Tonearm: Well Tempered Lab LTD MK2

Vague bearings.....the tone arm does not have any bearings but rather a paddle or ball in silicone fluid. And....they are zero tolerance, to boot.

You must be confusing your arms.

I owned an older arm and loved it. It was function executed to the finest principles of Einstein ' s simple/simpler concept.

No bearings in the normal application of bearings....they are zero tolerance, too.....so how are they vague? I'm not sure I understand or follow what you are describing.

Thanks for clarifying what you meant by vague. You can vary
the amount of fluid in the cup and it has a pronounced effect
on the sound. Also, as you are aware, all other adjustment
you complain about can be fine tuned, you just need to let
the arm settle a bit after you adjust it. Anyway....I don't
own a well tempered arm at present but have in the past and
would do so in the future. I've always wanted a reference.

I guess we can end by agreeing to disagree.

You say potato I say patato.....let's call the whole thing
off! ;?)
