Hi everyone. I have just been looking at what you have to say about the Rigid Float Tonearm (as I have owned one for about 5 years now). I just wanted to say that I was using my one with the soft Silicone feet, about a year ago I change the oil (as it was getting containment and very thick). One off the stick-on feet came off so I thought I would try fitting the 3 little spike feet. All I can say is I wasn’t expecting that MUCH of an upgrade. I am a bit puzzled as to why the 3 little spikes feet should make any difference as the bearing FLOATS.

Would you care to say exactly which version of the Viv Float you own and what you think of it as a tonearm, regardless of its footers?  There are not enough Viv owners on this forum to provide you with a useful opinion, as regards your actual specific question.  In fact the whole idea of an underhung tonearm may be met with hostility, as was the case last time anyone started a thread on the Viv. One could say in general that spiked footers often make an audible difference for good or ill.
