All tonearm designs are compromised to one degree or another. Vinyl is also plagued with different types of distortion, but it still sounds good. In fact, it might sound good because of its distortion rather than in spite of it. Regarding the RS-A1 tonearm, I have never read anything bad about its sound quality even though it is a very unconventional design. On the contrary, all reviewers claim it to be the best sounding tonearm they've ever heard. On the other hand, you might be one of the few people who actually uses it because it is so difficult to use. In other words, sound quality is not at the top of the list of reasons people prefer their tonearms.
As for me, I prefer SME tonearms because I like virtually everything about their design. Furthermore, I prefer an offset tonearm because I prefer to minimize tracking error distortion.
To each his own!
