Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm

Wondering if there are any tru-glider tonearm owners that can say that it surpassed their expectations or if in fact it's better than what you were previously using? Also does anyone have a comparison to the Kuzma 4 point 9" arm vs the tru-glider?

Thanks,

Neil

The length of the arm wand has no consequences on the play back.

There is no fixed pivot point.

That’s a bunch of promotional baloney. Of course it does have a pivot. This is not to say that the TG isn’t a good product.

@lewm True, a 13" Viv is available, but so are 7" and 9".

@drvinyl01 If the length has no consequences on playback, why do you think both VivLabs and Integrity Hi-Fi off various lengths?

This Viv arm has a pivot point, it supported in the bottom , it also has a bearing , it is not even close to the Glider. The Glider comes in different lengths ,because of its ability to be mounted  outboard , so it can be placed on different tables, outside of the plinth. The Glider has, no pivot point, no mass ,no friction or bearing.

But the best thing it has is the sound.
