    Kenwood L-07D - a second tonearm for a legend

    9in vs 10.5in vs 12in arms. Which would you choose?

    Fremers position is that 9in is best and certain manufacturers only make one length so you don't have a choice. However, if you did have a choice would you choose: 9in 10.5in 12in Lets assume that there is no difference at all in the tonearm and they will all be built with the same...
