Having the center of mass of the counter-wt in the plane of the LP is said to result in less variation of VTF as the tonearm traverses a warp, or, I suppose, the normal vertical undulations imparted via the groove modulations. (But those vertical movements are, to say the least, microscopic.) Who, that can afford any one of these tonearms, plays warped LPs? Point is, I am not sure how critical this design element is or whether adopting it involves some other trade-down in sound quality.
What's the best unipivot to arm ever made?
I'm really fond of unipivot tonearms in their way of music reproduction. For my point of view they represent the music with full of energy without loosing its authority and signature. Less is more? I do not know! I'm currently using a Mayware Formula 5 tonearm and believe is one of the best to arms ever made regardless price. Much better than my previous Schroeder Reference (even though I must admit Schroeder was mounted in an inferior turntable). What's your opinion about the best unipivot tonearm ever made and why your preference is so special?
