I have RF ah7 with Ortofon Xpression. I have been into my audio for over 50 years and have only used vinyl. The RF 7 Tonearm is seems to offer a sense of stability that I have never heard before in any Tonearm, and I’ve own some of the best inc (4point thing). All this talk about tracking distortion just doesn’t see to matter to this tonearm, and not having a fix point bearing seems to make no difference either. I haven’t played a record that has miss tracked since I purchased it. I will say that if I stand my Tonearm on a stationary record and turn up my pre-amp I get no feedback and if I tap my stand (the thud) sounds completely damped. Not sure if that means anything but I’ve never had that good isolation.

Hi everyone. I have just been looking at what you have to say about the Rigid Float Tonearm (as I have owned one for about 5 years now). I just wanted to say that I was using my one with the soft Silicone feet, about a year ago I change the oil (as it was getting containment and very thick). One off the stick-on feet came off so I thought I would try fitting the 3 little spike feet. All I can say is I wasn’t expecting that MUCH of an upgrade. I am a bit puzzled as to why the 3 little spikes feet should make any difference as the bearing FLOATS.
