There seems to be any logical arguments why the ViV shouldn’t sound good. Mostly/all from those who have not tried it or even heard it.
On the other hand, there’s a lot of very positive empirical reports from actual users. I’ll likely purchase a ViV to accompany my 4point, Schroeder CB-L, and my Schick (for SPUs) to try out. Maybe this arm may scratch my linear tracker itch for lower noticeable distortion at the end of records especially for orchestra finishes.
