Good day,
According to 2 reputable tonearm manufacturer that I have spoken to, a Rega arm fitting of 222mm center to pivot is slightly better than the Linn fitting of 211 mm. From what I understand, Linn's arms (from Krane to Ekos) are 9'' vs Rega 9.5''. This a case where size does matter and a longer arm is better a shorter one, yes?. Is is it solely a marketing decision on Linn's part?
