Want to change the stock arm. Looking at a triplaner 9" vii any other one around $3500 new used . No preferences in particular.

I just had an experience with the 1200G which, IMHO, has to do with the internal tonearm wires.  I have had my table for about 4 months and after considerable listening, the sound just opened up immensely.  It was very good before this happened.  Now it sounds simply incredible.  I bet its the wires in the tonearm.  They must take a long time to run in.  very deep and accurate bass and the sound just relaxed a bit.  This with a Lyra Delos.  
That is about right, mine opened up became more musically solid after couple hundred hours

one of my questions regarding the Technics arm is how were they able to bend it?  It is magnesium?

The tonearm is made of aluminum with a magnesium coated finish.
