TBrennan Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Spkrdctr----Perhaps the outfits still making Alnico drivers are going for the cult factor, the snob factor as KT said. Note that many of the outfits---ALE, TAD, Goto, Onken, Fostex---are Japanese and the Japanese have some ideas of their own on what sounds good and why. And are no doubt just as prone to delusion as American audiophiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 For a while, at least, cobalt was too expensive. Aluminum and nickel prices may noy have changed as much. Alnico is hard to machine, but the ceramics are so easy either. Always the cult factor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
