TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?

TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?

I don't mean to start a good, better, best, 'here we go again' tech talk about 9/12, that has been covered, and I have been researching.

I am just wondering: Who tried and ended up preferring a 12" arm?

Aside from all other upgrades you probably did at the same time, which could have improved a 9" arm, what about the 12" arm made you stick with it?

I suppose, 'I tried 12" and went back to 9"' would be good to know also

thanks, Elliott

Most are aware of your preferences but since Elliott had already 
purchased his table and arm, some of your words
were a definite "buzz kill".

Have yourself a merry Christmas.

They TVK are wrong/misleading regarding the TT-71
it is not Bi-directional nor coreless. 

A lot of what has been said is true the TT-81 is a very good TT.

There in my mind still exists some questions as to its design
similarity to the TT-101 although many statements have been made.
I'll leave it at that since I can't definitely prove it.

A note, the TT-101 has an input voltage change block accessed 
once the cage is removed. Perhaps the same is true for the TT-81
and a step down may not be needed.
