Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm

@maxson 

Thanks for confirming.  I suspect it is this additional ability for movement that plays a big part in the arms response to and recovery from movements that cause mistracking.

Maxson, First, thanks for your response. To your direct observation, does azimuth remain stable over the course of traversing an LP during play? The top surface of the headshell on a Well Tempered Reference tonearm, for example, visibly rolls over toward the spindle as it moves from outer to inner grooves.

@lewm I've never seen the arm roll as you describe. It takes a bit of twisting on my part to get it to leave its upright position.

That’s good, thanks.

I did spend some time trying to see if it could be bought from a seller in Japan. So far no luck in finding a web presence for one who has it listed.
