Really good tone arms can be made from all sorts of different designs. Tone arms are like everything else all down to how well an innumerable list of details is executed. But I did buy one of his more expensive cartridges. Because he finally associated with the right tonearm designer I will forgive him that mistake, not that he really cares. Peter Ledermann is entitled, like the rest of us to make an occasional mistake. My guess is the designer could not figure out how to add one so he made up this story about how it sounded better without it. Originally it even had no anti skating device.
IMHO the VPI tonearm is garbage which is not to say it can't sound ok under the right circumstances. Why do you think the manufacturers of two very fine arms went through so much trouble to stabilize the third axis? Ask Mark Dohmann or Frank Schroder that question and they will give you the very same answer. Proper well designed 2 axis arms are better and that is a fact. Basis added a second sorry about my mis-typing of gimbal. The one I have played with dates back before magnetic stabilization and it suffered all of the typical unipivot problems. It is very expensive and there are many who think it is the best arm out there. To my knowledge only the Graham as remained a true unipivot and managed to control the torsional stability problem. There have been some pretty fancy and expensive unipivot arms. Sokogear, there is no accounting for taste.
