Just thinking, at one time, I had my brothers Denon, I believe that it was a DP60L... Might be wrong, but I had it for about 2 months doing a few mods, 1 repair and some adjusting, but this table had interchangeable arm tubes... a low mass straight arm and a medium mass s arm... both worked well. At the time, I didn't compare, we exchanged them based on the cartridge.
Curved and Straight Tonearms
Over the last 40 years I have owned 3 turntables. An entry level Dual from the '70's, a Denon DP-52F (which I still use in my office system) and a Rega P3-24 which I currently use in my main system. All of these turntables have had straight tonearms. I am planning on upgrading my Rega in the near future. Having started my research, I have noticed that some well reviewed turntables have curved 'arms. My question: What are the advantages/disadvantages of each, sonic or otherwise? Thanks for any input.
