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

Mike, Your testfor the validity of a dust cover is fatally flawed. The problem with dust covers is due to the fact that sonic energy radiates from the cartridge as it traverses the LP. Trapping that energy under a dust cover so that vibrations bounce around and feed back on the cartridge body is not good. You’ve ignored that very real phenomenon.

Now I need a 9" arm for a mono cartridge. I assumed I would get UA-7045 to go with mt UA-7082.

two 7045 on ebay, both sagging counterweight, around $400. delivered.

What do we think about UA-77, about $350. delivered. No rubber issue?

At first glance, .... but, the weight is all the way forward.

I wrote the seller a few days ago, he moved the counterweight back as I asked him to do, and it sags more he said.

thanks for your advice Mike.

Today I rearranged equip, it will fit in better than I feared. Measured twice, cut once, I will be ready before it comes. He will ship from Canada after new years.
