@mijostyn I'm not following you with regards to your point about the WTA having added mass?The WTA is one of the lightest tonearms around, so light that I can use it with no issues even on my LP12, without disturbing its ultra sensitive suspension. I also don't follow you with your point about the longitudinal resonance...how is this?
I do agree that the WTA has a lot of design issues, along with its brilliance. One of my biggest issues with it is that none of the adjustments are that precise, along with a propensity for these adjustments to not stay through time. The azimuth adjustment is a good example of this. OTOH, the fact that the arm is well damped does help with a number of cartridges that put a lot of energy into the arm, ala the Lyra's. Lastly, isn't the Kuzma 4 point still basically a uni pivot design?
