but with fixed “S” shaped arms that can’t be adjusted – They’re encouraging you to buy a new deck. But Houdini is 6mm thick. How to mount it, or change cartridges, or use thicker mats? Funk’s clever Cobra headshell. It fits Houdini, and it has VTA built in, thereby allowing the cartridge to be adjusted. Your lowly, budget deck with its fixed, resonant arm has just morphed: It is now pretty high end.

The Problem: Your Arm is Sabotaging Your Sound

Even the finest turntables suffer from a fundamental weakness - tonearm vibrations that travel directly to your cartridge, masking musical detail and reducing clarity. These unwanted vibrations create a barrier between you and the master tape sound you're seeking.
