10 Inch Tonearms


Hi All,
Most tonearm manufacturers make a ten inch tonearm. I am aware as to why someone would want a twelve inch tonearm or a nine inch but where does the ten inch apply? If I wanted to replace my nine inch tonearm with a ten inch, would it matter and if so, how?

Noromance, same cartridge on both of your tonearms?

Goofy, exactly what are your remaining questions about 10” tonearms?
Dear @clearthinker : ""  are far more important than a tiny reduction in tracking error. ""

you are just rigth and you can be sure that kistening ( every thing the same ) OP can't be aware of that tiny tracking error and even maybe he not know what to look for ( during listening tests. ) and be aware on.

Btw, in other words lewm just asked him something that at the end I asked him too before. I don't know for sure but seems to me thahis overall understanding about is low enough to make all his questions or is trolling and nothing more. 
Who can know about but only him, I'm guessing.

Enough for me. It's futile to follow in this useless ( for me. ) thread.

@lewm No. But quickly swapped headshells. Same noted attributes follow the arms to different cartridges.
Thanks.  I should have also asked whether both tonearms are on the same TT, because the adjectives "faster and snappier" suggest a possible speed difference, if two different TTs are used.
@lewm Yeah, same table, same phono cables. Of course, the difference is relatively subtle, but it's there. Anyhow, the 12" looks so much better. 😉
