@drvinyl01 - Yes, although that comment pretty much applies to everything, right?
A test drive means buying it, installing it, which also means cutting a new plinth, and then doing some listening. A very expensive approach if you decide you don't like the given tonearm. I'd rather get opinions and find a dealer first. The problem with dealers is some of them have systems that don't sound as good as mine, so it makes buying decisions difficult.
