of them is found to be very coherent, though a slight loss of transient attack
and speed is found. For the cause of lower tracking distortion, the track
sounds in outer and inner portions of the tube is found to be similar in case
of long length arm tubes. Generally these differences of the Tonearms affects

Tonearms will perform better than 12 inch Tonearms made up of silver, as they
