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

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

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

Free shipping, it won't be here until 1st or 2nd week of Jan.

I'll take photos of the mice within, how do I post them here?

I've been reading about using faucet washers or O rings to repair the counterweight sagging rubber. I'll figure something out.

What do you think of $350. for an UA-7045 arm (probably also sagging rubber).
