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.

Dear @lewm : What you like it is not the main subject here, as I pointed out before. 

In the other side I already posted all the facts around Stevenson A alignment. Useless to repeat again.

Higher quality performance levels mainly depends to mantain the audio system distortions ( every kind. ) at minimum. Stevenson A preclude to achieve that critical target but is up to you.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

@lewm : " " I tend to use whatever alignment was in the mind of the person who designed that particular tonearm.. "

that is what you posted here but in your latest post you said:

" For my 505, I do not use the Dyna spec; ""

the 505 designer gaves the set up specs but you are using diferent set up parameters ? ? ! ! ?

Btw, hysteria?, not really only very high ignorance and frustration levels. That's all.
