Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm

I am as familiar with JE's views as I am with yours.  Why can't you just go your own way, with my blessings, and know that there are other humans who think differently, on many matters related to audio, at least?  Like JE, you are replacing my comparison of the Viv tonearm to other conventional pivoted tonearms with a comparison of vinyl to digital.  I certainly readily concede that vinyl has more of various distortions than digital.  Happy?  Further, JE is calculating "distortion" using formulae that incorporate TAE as a determining parameter of distortion.  This is what is called a tautology.  Of course, if you make TAE a factor in the equation for distortion, then you will be finding that the more TAE, the more distortion. Like I also wrote above, in an earlier post, JE admitted that he liked the SQ of the RS Labs tonearm, based on LISTENING to it. 

Btw, I know for sure that you as @mijostyn  , me and some other gentlemans just do not like to add distortions in any way and nowhere our room/systems.

I posted several times and I 'm sure that at least one time you read what I posted:

" the name of the MUSIC/sound is to put at minimum any kind of distortons developed by our room/system: this is my main target that even what I posted several times too: nearer to the recording target.

Vinyl has emotional and sentimental ties to the past. It is also a lot of fun. For most people digital is rather boring and they assume it is lifeless. Great digital recordings are stunning and once you get into digital signal processing and all it has to offer the fun is also restored. 

I may have to withdraw my statement that JE listened to an RS Labs tonearm and mentioned it sounded good.  I cannot find the post on VA. Thought I saw it yesterday.  John did acknowledge that the RS Labs has many fans; that's all I can find right now.  Sorry, John, if you are out there, which I doubt.

well the RS Labs is an almost vintage tonearm against the Yamaha and in those all years  audiophiles can change its mind due that were learning in several audio issues almost every day.

@mijostyn  ,  the whole fun behind vinyl is just that a lot of fun, several and different issues/alternatives/ste up parameters/ sevral different cartridges/ the preserve cleaning proccess. It's almost a " religion " all those characteristics and several more, always trying to up-grade/up-date here and there to improve quality reproduction and the other side as you mentioned is that several analog lovers as we are own thousands of LP's.
