Dover that is only true if the tonearm is too heavy for the cartridge. Shure has been wrong on a number of accounts. Studies showing variations in VTF over record irregularities distinctly favor low inertia combinations as long as the resonance frequency is above 8 Hz. As VTF changes over record irregularities FM distortion is created.
The twin beam design of the headshell does nothing to limit resonance. It is torsionally much less stable than say and SME headshell which is even lighter. It is a bad way to adjust overhang and a worse way to design a headshell which is why most tonearm manufacturers do not do it that way.
I owned a 4 Point 14. The twin needle vertical bearing is superior to the typical gimbal bearing for several reasons. First of all it is every bit as stable as the needles are far apart and adequately weighed. It has less friction and the vertical bearing is down at the level of the record leading to less warp wow. The 4 Points also have a great headshell.
The Coralstone is not a great tracker in ANY arm. No cartridge that stiff ever is including the Air Tight cartridges. An Ortofon Windfeld Ti will run circles around them. As will a bunch of other cartridges. The usual reason compliance is made so low is because the mass of the moving system of the cartridge is so high that it takes the lowest compliance to keep the high frequency resonance up out of the audio band. But, in an arm that weighs as much as the Axiom the Coralstone should perform at it's best assuming the Axiom does not weigh too much. All the stone bodied Koetsu's are quite heavy. The OP, if he likes Koetsu's might be better served by getting A Rosewood Signature Platinum which is some 5 grams lighter.
