Rauliruegas, re your 2/14 2:19pm post...Yep, agreed. An air bearing arm, properly set up, in MHO, just seems to have less 'compromises' in play then any pivoted arm. As to less bass, well, that's one out of how many other observations that can be brought into play. *shrug* Even the 'less bass' observation may be subject to the cart mounted on the arm, and *horrors* subject to 'perception' and 'taste' in the material being played.
The comments on tonearms, carts, and 'set up' of these seems to be akin to politics in it's ability to rankle and trigger no less than 5 and growing pages of posts just tickles me. This 'discussion' starts to remind me of the whole 'tar baby effect' in the Middle East. They've been going on for centuries. I'm just happy that some of the more 'excitable' posters don't have access to drones. It gets ugly enough, and it's just pixels on a screen....
Guy shows up, wants to play a friendly game of catch, and some participants start throwing rocks at each other...AGAIN. *sigh* 'Twas always thus...
I'm going to go listen to some music, have a nice cup of tea, and come back to this thread in a week just to see if it finally imploded AG's server.
