Tonearm: Well Tempered Lab LTD MK2

According to ortofon tips tonearm with 10g effective mass is great match for cartridges with compliance from 20um to 30um @ 10Hz (in our world) which is equal to compliance of 10 or 15 @ 100Hz in Japan World.

Any chance to read a comments from ZYX users about Well Tempered Lab LTD mK2 tonearm? It must be ideal combination as ZYX compliance is 12/15 x10-6 (100Hz).

I guess I am perplexed as to where a bearing even exists on my WTA Amadeus arm. It's basically a rod attached to a golf ball floating in silicone. And fine sounding it is.....

Vague bearings.....the tone arm does not have any bearings but rather a paddle or ball in silicone fluid. And....they are zero tolerance, to boot.

You must be confusing your arms.

I owned an older arm and loved it. It was function executed to the finest principles of Einstein ' s simple/simpler concept.

I have an Amadeus MKII, quirky bugger and I love the design. It's amazing how natural it becomes to grab the tonearm and place the needle on the record. VTA, azimuth are easily adjusted. I've only compared it to my moded Rega P3 and it sounded a lot better but it should price-wise, not sure how it would compare to others in the same price range.

My former table was a Spacedeck. The Amadeus made it sound broken.....
