Uh, really.
It only has 3 days of break-in on it but as far as I can tell, it's working pretty well. No bearing chatter, very quiet, and no EMI or RFI. Tracking error and distortion seems very low. Also, no need for special grounding. It does however requires special track selections set on repeat x 10 3 times a day to facilitate break-in. Fortunately, the cost of this titanium arm is covered by Medicare. :)

Congratulations, Marty! I hope it was an easier install than your Wilson Audio speakers.

I see you avoided a linear tracker. Hard to carry a pump around.

Heal well and quickly!

Ouch Marty, I have a nice T-shaped piece of titanium in my wrist so I feel your pain. Keep up the exercises and I hope you get your full movements back soon. Best, Sean.

Totally agree. I told Marty last week that post up PT is paramount. I always looked forward to have my ROM measured

The only downside I told Marty is that the days of TSA security clearance are long gone. Even though I still have TSA pre my knees always light up the screen so they end up testing me for everything. Usually adds 15 minutes in getting to the gate.
