“I have this same turntable, except with the 10.5" Unipivot arm. I'm running a Hana SH moving coil and I am totally satisfied. Haters of unipivot arms are recoiling in horror, but once the stylus hits the groove, there's no rock, rattle, or roll from the bearings, and the longer arm length reduces tracking error, especially important with advanced stylus shapes that can 'chatter' when used in more common 9" arms. The 3D printed arm itself is simply state of the art. With a 22 lb platter, the rotating mass simply ignores stylus drag and other attempts to vary motor speed. Are there better turntables? Perhaps. But any making that claim costs multiples of a VPI Prime”
