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

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.

and, what about this Pioneer Tonearm?

Not familiar with that Pioneer arm but you would get yet another huge Victor plinth and a lower model tt-61 table to boot.
Guess that depends on what f you need any of that or just resell minus the arm thereby getting the pioneer arm for cheap.
I can't imagine it is as good as a 7045 though.

well, compatibility with high output mono cartridge is the draw, IF it's a decent arm. I don't need VTA on the fly for the short momo arm..

that base's wood is not sun bleached like the one I bought which I will re-finish. Perhaps I paint one Red!
