Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms

Back in the day, ’Big Bang’ was a derogatory name for the theory that eventually came to dislodge ’Steady State’. Perhaps it’s time for the pendulum to swing back.

I used to commute with a Lady, who's husband is a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, as a result of their work in astronomy, where the supplied coordinates were located by all the major Institutions known for observing Space.

Curved light was discovered at a particular coordinate, that is now strongly suspected as being the point the Big Bang occurred.

The Theory has moved forward a few steps and the Hypothesis is certainly one that has extended and created a new era of Math. 

A 9" pivoted tonearm using the Lofgrin A pivot to stylus distance and a 30-degree offset has a tracking error less than 2% and this causes second order harmonic distortion far below that of a SET amplifier, which is inaudible. Good luck mounting a cartridge to the nearest degree. This is why linear tracking tonearms are no advantage over the advantages of pivoted tonearms.

This is why linear tracking tonearms are no advantage

But this is not an agreed fact. Science proceeds by finding reasons for agreed facts; these reasons become models; and models make predictions, which are subject to test.

You seem to be stating a prediction and treating it as an experimental fact.

Thanks for pointing that out.  Yes, but is it possible that the audible experience that others have with linear tonearms is due to some other factor?  Maybe the lack of anti-skate plays a role?  Regardless, theory and reality can sometimes be different, which is why I was hoping that some would comment on their experience with various tonearms.
