Moonglum, No, I have not tried it, yet.
Halcro et al, I only re-stated the case for a rigid connection between tonearm and bearing for the benefit of anyone who is reading this thread for the first time. Such an individual (Thuchan in this case) ought to hear both sides of the question before deciding which direction to choose. Like Henry, I am past trying to convince anyone else who has already made up his mind. But Henry, with all due affection and respect, your analysis of the L07D is ludicrous, certainly compared to the risk for drift of alignment of a fully outboard arm pod. The L07D is a system, using several different metals (stainless steel, alu, brass) with different temperature coefficients of expansion, closely coupled with substantial fasteners and massive. The temperature of a typical listening room varies by a couple of degrees during the course of time. Of course, if you leave your tt in the freezer on off days or cryo-treat the entire unit, you may want to do a re-alignment.
