I think that MF has a very good point in regards to the 9" arm vs the 12" arm. I would agree with him 100% that the 9" arm if well executed, should have less moment of inertia and more rigidity.
Like I posted above, there are a lot of other overriding factors that I think are more important than length when it comes to a great tonearm, but IME rigidity is a major factor that many seem to dismiss.
As to the aggressive anti-reviewer attitude, oh please!! When we have reviewers who think they are above everyone else...can we say All hail King Peter; then what the heck!
