I see there are 4 new Ortofon tonearms.

Static tone arms: AS-212-S and AS-309-S
Dynamic tone arms: RS-212-D and RS-309-D

What are the differences sonically and in general use of the Static and Dynamic versions of each??

I had a Shindo Labs turntable with a dynamic arm based on an early Ortofon tonearm. I think its outstanding performance was partially attributable to the dynamic arm. Once I tried it as a balanced arm. It was nowhere nearly equal to dynamic tracking.
