"is there any manufacturer who makes a pivoting cartridge joint
to offset the decreasing groove circumference ?"
Garn 509, yes there is! The Sakura RS 1 has just that feature. Have heard one and it sounded incredible all the way through the album side. But at 1400 bucks for an arm that is not fastened in place ,has no adjustment and wires more delicate than an 85 year old womans bones, is a pain to install a cartridge on and just does not look worth the price. Although not for the squeamish or the fiddling tweaker its abilities heard with ones ears defies what ones eyes see. Myself personally I just could not bring myself to put out 1400 bucks for it.
Maybe audiofeil could chime in here as he may have more insight and knowledge of this arm through his experience. Put down the bong Bill!
Cheers
