Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"?

Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"?
uberwaltzSimple math states that from a pivot point of A to a fixed point of B that the greater the length between A and B is then the greater the measured error will be at point B from a change at point A.What "measured error" are you talking abo... 
Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"?
mijostyn Schroder LT.The Reed 5T is another example. These arms stay tangent to the record, do not skate and totally avoid the problem of very high horizontal mass which plagues the vast majority of designs. Any pivoted arm is subject to skate... 
something is not right here and it's on purpose!!!
nitroxproThe reason that people can’t hear distortion is that there is NO real "standard hearing test."Huh? People most certainly can hear distortion, and that ability has nothing to do with standardized testing. By the way, extensive hearing stud...

lewmcleeds, I am not in any way challenging your statement that FM radio is a "huge industry" in the US, but with all respect can you explain the why and how that works?Sure, @lewm . There are more than 10,000 FM radio stations in the US and more ... 
8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
guitarsam ... plus vinyl has eq applied and 8 track does not ...No, you’re mistaken. There is substantial complementary EQ used on tape recording and playback, not entirely unlike LP with its RIAA curve. 
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
djones51 ... If this statement is true then the reason for it is measurable, the power cord has some anomaly.  Logical fallacy. This is a classic example of the measurementalist's use of circular reasoning, aka "begging the question."  
Klipsch Service, is like calling the Federal Government.....What a joke
Why not pose your questions to a Klipsch dealer?That’s what they’re for. 
ls music out of tune with our brains?
guitarsam ... the music i listen to no matter what the format including digital and vinyl always sounds like something is missing?Of course; it's all imperfect. Even the best sounding audio is only an illusion. l realize the #1 rule of thumb... 
What is the better sounding turntable: Project 1XCarbon or the Rega P3 ??
chakster4,423 posts07-22-2020 9:48amHow do you describe a sound of a turntable itself ? Tonearm/cartridge is what you’re hearing basically.Different cartridge - different soundThe sound of a pickup arm/phono cartridge combination can vary dependin... 
Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍
