TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?

I don't mean to start a good, better, best, 'here we go again' tech talk about 9/12, that has been covered, and I have been researching.

I am just wondering: Who tried and ended up preferring a 12" arm?

Aside from all other upgrades you probably did at the same time, which could have improved a 9" arm, what about the 12" arm made you stick with it?

I suppose, 'I tried 12" and went back to 9"' would be good to know also

thanks, Elliott

voltage block?

I'll be taking it apart,, that's for sure, see if any mice lurk within, and, below where I will be putting the 9" arm eventually.

I will let everyone know for sure about any internal voltage change block. I probably will order the small 100w 100v wall wart, have it ready, keep or return if not needed, or if it hums/makes something else hum.

anti-skate - long arm

I get the point about long arm/less anti-skating, but whatever arm I use, I will check and get it floating properly, even if it needs just a speck!

i just examined my tt-71 and there is no voltage block for changing voltage input.
i would be very sure there is not on the tt-81 either but as I am playing albums on it right now not going to get checked for a while.

Sounds like a job for Christmas Day after all presents opened and everyone is now bored.

Stay tuned,it’s a heavy beast to move in that plinth.
The 71 was out of the playing arena which is why I could check it easily
