said that he built 9" arms because longer arms compromised rigidity. There is always a compromise involved in designing arms. saw some benefit to the extra contact points required to stabilize the arm, but, that necessarily involves a tradeoff-additional friction from the bearing used on the stabilizer, and more things that can chatter (not as clean a path grounding vibration transferred from the arm to the arm post). Stablized or not, the Vector arms are still basically uni-pivots. Two different sounds from a uni-pivot design. At the opposite end of the spectrum is another uni-pivot: Naim ARO which has a more lively sound. This is a well-damped sounding set up that some might call "dark" and "not so lively" sounding (I call it "poised"). I currently run a Basis Vector arm (stabilized uni-pivot) on a Basis Debut turntable (with vacuum clamp). I have never had an "accident" with any arm because when it is not playing the record, it is always in the cued-up position. I don't think they are hard to handle either, particularly because I do all needle placement and lifting by using the cue control with all types of arm. Uni-pivots don't jiggle in the groove when playing, and I don't see how they are any harder to set up and adjust. As far as bass response is concerned, the most solid and deep bass I've heard was with some air bearing linear arms and the Morch anisotropic uni-pivot arm (both type of arm have the common characteristic of high inertial mass in the horizontal plane as compared to their mass in the vertical direction). When set up correctly, all types can sound really good with a complimentary cartridge. I don't know if there were obvious particular sonic characteristics for each type. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.I have owned a linear tracking air bearing arm, a gimbal arm, a uni-pivot, a stabilized uni-pivot and a fishing line suspension arm. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file.
