Need tonearm advice for Clearaudio Innovation Wood

Bdgregory... are you using the Aluminum arm or something else? What cart? Thanks in advance, Steve

mine is an aluminum arm model - it was the stock arm that comes with the Marantz table - which has an improved interconnect cable (I believe) compared to the entry model. I'm using a Benz Glider on mine mounted on a Pink Triangle table - it's wonderful.

I am a VPI dealer and also use a Graham 2.2 and have never heard anyone say that unipiviots need constant tweeking. Maybe the same guys who change the VTA for each record thinks so. Ruin the stylus? Total BS. I had a FR 64, the FX I think, years ago and it was a good arm but no better [ and probably not as good] as the Jelco 750. Some arms are easy to set up; The VPI, Graham and SME are; and some are not; but no arm as a type has a lock on difficulty of assembly and set up. The linear tracking are probably best left to the experenced but ones of any type can be difficult to impossible to work with. I once got a semi-protype arm from England that neither I nor an experenced technition could even assemble; yes we did have the instructions which were written in pencil and were compleatly unintellagable.

Stanwal... thanks once again.

What arm were you talking about when you said this... :)

"Now that you mention it my wife and my tonearm have a lot in common. Both take a lot of maintenance and are fiddly to get just right but the results are well worth it. A great deal of synergy but adjustability and ease of set up? Not so much."
