You can't use a 12" arm on the Technics with its armboard positioning. It would have to be on an outrigger. To my mind, that would be a waste of time as the benefits of 12" arms wouldn't warrant it.

Yes I have had a few things off him agreed he is excellent, it probably is him showing sound business sense by exploiting his well earned reputation for supplying quality cartridges at very competitive prices , I'm just suspicious of everything on ebay these daysQuote:

12" arms I tried sound great for bass and highs but lack the drive / get up and go of a 9".
My FR64s looks like it will fit but is toward the outer/back of the board but central enough for a nice dished board I reckon: its spindle to pivot of 230mm = 9.6" length.
I have an outrigger for 12" arms on the SP-10. I don't use it though since getting the 64s...
12" too far off the beaten track for meQuote:

the lowest price I could find for the Ortofon TA-110 (which is BTW the only Ortofon tonearm that fits the Techy AND that's currently available) is from this greek seller.

The arm got a great review from Adam Smith (Beobloke).

I do rate the new TA-110, and if I were getting one I would buy it from Simon (at Hi-fi Sound in Stockton-on-Tees), where I've bought all my Ortofon 'bits', as he's a top bloke and *may* give you a small discount, most likely if you mention my name ;)
However, IMO, the RS-212D is the better tonearm (built to a higher, more exacting standard, which includes the 'Dynamic Balance' system that improves tracking - an effect I have tested, and so can confirm its efficacy). However, before ordering it from joynetcafe (whom I've used before and can recommend), I'd check with Simon to see if Henley can still obtain stock.
If not, I'd go for the brand new RS-212D from joynetcafe - but if you're serious about obtaining this tonearm then I'd bag it ASAP before stocks dry up completely! :)
Although, like I said, give Simon a shout first: http://www.hifisound.co.uk/

Hi Michael,
Sorry, that is untrue, as I'm currently listening to an Ortofon RS-212D (with an SPU Royal GM fitted) playing music on my own Techy!!Quote:
