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

Mine was a dual outlet model so I could power both my tt-81 and tt71 from it.
it came with a built in cable of about five feet so cannot comment on the almost wallwart style of your first link.

I have mine removed in distance from both the TT and power strip and I hear no hum whatsoever.

This was the stepdown I purchased and it performs flawlessly with a measured voltage on each outlet of fractionally under 100vac.

I wish we could edit posts like other forums

this page says ONLY 101 HAS Double Bi-Directional Servo.

Says both 81 AND 71 DO NOT
