9", 10" or 12" tonearms


I keep seeing tonearm ads listed by length and would like someone to comment on the sonic differences that length can make. I know that longer arms cost more so I assume that there must be some difference sonically. Can someone please explain?

and his following ones.
These, together with Thom's comments above, should put the matter to rest.
Geometry "advantages," real or perceived are really only one element in this game...
