Dear @mijostyn : Yes, that was a kind of explanation with different end subjects.
The other way and the one I'm refering to is the way we set up the VTF where static balance designs makes the job using natural force of gravity and between other advantages this way the tonearm counterweigth will be nearer to the tonearm pivot/bearing/fulcrum.
With that concept the balance way is where the VTF is applied by a kind of spring mechanism that always tend to resonates by it self and where the counterweigth normally is not so nearer to the pivot as the static balance designs. In the balanced design that spring mechanism force/obligates the tonearm to always stays under the determined VTF and this causes severalproblems to mantain VTA/SRA and the cantilever suspension natural movements.
The only balanced tonearm designs with a non-resonant mechanism were the MAX-282 and the Lustre GST-801 both great quality performer designs.
I owned both and even with the non-resonant VTF set up mechanism I always prefered to run it in static way, the same with my SME V, FR and Ikeda samples.
For me make no sense anymore to design today a tonearm with VTF balanced set up way.
